Mark Cavendish has produced an awesome display of sprinting to win Stage 18 of the Tour de France this afternoon.
He finished several bike lengths ahead of his rivals to take his fourth victory at the 2010 edition and the 14th of his career.
The Manx Missile remains in third place in the race for the overall Green Jersey......but is now just six points behind Thor Hushovd and sixteen behind new leader Alessandro Petacchi.
The final standings will be decided on Sunday in Paris where another sprint finish is almost a certainty.
