Cav grabs first stage win of Tour de France 2010

by isleofman.com 8th July 2010

Mark Cavendish has finally kick-started his Tour de France green jersey bid, claiming victory in today's fifth stage.

Cav got the perfect lead-out from team mate Mark Renshaw, who dropped the Manx sprint star off with 240 metres to go.

That gave him the platform to power over the line ahead of Gerald Cioleck and Edvald Boasson Hagen.

He's still some 52 points behind Thor Hushovd in the points competition though.
