Cav reigns again in Italy!

by isleofman.com 17th May 2009

Manx cyclist Mark Cavendish has won another stage of the Giro d'Italia.

He crossed the line in a bunch sprint at the end of stage nine, which saw the field complete ten laps of a 16.5 kilometre circuit in Milan.

Cav edged out Australian Allan Davis and American Tyler Farrar to claim victory, and make it three straight wins for his Columbia-Highroad team.

Tomorrow is a rest day for the cyclists before Stage 10 on Tuesday, the 262 kilometre section from Cuneo to Pinerolo.

Cav won the first stage of the event, and held onto the coveted pink jersey after being beaten by a bike's length in stage two.
