The Isle of Man
By Paul Sherwen
Fifty years after the first British rider won a stage in the Tour de France, Mark Cavendish from the Isle of Man has just won two. His team did a phenomenal job getting him into an ideal position to win the stage and he didn’t let them down.
His acceleration over the last 50 meters is reminiscent of a younger Robbie McEwen as he just pulled away from everyone else, including his own teammate Gerald Ciolek, who hung onto to second place.
What is more amazing is that this was only the second sprint in which all of the top sprinters were present and the young Manxman won both. At just 23, this young man is going to be around for a few years to come.
