Cavendish Cruises on Champs-Élysées, Contador Crowned – 96th Tour de France Stage 21
An exultant Alberto Contador (Astana) stood on top of the final Tour de France podium for the second time in his short cycling career.

Holy Manxman, Cavendish Takes Fifth – 96th Tour de France Stage 19
Sandwiched between the final Individual Time Trial and the climb up the mystical Mont Ventoux, today’s 178 km Stage 19 from Bourgoin-Jallieu to Aubenas was supposed to be a relaxed transitional stage where a break would amble off the front and the peloton would amble, er race, after, but never quite catch them.
And for the [...]
Deja Dominant, Cavendish Takes Fourth – 96th Tour de France Stage 11
With an uphill finish on today’s 192km Stage 11 from Vatan to Saint Fargeau, Mark Cavendish (Team Columbia – HTC) was not a popular pick to take the victory.

Cavendish Unmatched, HTC Instant Gratification – 96th Tour de France Stage 2
Similar to Fabian Cancellara’s greatness (Team Saxo Bank) in the time trial, Mark Cavendish (Team Columbia – HTC) is equally as consistent and devastating in the sprint.

Youth Is Served
In youth everything is deemed possible. No obstacle is too high, no goal unattainable.
The laws of nature and the desires of man, however, tell us otherwise. The human body is fragile and the choices we make can lead us to unending heights or abysmal lows.
Such was the plight of Mark Cavendish this summer. [...]
Manxman Of The Day
Finally, a day for the sprinters.
Having missed out on the opportunity in Nantes because of a successful four-man breakaway, the sprinters’ teams finally got it together and caught the last remnant, Nicolas Vogondy (Agritubel), of a three-man break in the final 300m before the finish in Châteauroux.
Similar to his teammate Romain Feillu on Stage 3, [...]
