Manx cyclist Mark Cavendish has claimed victory for the first time in this year’s Tour de France.
It marks his first Tour Stage win, in stage five of the 232-kilometre run from Cholet to Chateroux.
He pipped Spain’s Oscar Freire and German Erik Zabel to the winning post a short time ago.
Cavendish burst into the lead in the last 200 metres of the stage and the sprinters overtook French champion Nicolas Vogondy.
