Manx cyclist Mark Cavendish has made a superb start to his full-time professional career with the T-Mobile team.
On the opening day of the first European Pro-tour event of the season, the Laxey rider finished the 126km stage in second place.
He was narrowly beaten in a sprint at the finish in Marseille.
Today's 149km second stage of five will take the peloton from Nimes to Saint Ambroix.
