His fourth stage success of the week, the Manx Missile won the sprint from Los Angeles to Pasadena with overall winner Peter Sagan coming home in third place.
Sagan was three seconds ahead of the Manxman’s team-mate Julian Alaphilippe who forewent his own chances to help Cavendish win a fourth stage.
Cavendish also retained the sprinters points competition he won last year – in the end he finished 13 points ahead of Sagan.
Peter Kennaugh finished in a fine ninth place overall – he was 52nd on the final stage.

He said ‘I'm super proud of what we’ve done here and think things are going in the right direction ahead of the Tour de France.’
