The finish scene in Chateauroux where Mark CAVENDISH (GBR/DECEUNINCK-QUICK STEP) has won the last three times among his now 32 career Tour de France stage wins		share this photo
With both hands placed on his head, just like the previous times he won in Châteauroux (2008 and 2011), Cavendish crossed the line a bike-length clear of the riders who completed the podium, celebrating his 50th Grand Tour stage victory – a massive achievement for the 36-year-old, who even at this age continues to show the same unbridled passion, commitment and desire that have fuelled his career ever since turning pro.		share this photo
Great to receive Sam Smith's work once again. You can follow him on Instagram at @jesuisSamSmith		share this photo
“The boys worked hard the entire day and did a phenomenal job, and I can’t be grateful enough to them for how much they buried themselves. The finale was full gas, reminiscent of the one ten years ago, when we went so fast in the last ten kilometers that almost I was at the limit. The wind was coming from the right and I was on the left side, so I waited for a split second longer in the wheels before opening my sprint. To win again at the Tour, where there’s an incredible group of sprinters, is just beautiful and I am super happy”, an over-the-moon Mark Cavendish said at the press conference.		share this photo
