Cavendish takes Tour De France stage win

Great Britain's Mark Cavendish today scorched to the 16th Tour de France stage win of his career before hinting at the demons which lie beneath his combustible personality.

The 26-year-old from the Isle of Man came from behind to belatedly open his 2011 Tour account on the crash-strewn 164.5-kilometres fifth stage from Carhaix to Cap Frehel on the Brittany coast in a time of three hours 38 minutes and 32 seconds.
