Cavendish wins Tour's second stage

Mark Cavendish today won a first Tour de France stage as world champion and a 21st of his career.

The 27-year-old from the Isle of Man operated primarily on his own in the finale and showed his supreme bike handling ability on today’s 207.5-kilometre second stage from Vise to Tournai to win ahead of Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) and Matt Goss (Orica-GreenEdge).
