Cavendish takes 11th season victory, Steegmans moves into lead
|
T-Mobile's Mark Cavendish has reached his personal target of 11 wins this season, outgunning Gert Steegmans (Quick.Step-Innergetic) and Robbie McEwen (Predictor-Lotto) on today's sprint finish into Poperinge, Belgium. The young sensation decided during the year that 11 wins would be his target, and today proved to be third time lucky after a crash on Stage 1 and yesterday's narrow defeat by Steegmans.
"I am totally happy, that I have reached my self-set goal of 11season victories," the 22 year-old said on the team's website, t-mobile-team.com. "After a few miscalculations yesterday, today it went perfectly."
There was consolation for Steegmans, however, as the Belgian took the race lead from Switzerland's Aurélien Clerc (Bouygues Telecom) with just one stage remaining. Thanks to today's time bonuses, Cavendish is now sitting in second overall within one second of Steegmans, making tomorrow's sprint into Tournai likely to decide overall honours.
"I'm feeling strong and have a strong team supporting me," said Cavendish. "We will be prepared for whatever happens tomorrow."
How it unfolded
Today's stage was a predominantly flat 195 kilometres, marked by a four-man break which built up a maximum lead of eight minutes on the peloton. Rabobank and T-Mobile were active on the front, steadily bringing the breakaway to heal within sight of the finish.
Quick.Step then sent their train to work in the finale, hoping for a repeat of yesterday's win by Steegmans. It was not to be, however, as Cavendish's right hand man Roger Hammond latched on Steegmans' back wheel, giving the Manxman a text book leadout for his 11th season win.
Tomorrow's final stage features a category one climb midway through, followed by a second category ascent then three laps of a finishing circuit around Tournai.
