Mark Cavendish was deeply disappointed not to win Grio stage 12 in Carpi.

His late acceleration proved he is the fastest sprinter in the final 100 metres of the Giro sprints but he again lost out to Daniele Bennati (Liquigas) due to a slight mistake in the finale.

?I spoke to the lads this morning and told them that were the best team in the world and we showed that in the finale today," he told Cycling Weekly.
