When Mark Cavendish won stage 12 of the 2010 Vuelta a Espana he became only the second British rider to take individual stage wins at all three grand tours.
Robert Millar, the Glasgow-born climber, won stages at the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana in the 1980s.
Cavendish, from the Isle of Man, netted the stage win in Lleida on Thursday, September 9, as he seeks to prepare for the World Championships in October.
