CAVENDISH SHOWS HIS SPEED IN GIRO D’ITALIA SPRINT

Mark Cavendish Giro 2008 stage 13

Mark Cavendish made sure there was no need for a photo finish at the Giro d?Italia on Friday. He lost by three centimetres to Daniele Bennati (Liquigas) in Carpi on Thursday but won by three bike lengths in Cittadella.

Cavendish is the first British rider to win two stages of the Giro d?Italia and his latest win also moves him up to eighth in Cycling Weekly's list of all-time British pro winners.
