What a day - a tremendous lead out by the HTC Highroad train on the Champs Elysees, provided Mark Cavendish with the perfect opportunity to win his 5th stage of this year's TdF, the overall Green Jersey points classification, his 3rd win on the trot in Paris and his 20th Stage win in his career - and he did not disappoint - delivering a perfect sprint finish leaving his opponents in awe. It was a nice touch from previous teammate and sometime opponent, Andre Griepel, to applaud Mark immediately after the finish - Mark is simply unbeatable at the moment!This is how some publications have marked his victory:
Cycling Weekly
Velo News
The Guardian
The Telegraph
