Caustic Cavendish proves he’s not done just yet (Reuters)
By Julien Pretot UTAH BEACH, France (Reuters) – Mark Cavendish showed he is not done just yet, hitting back at those people who think he is past his prime in his trademark caustic style after winning the opening stage of the Tour de France to take the yellow jersey on Saturday. It was the Briton’s 27th Tour stage win and he now is seven shy of Eddy Merckx’s all-time record and one behind second-placed Bernard Hinault. Near one of the D-Day beaches, the former world champion put his doubts behind him to beat German Marcel Kittel and rainbow jersey holder Peter Sagan of Slovakia.
