Manxman Mark Cavendish earned his third stage victory Tuesday at the Tour de France, taking Stage 10 at Valence in a dash for the finish line.
It was the 33rd stage win in Cavendish’s career as he edged out Belgium’s Wout van Aert and Jasper Philipsen, who finished second and third, respectively, in the 190.7-kilometer flat stage that began in Albertville.
“Old school, run of the mill, like you read in a cycling magazine, textbook lead-out,” the 36-year-old Cavendish said after the finish. “We just got the lads on the front and pulled as fast as they can so no one can come up and try to come past in the finish.”
