Yesterday in Montargis, Britain's Mark Cavendish was able to claim his eleventh Tour day victory; it was his first of this year and the most important. his huge yell of triumph as he crossed the line over a bike's length from Gerald Ciolek, followed by tears of joy on the podium confirmed how bad he wanted to win. After dominating sprinting for almost three years, cavendish's 2010 season hadn't seen any victory so far. ''The pressure has been terrible'', Cavendish claimed, but yesterday the rider who had appeared unbeatable in 2009 was finally back on top of his game. He said that his tough season had matured him. Yesterday after a week of criticism and self-doubt, Cavendish was back with the widespread recognition of his status as the sport's top sprinter. ''he's still the fastest rider in the world,'' said sprint jersey leader, Thor Hushovd, ''and today he showed that.

This is the most beautiful moment of the Tour de France so far. The day before his day victory he lost the sprint on a terrible manner. Other sprinters passed on the the left and the right side, there was nothing he could do except stop cycling. After his loss he was so mad and irritated he started to throw with his bike. Cavendish was always somebody with excessive pride so this has put him right in his place again. I still expect a lot more from him.
