This week Mark Cavendish reached 100 professional victories, so I thought it would be appropriate to look back at the Manxman’s five best wins. To qualify the victory had to be in a sprint finish, Cavendish’s specialty.

Just as we thought the issue of Tour de France leadership at BMC racing might have been sorted, Tejay Van Garderen has won the Tour of California in convincing style.
