Mark Cavendish 'happy' with sixth placed finish on Stage 3 of the Tour de France as he chases record stage win
Mark Cavendish praised the way his Astana Qazaqstan team performed as he took a sixth placed finish on Stage 3 of the Tour de France. Eurosport’s pundits on The Breakaway clashed over whether the result was positive or not, with Adam Blythe suggesting it was “not good enough by far” as Cavendish missed his first sprint opportunity to secure a record 35th stage win. Ad Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) took victory during a dramatic sprint finish and despite missing out, Cavendish was in good spirits as the stage came to an end.
