Friday, July 9, 2010 – Daily News – 3B Mark Cavendish wins 5th stage at Tour de France MONTARGIS, France (AP) — Cycling’s ‘‘bad boy’’ just made good. British sprint star Mark Cavendish broke down in tears after overcoming a Tour de France victory drought by winning the race’s fifth stage on Thurs- day. France’s sports minister said her heart was warmed and fellow riders reached out to Cavendish as he cried. He said he had learned to come down from his ‘‘cloud’’ — where both elation and high expecta- tions reside. With the pack close on the heels of Cavendish, the overall standings didn’t change on the hot and most- ly flat 116.3-mile trek along wheat fields from Epernay in Champagne country to Montargis. Gerald Ciolek of Ger- many was second and Nor- way’s Edvald Boasson Hagen third. Fabian Cancellara retained the leader’s yellow jersey, defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain was 19th in the stage, and seven-time tour winner Lance Armstrong finished 30th. With the Tour headed across the flats of northeast- ern France, sprint specialists like Cavendish get their chance to shine. When the race heads to the Alps start- ing Sunday, they’re all but certain to fade into the back- ground — until a new run of flats in the southeast in the second week. The 25-year-old Briton, known nearly as much for his dazzling promise as a sprinter as for his hot tem- per, made it look easy behind a splendid perfor- mance by his HTC-Colum- bia teammates, finishing the stage in 4 hours, 30 min- utes, 50 seconds. While he won three stages in races this year — and even won the final Tour stage in 2009 — Cavendish suggested it felt like an eter- nity since he’d won on cycling’s biggest stage. ‘‘It’s incredible, it’s been a long time,’’ said Cavendish of his 11th career stage win at the Tour. ‘‘Yesterday wasn’t that great for us. I let the guys down.’’ In Tuesday’s fourth stage, Cavendish lost out to Italian veteran Alessandro Petacchi — even though the Briton had a near picture- perfect lead-out from his team — and hurled his bike in frustration afterward. Cavenish’s image also took a blow this spring after he was fined by internation- al cycling’s governing body for making a finger gesture that was deemed unsuitable after he won a sprint finish in a Tour de Romandie stage. Holding his face in his hands and breaking down in a TV interview, Cavendish admitted the ‘‘pressure was immense,’’ said he had been through a lot and denied that he had thrown his bike down a day earlier. ‘‘I just want to thank all the people who supported me,’’ he added. With Cavendish pausing to cry, Cancellara came up and put his arm around the Briton. ‘‘Sprints are never easy,’’ Cancellara said. ‘‘They’re psychologically very hard. Today, we saw a nice thing: After all the buzz around him — the young sprinter, the big mouth and all that — ... he’s a real sprinter.’’ Among the top con- tenders behind Cancellara, Cadel Evans of Australia holds third place, 39 sec- onds back, and last year’s runner-up Andy Schleck of Luxembourg is sixth, 1:09 back. Contador is ninth, 1:40 back, and Armstrong is 2:30 back in 18th. After crashing during the second stage Monday and popping a tire and losing time in the third stage on Tuesday, Armstrong turned his attention to keeping out of trouble in frenzied finish- es like Thursday’s — that play to sprinters’ strengths — and looking ahead to the first mountain stage on Sun- day.
