Mark Cavendish has finally kick-started his Tour de France green jersey bid, claiming victory in today's fifth stage.
Cav got the perfect lead-out from team mate Mark Renshaw, who dropped the Manx sprint star off with 240 metres to go.
That gave him the platform to power over the line ahead of Gerald Cioleck and Edvald Boasson Hagen.
He's still some 52 points behind Thor Hushovd in the points competition though.
