Mark Cavendish claimed a second consecutive victory by taking this morning's third stage in the Three Days of de Panne race in Belgium.
It was the Team High Road star's second road win of the new season, his 13th overall and followed hot on the heels of the World Madison title he claimed with Bradley Wiggins in Manchester last week.
At the end of today's 119km stage, Cav again outsprinted Italy's Francesco Chicchi to the finish line.
The victory puts him in line for the green points jersey.
