Today (Saturday), Manxman Mark Cavendish was nearly 20 minutes behind the winner, Portugal's Rui da Costa, who held off a late dash from Belgian Phillipe Gilbert.
Cavendish is 113th overall and remains third in the battle for the sprinters’ green jersey but fell further behind points leader Gilbert.
