Cavendish seals British Championship

Mark Cavendish has added the British Championship to his growing list of honours.

The Manxman won a sprint finish yesterday to claim his first National Road Race title in Glasgow.

He overtook David Millar on the home straight and held off the challenge of Ian Stannard, who recovered from a puncture in the penultimate lap to claim silver.

It’s the ideal preparation for the Tour de France, which starts on Corsica on Saturday.

Another Manxman Peter Kennaugh finished in a fine fourth place.
