It’s been another frustrating day for Manx Missile Mark Cavendish after the third stage of the Tour de France.
Racing for Team HTC Columbia, Cav finished in 25th place, more than two minutes behind Norwegian rival Thor Hushovd - his main rival for the sprinters' green jersey.
It leaves him in 110th place overall after today’s gruelling 213km stage.
Tomorrow’s stage is shorter, 153km, and runs from Cambrai to Reims.
