Mark Cavandish narrowly lost out in the Scheldeprijs semi-classic race in Belgium today.
The Manx Missile was one of the favourites ahead of the 204km race between Antwerp and Schoten.
However, German rider Marcel Kittel pipped Cav to the post and denied the Manxman gaining a fourth win on the course.
It's the second year in succession Kittel has won the race.
