Cavendish 58th in Belgium

Manx star Mark Cavendish had a disappointing race in the men's Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday.

The Team Sky rider finished way back in 58th position.

Cavendish fell into the chasing pack as the group split with 35 kilometres to go.

A late surge in an attempt to bridge the gap proved futile.

Belgium's Tom Boonen was the eventual winner, claiming his second win in as many years at the Gent-Wevelgem.

He held off the challenges from Peter Sagan of Slovakia and Matti Breschel of Denmark to claim victory.
