Mark Cavendish turns the tables on Tyler Farrar
Saint Louis Post-Dispatch
With the help of Big George Hincapie shutting down a move and then leading him, Columbia-High Road’s Mark Cavendish won the final stage of Tirreno-Adriatico on Tuesday, beating American Tyler Farrar to the finishing line.
This was four days after Farrar came from behind and wheeled past the seemingly unbeatable Cavendish at the finish of Stage 3.
Cavendish so far is spot on his goal to win a stage in every race in which he competes this year, according to Velonews.com. Twas nice to see Farrar contending again, showing that his victory was no fluke. The Stage 3 victory over Cavendish was a major breakthrough for the 24-year-old American.
