Cavendish wins his 28th Tour de France stage. Picture: Action Images
Mark Cavendish has won his 28th Tour de France stage in a photo finish with Andre Greipel in Angers.
This win has now drew the 31-year-old level with Frenchman Bernard Hinault and means he is now only behind 34-time stage winner Eddy Merckx of Belgium.
There was initial confusion at the end as it looked Greipel had just about held on for the win.
Isle of Man rider Cavendish has now won two of this year’s three stages.
