Puncture ruins Cav's chances of winning final Tour de France stage

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

There was frustration for Manx man Mark Cavendish in the finale of last night's Tour de France as he missed out on making it five Paris stage wins in five years.

Misfortune dogged the Laxey man throughout this tour, with a puncture ruining his plans last night, paving the way for Marcel Kittel who bagged his fourth stage win of the tour.

There was joy for fellow Manx rider Peter Kennaugh however with his efforts as one of Team Sky's 'magnificent seven' helping team leader Chris Froome to claim the overall victory.
