Here is a video of the exciting finale of today's stage of the Tour de France. British cyclist Mark Cavendish, who hails from the Isle of Man, is unbeatable in a sprint. His teammates (one of whom is American cyclist George Hincapie) give him a perfect leadout every time. No rival can match his acceleration. The thing I like about Cavendish is that he is gracious. He genuinely loves his teammates and appreciates the work they do for him. You can see it in the way he hugs and kisses them afterward. You can be sure that this graciousness on his part makes his teammates want to suffer even more for him. Here is tomorrow's stage.
