09/07/10 - Cavendish wins his second consecutive stage. Stage 6 of the Tour De France
Mark Cavendish wins his second Stage with a perfect leadout from his HTC leadout train.
There was almost a crash in the final corner with 650m to go, as riders collided before the final right hand corner. But then Renshaw again dragged Cavendish out of the pack and set him up perfectly. Cavendish launched at just the right time and Farrar was unable to follow and lost his slipstream.
Cavendish takes it ahead of Farrar and Petacchi. Robbie McEwen (Katusha) was fourth and Gerald Ciolek (Milram) fifth.
Fabian Cancellara (Saxo Bank) keeps the overall race lead and the yellow jersey.
