After he perfectly navigated from wheel to wheel, Mark Cavendish kicked from 66.1 to 69.4 km/h into the last 200 metres of the day to fly past his rivals. Biniam Girmay went up to 69.7 km/h but it was too late to counter the Cav’s acceleration towards a record breaking 35th victory. Meanwhile, Mads Pedersen was doing 62.4 km/h when he crashed.
