Battered but determined to sprint on in the Giro d’Italia after a dramatic late crash sent him spinning across the stage 5 finish line, Mark Cavendish has said he will fight for more success in the Italian Grand Tour.
Well-positioned to sprint for victory at Salerno, the veteran British fastman first had the bad luck of his back wheel spinning on a white line within sight of the finish, then went careering into the barriers when an ill-judged manoeuvre by Alberto Dainese (DSM) saw their wheels clash.
