The euphoria of Mark Cavendish’s record-breaking stage win on Wednesday’s fifth of the Tour de France proved short-lived, as 24 hours later Dylan Groenewegen reminded the world that other sprinters are also in the peloton.
Cavendish, who took a record-breaking 35th stage win in the Tour, was blocked out in the 300 metres of the sprint on the Cours Général de Gaulle in Dijon and could only watch as the Dutchman edged out Jasper Philipsen and the stage three winner, Biniam Girmay.
