Mark Cavendish took his 20th win of the season with victory in the Sparkassen Giro in Bochum, Germany. Cavendish beat Gerald Ciolek in a sprint finish to the 180km one-day race.
Team manager, Rolf Aldag commented, "He had a tough Tour de France and he’s been winning all season, but the victories just keep coming. And this was not an easy race at all. It was held on a tough little circuit, with two short but hard climbs and then a fast descent to the finish, and on top of that it was raining most of the day. A break of five guys got away but in the last lap and a half we managed to bring things back together for Cavendish. He seems to be totally unbeatable in the sprints right now.”
