Mark Cavendish has won Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne today, the first British victory in this long running race on the first weekend of the Belgian season. The race always seemed likely to come down to a sprint finish and the Sky team came to the front of the peloton to sweep up the breakaway with 5km to go. From then on Sky kept control despite challenges from Lotto-Belisol and FDJ to setup Cavendish perfectly for the sprint. The Manx rider got the jump on his rivals and won comfortably despite a late challenge from Yauheni Hutarovich.
