Cavendish Sprints to four Stage Wins 

Mark Cavendish claimed his fourth stage win of the 2016 Tour de France and 30th of his career 

Cavendish's win on stage 14  in Villars-les-Dombes was not confirmed until commissaries had reviewed the footage, as Marcel Kittel claimed he was cut off. Kittel was angered by their decision to uphold the result.

Kittel believed Cavendish cut him off in the final metres, and the German could be seen waving an arm in anger as the Manxman crossed the line ahead of Norwegian Alexander Kristoff of Katusha and Tinkoff's world champion Peter Sagan in third.

Cavendish said he had no idea there was a problem until he was waiting to speak to television reporters after the finish. "Obviously I didn't see it because I was in front" the Dimension Data rider said.

Mark Cavendish recently surpassesed Bernard Hinault's 28 stage wins and getting ever closer to Eddy Merckx's 34 stage wins.
