STAGE 5 IMAGE OF THE DAY

In contrast to last year's Tour, Mark Cavendish has looked in stage-winning form from day one of this year's event. However, the race organisers have clearly set out to make the flatter stages a little more "interesting" than has been the norm. Exposed locations and stinging climbs in the final 10km have disrupted the normal pattern of "flat" stage finishes.
Normally, on a pan-flat run in, the teams of the leading sprinters have the opportunity to give their chosen man a helping hand, with "trains" of team riders piloting them into the final sprint, where they can unleash their finishing bursts.
The 2011 Tour to date has completely dirupted this normal pattern with many of the sprinters unable to stay in contention , especially on the final climb of stage 4, even with the help of their "trains".
However, Stage 5, featuring a windy, crash-ridden plot, with another lumpy denouement, saw Mark Cavendish overcoming an unfavourable situation in fine style, freelancing his way through the pack in the closing seconds, helped to an extent by his team, but also going it alone where necessary, to claim one of his most memorable wins.
Geraint Thomas was one of the riders he used to leadfrog through the pack in the closing metres and the Welshman took fifth on the stage to maintain his top ten position overall, as did Bradley Wiggins and David Millar.

Bradley Hails a Cab!
After some lengthy post-race interviews, Mark Cavendish retired to his room and Twittered on the day's activity. First there was the surprise he felt at winning - like many viewers, he thought he was out of it as the chaotic stage ended in a frenetic and unpredictable sprint:
Wow, that wasn't a finish I can call easy! 200m thought I was racing for 3rd. Team were incredible to keep me sheltered on a hard day.
His mid-stage anger after being blocked in the intermediate sprint was assuaged by the news that the culprits had been docked their points:
Have to say I feel blessed to see some consistency in the Jury decisions. Stopped feeling sorry for myself now! Really, thank you.
A quick moan at some post-stage intrusion -
Please, it doesn't matter if you're a journalist, fan, or anyone else, I feel knocking at my hotel room is pretty unacceptable. #notananimal
...was followed by the usual winding-down, reflective comments as he began to relax:
Have to say, never been to this part of France before. Really beautiful. And great for cycling. No wonder Hainault was so good!
MASSIVE thank you to everyone for the congratulation messages. Really glad you enjoyed the stage today.
Before a final, humorous punch-line to a memorable day
S***, just saw my post-race interview on TV. Just going to clip my facial hair before bed #looklikeahobo
But it wasn't Cavendish who took the prize for the funniest Tweet of the stage as Brad Wiggins was on fine form opening up with
Cab once again silences his critics, well done mate
Which was followed seconds later by...
Shitty iPhone predictor, CAV not Cab!
Whilst Geraint Thomas reflected on Cavendish's use of his slipstream in the final run-in:
It's true, @MarkCavendish n me,are good mates. But I only lead him out when we wear GB jerseys!! He just knows the good wheels to follow ;)
There was relief in Ben Swift's final tweet of the day after surviving a day of crashes in the narrow Brittany lanes:
Crazy day in the TDF after 3days of near misses I finally went down today. Soft landing in the verge though. Great sprint by Cav.
Finally, many in the global peloton tweeted their sadness at the death of Australian cyclist Carly Hibberd who was hit by a car whilst out training in Italy. Team Sky's Chris Sutton summed it up when he simply said "so sad".
