Cavendish wins 12th stage of Giro D'Italia

Manx Missile makes it 7 career victories in the event

Mark Cavendish has triumphed again in the Giro D’Italia, winning stage 12.

The Manx Missile has now made it seven stage wins in the Giro in his still relatively short professional career.

He completed the mostly flat 114-mile route in just over 4 hours and 17 minutes.

Despite his victory Alberto Contador still retains the overall lead as they head into a long series of difficult mountain stages tomorrow.

The 13th stage will be a 104 treck from Spilimbergo to Grossglockner.
