Cav: "I've battled hard to get back on top"

Manx Cyclist, Mark Cavendish says making Tour de France history meant even more after fighting against depression.

He's won four stages of this year's race - equalling Eddy Merckx's record of 34 Tour stage victories.

Cavendish told Sky Sports News he's battled hard to get himself back to the top of the sport.

"You've got to bounce back and you've got to believe in yourself," he added.

Cavendish could yet surpass Merckx's record, with two more sprints in the final week, ending with the Champs-Elysees finale in Paris, where Cavendish has won a record four times.
