Cav 2... Greipel 1

The Max-missile got his revenge on former team-mate Andre Greipel yesterday when Mark Renshaw delivered him perfectly to an easy victory. The previous stage saw Greipel pip Cavendish on the line after HTC lacked bodies to assist their Manx-man which saw Greipel get the jump on Cav taking victory on Stage 10.

But just 24 hours later he had his revenge in Lavaur. That made it 3 wins in this year's tour and what made it more special was the capture of the Green Jersey. That's the last sprint stage before the riders head into the Pyrenees.

It's survival for Cavendish now until Stage 15 where he will be licking his lips once more in hope of a 4 stage win. Tommy Voeckler will try to hang onto his lead in the race but will be unlikely. Tomorrow could see attacks from Alberto Contador who finds himself just under 2 minutes down on his main rivals. Game on for GC contenders as the Col du Tourmalet beckons.
