Cav Gifts Giro d'Italia stage to Greipel | Latest News | Cycling Weekly
Mark Cavendish (High Road) could have won his third stage in the Giro d’Italia in Locarno on Wednesday but generously decided to let team mate Andre Greipel win instead.
High Road lead out the sprint perfectly in the final kilometres and Greipel lead the
peloton round the final corner and then opened up his sprint. Cavendish was tucked on his wheel and could have accelerated past him but instead he looked round to control Daniele Bennati (Liquigas) several time and then gradually eased so that Greipel could win.

Greipel refused to accept that Cavendish had sat up to let him win.
