Mark Cavendish is the 2011 Professional World Road Race Champion

Top step for Mark Cavendish in Copengagen who today became the UCI 2011 Professional World Road Race Champion. This was following an amazing race long team effort when super Cav delivered on the line after 266km for GB. Our team riders sure held their collective nerve - phew :) Tom Simpson was Britain's last professional RR champion back in 1965. This day is a big one for Mark Cavendish and for British cycling in general.
