Mark Cavendish made cycling history this afternoon by becoming the first British rider to win a points jersey in the Tour De France.
Cavendish took the win on the Champs Elysees and the forty five sprint points which confirmed not only his third consecutive victory at the finish of the world's greatest cycle race but the green jersey as well.
"I finally got it, but it didn't come easy," Cavendish said to the HTC Press Office. "I really had to fight for it all the way to the last finish line and I'm very tired, but it was worth all that effort.
"I had eight fantastic team-mates around me all the way, they kept working with me, I was close to getting it for the last two years and now it's finally here.
"I'm so happy, it's incredible. It's a great way to finish the Tour and a super, super emotional day."
