Mark Cavendish was the quickest within the bunch dash, successful stage 2 in Kazincbarcika on the Tour de Hongrie. Astana Qazaqstan delivered Cavendish into the ultimate 200 metres with a textbook lead-out and the Manxman launched his dash to take the win, holding off runner-up Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco AlUla) and third-placed Jon Aberasturi (Euskaltel-Euskadi).
“I’m actually proud of it,” Cavendish mentioned following the stage end. “Yesterday, we did not fairly hit the lead-out correctly. It was tremendous good, and everybody dedicated 100% yesterday, however we have been only a bit keen and a bit too quickly.
