Manx superstar Mark Cavendish completed stage 14 of the Tour de France on Saturday.
He finished just under three and a half minutes behind the winner in 108th place.
The stage was won by the Spaniard Oscar Freire who leads the Tour's sprint standings in which Cavendish slipped from second to fourth.
Australian Cadel Evans kept the leader's yellow jersey.
The event heads into the Alps on Sunday and Cavendish could pull out of the Tour, with one eye on next month’s Olympics in Beijing.
