Stage 5: Épernay - Montargis, 185 km/116.3mi
By Cathy Mehl

Order has been restored to the universe – Mark Cavendish has won his first stage at the 2010 Tour de France.  Taking much heat and criticism from the press for lack of results in this year’s race, the 25-year old sprinter set things right on Thursday by earning his 11th career Tour stage win.  Unable to hold back his emotions on the podium, Cavendish (HTC-Columbia) was finally able to let go of the tension and enjoy his moment in the sun.  And sunny it was with temperatures soaring into the mid-90’s for much of the day as the race continues to head southeast toward the Alps. 
Second place went to Germany’s Gerald Ciolek (Milram) more than a bike length behind Cavendish.  In third was Edvald Boasson Hagen of Team Sky.  There were no changes on the classification with Fabian Cancellara (Saxo Bank) taking his 21st career yellow jersey.  The Shack’s Lance Armstrong remains the best-placed team rider in 18th place.

Prince Albert of Monaco stops by the Team RadioShack bus to wish the Team well.

About Stage 5

Today's totally a day for the sprinters once again.  With nothing to really break the pack up, everyone will just be waiting to let the day’s escape go down the road, then make the capture 5-10km from the line.  The first hour and the last 30 minutes will be very fast, in between it should be a very tolerable day in the saddle.
