Statement from the winner, Mark Cavendish

Speaking seconds after the finish, a victorious Mark Cavendish said: “I’m particularly happy. This is the perfect team for a one-day race. We never panicked. My team-mates did a solid race for me here. You see, this is just incredible the way they’ve led me out. I like to win any race. I’ve already won Milan-Sanremo. So now I have won Milano – Torino as well. It’s not always a race for sprinters so I’m happy to have my name on the same record book as some great climbers! I’m super happy.”
