Yesterday, Thursday May 10, saw an excellent comeback at the Giro d�Italia for Mark Cavendish and Team Sky after a spectacular crash for Cav on the final day in Denmark and a disappointing start to the Italian leg for the squad as a whole. Having endured a grim Team Time Trial in Verona managing only ninth with six riders crossing the line for a time of 37 minutes, 34 seconds, way adrift of Garmin-Barracuda�s winning 37m 4s, yesterday�s Stage 5, 209km from Modena to Fano, was clearly a whole new day, which saw Cav power his way to a finish in 4h 43m 15s to edge out Australia�s Matt Goss into second and Italian Daniele Bennati to third. The victory marked Cavendish�s second Giro stage win of 2012 and an impressive total of 32 Grand Tour stage wins. Lithuanian Ramunas Navardauskas of Garmin-Barracuda retains the leader�s jersey with an overall time of 14h 45m 13s.
