Mark Cavendish (Etixx-QuickStep) continued his winning start to the 2015 season by taking the bunch sprint at the end of the Clasica de Almeria on Sunday - his first European win of the year.
Cavendish won the 183.3-kilometre UCI 1.1-ranked Spanish race ahead of Juan Jose Lobato (Movistar) and his own key lead-out man Mark Renshaw (Etixx-QuickStep). Cavendish had enough of a clear lead over the line to take the time to raise his hands in celebration.
