Manx cycling star Mark Cavendish has a good chance of being involved in a sprint finish in the next two stages of the Tour de France.
He finished 130th today after a tough stage in the Pyrenees.
But before the Alps there are two flatter stages, which could favour the sprinters.
The Isle of Man is not alone in being excited about the success of Cav - the French newspapers have also taken to the 'Manx Express'.
Steve Porter is in France cheering him on:
