It's the start of the Tour de France today (Saturday), and Mark Cavendish is in bullish mood.
The 'Manx Missile', who has won 15 stages over the last three years, insists he is in good shape to win the green points jersey.
Although he claimed five stage victories last year, the Isle of Man rider missed out on the coveted sprinters' title by eleven points.
However, he says his preparations have been ideal this time around:
FC Isle of Man seeking league boost against Longridge Town
Ravens currently on three-match losing run in NWCFL Premier Division
Hockey: Mixed cup semi-finals take centre stage
Shot at silverware in a few weeks' time up for grabs
Football: Wayne Brown appointed IoM Women's Team Manager
He succeeds Wayne Lisy who stood down in August
Rugby: Douglas to renew old rivalries at Manchester
Both Vagabonds sides also on the road this weekend
