Cavendish outgunned Russian Denis Galimzyanov and Yauheni Hutarovich of Belarus to win the 200km one-day race in Belgium. The HTC-Highroad rider, who also won in 2007 and 2008, said: "I'm racing a lot this season, and I've had some bad luck, so it's good I can get the wins in." The 25-year-old will continue his build-up to the Tour de France in the Paris-Roubaix event, before the Tour of Italy and the Tour de Suisse.
