Mark Cavendish sprinted to victory at Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne on Sunday after a dominant Team Sky performance in the one-day road race in Belgium.
The world champion was led out by last year's winner Chris Sutton at the end of the 195-kilometres route, and he finished it off in style by accelerating clear of France's Yauheni Hutarovich (FDJ-BigMat) and Dutchman Kenny van Hummel (Vacansoleil-DCM).
'I didn't really have to do anything,' the 26-year-old from the Isle of Man said. 'The team did everything for me and it was incredible, a super display.
Sprint finish: Mark Cavendish celebrates the victory
'I was ill all day and kept vomiting but I was always kept at the front by the whole team.
'Then when the split went on the Oude-Kwaremont it was perfect as we had three in the front while the other guys stayed with me and we didn't have to do any chasing.
'With 50k left I still didn't feel marvellous but just kept going and was being kept out of trouble all the time.
'They controlled it at the end to deliver me and with 250 metres to go I kicked and that was it.'
It was a first triumph in the Belgian Classic and a third win of the new campaign for Cavendish.
