KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Mark Cavendish broke from a large pack of riders with just over 200 meters left to win the first stage of the Tour of Missouri on Monday.
Cavendish, of Great Britain, stayed with the main pack with his Columbia teammates before bursting down the last straightaway on the 90-mile stage from St. Joseph to Kansas City.
A sprint specialist, Cavendish is a four-time stage winner in the Tour de France and won three stages in last week's Tour of Ireland.
American rider Tyler Farrar of Garmin/Chipotle finished second and Italian Francesco Chicchi of Liquigas finished third.
The 623-mile race resumes Tuesday for a 125-mile stage from Clinton to Springfield, and concludes Sunday in St. Louis.
