Four for Cavendish. Any more?

Mark Cavendish won Stage 13 of the Tour De France on Friday, which gives him four stage victories in this year alone. Cavendish also won Stage 12 the day before. The Team Columbia rider beat out Australian rider Robbie McEwen by two bike lengths, while French rider Romain Feillu finished in third place.

After the 113-mile-race from Narbonne to Nimes, Cavendish said, "The first stage win was my favorite; today's was the hardest. Every win's a win."

Cadel Evans will keep the yellow jersey for another stage of the Tour De France.

Overall results after Stage 13:

1. Cadel Evans (54:48:47)
2. Frank Schleck (1 second behind Evans)
3. Christian Vandevelde (38 seconds behind Evans)
4. Bernhard Kohl (46 seconds behind Evans)
5. Denis Menchov (57 seconds behind Evans)
