Pink jersey winner Cavendish turns the air blue

The Omega Pharma-Quick Step rider came from far back to pip Italian Elia Viviani (Cannondale) and Frenchman Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ) in an explosive bunch sprint in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.

But when asked for his post-race reaction by Eurosport, Cav appeared to struggle with some hardware before uttering an expletive.

Ever the gent, Cav quickly realised his mistake and turned to the cameras to say: "Is this live? Oh, sorry! Apologies."

Don't worry, we forgive you...
