The 30-year-old sits two wins behind Bernard Hinault but still has some work to do if he is to chase down Eddy Merckx's record of 34.
“I wanted it. I just had this feeling. I was lying in the room with my wife and my daughter yesterday and I just got this feeling, I was relaxed. I knew today was ok,” said Cavendish.
“The team were motivated, you could see that. After we’ve worked so long the last few times, and to keep the faith like that was incredible.”
It was also a fruitful day for Chris Froome who reclaimed the yellow jersey after Tony Martin retired following Thursday's crash.
"It's a huge privilege to be back in yellow but certainly under these circumstances it wasn't ideal."
Andy Murray says he has no complaints after going down in straight sets to Roger Federer 7-5 7-5 6-4 and crashing out of Wimbledon.

Murray and early chance to break in the first game of the match but, after that, there was little sign that he was going to trouble the Swiss' serve.
“It’s almost impossible when he serves so fantastically. I didn't really have any opportunities,” said Murray.
“He served unbelievably. That was the difference, not the fact that he served first. If he served that way, it was always going to be too tough.”
While Andy Murray might not get the chance to lift the famous trophy at SW 19, brother Jamie is hoping for one more win to cement his doubles crown.

Standing in their way are Dutchman Jean-Julien Roger and Romania's Horia Tecau but Murray is hopeful that he and Peers can find form one more time.
“We’re in a Wimbledon final, and it’s been a good couple of weeks. We’ve won five matches and on Saturday all we have got to do is go out there and try to win another,” he said.

Muir will head to China with a fifth-place world ranking and, while she knows a spot in the final Is within her grasp, she is coy about her medal chances.
“I'm confident I can be up there and I should be in that final,” she told the Scottish Herald.
“I just want to get to that final and take it from there. A medal? I've got to be realistic.
