> mount -p | sed -nr '2s/([^ ].*) +\S+ +\S+/\1/p'

For readability, what about something like:

$ mount -m | sed -ne 's/.*cygdrive[^"]*"\([^"]*\)"$/\1/p'

This is tolerant of spaces, and works even if other mountpoints
include the phrase cygdrive, since mount -m outputs
--change-cygdrive-prefix outside of quotes but directories in
quotes, and relies on the fact that the mountpoint won't have
an embedded " (thanks to Windows)...
