Cav Opens Team Sky Account

by isleofman.com 7th February 2012

It hasn't taken Mark Cavendish long to record his first win with Team Sky.

The Manx Missile crossed to line first in a sprint finish to claim Stage 3 of the Tour of Qatar.

He beat race leader Tom Boonen and former lead-out man at HTC Highroad Mark Renshaw to claim the honours.

And all this while not feeling at his best after being taken ill before the event.

Today's victory moves Cav up to third in the overall race classification and second in the Points standings for sprinters.

It was his 75th career win since turning professional in 2007.
