Cavendish wins Tour of Qatar

by isleofman.com 8th February 2013

Mark Cavendish has won the Tour of Qatar.

He made sure of the title by winning the final stage in another bunch sprint - his fourth victory in four days.

The Manx Missile had looked isolated inside the final kilometre as Astana and Sky took control of the peloton, but he came through on the right-hand side to time his sprint perfectly.

Cavendish won the event by a margin of 25 seconds over American Brent Bookwalter.

It's his second overall general classification triumph after he took the honours last season in the Ster ZLM Toer in Holland.

Cav has made a phenomenal start to the 2013 season with new team Omega Pharma-Quick-Step.

He has already won six times this year and has 95 career victories since turning professional in 2007.
