First win of season for Cavendish

Mark Cavendish took his victory for Sky and as world champion in Qatar today. On a typically windy day on the Qatar peninsula the peloton was split into many small groups. Many of the top sprinters managed to make the lead group and it was race leader Tom Boonen who lead out the sprint. He had though gone too early considering the strong headwind and Cavendish was able to nip past to take the win. Adam Blythe also made the lead split and finished in 11th place.



Result
1. Mark Cavendish - Sky
2. Tom Boonen - Omega Pharma-Quick Step
3. Aidis Kruopis - Greenedge
