Brand and Cav in Abu Dhabi

Five-day tour starts on Wednesday

Mark Cavendish continues his Middle Eastern adventure this week.

He's in the Team Dimension Data line-up for the Abu Dhabi Tour, having competed in the Tour of Oman last week and the Tour of Dubai the week before that.

There's further Manx interest in the shape of Sam Brand, who's in the Team Novo Nordisk line-up.

The five-stage event runs from Wednesday until Sunday.
