Hat-trick of wins for superb Cavendish in Qatar

Mark Cavendish is in unstoppable form at the Tour of Qatar.

The Manx Missile made it three sprint wins in three days to extend his overall lead in the general classification.

Cav also won the intermediate sprint early in the stage.

Unlike his two previous victories, Omega Pharma/QuickStep provided a perfect leadout train and delivered Cavendish with 250 metres left to the line.

Cavendish held off a strong challenge from Yauheni Hutarovich to win by a wheel.

Cav takes a 15 second lead over American Brent Bookwalter in to tomorrow's final stage.
