Mark Cavendish of Team Columbia delivered in the first head-to-head showdown with Tom Boonen of 2009. The Briton fought strong winds to claim Tour of Qatar stage four over Heinrich Haussler, Boonen and Filippo Pozzato in Qatar's northern city of Madinat Al Shamal.

"With gale-force winds at over 60 kilometres an hour I can't sail from the Isle of Man to England, yet I raced in a 70-kilometre wind today," said Cavendish.

Despite the crosswinds, Cavendish's Team Columbia-High Road closed on the lead group in the final five kilometres of the 141-kilometre stage from Doha. A left turn at 2200 metres remaining set up the riders for a sprint showdown.

Cavendish fought for space on the right-hand side of the road with Team Quick Step's Boonen to his left. Team Cervélo's Haussler benefited from the rivalry to get second.

"It went well in the sprint; I passed him. I could've closed the door but I left it open five centimetres too much. He passed me and we touched handlebars," Boonen said.

Cavendish's win marks the third time a Briton has topped the day in the 8th Tour of Qatar. Bradley Wiggins won the overall leader's golden jersey on day one with a win by his Garmin-Slipstream team in the opening time trial and Roger Hammond (Cervélo Test Team) escaped an elite group in stage two to claim the victory and the overall lead.

Boonen remains in the leader's jersey thanks to his consistency and win in yesterday's stage three. He leads in what is a three-way fight over two Cervélo riders: Hammond at 10 seconds and Haussler at 12 seconds back.

An early escape marked the day after several smaller groups tried. Gatis Smukulis (AG2R La Mondiale) led a group of seven free at kilometre 38. The other riders were Dominik Roels (Milram), Michael Barry (Columbia-High Road), Maarten Tjallingii (Rabobank), Rhys Pollock (Drapac), Abdelbaset Hannachi (Doha) and David Deroo (Skil-Shimano).

The seven fought a strong crosswind from the left. They gained 3:00 at kilometre 50 with Cervélo and Quick Step in control behind.

The riders hit a wall of wind when the route turned left at kilometre 81. The escape had 5:40 at 72km and 1:00 at 113km. The gap dropped quickly soon after and the break was caught at 22 kilometres remaining.

A right-hand turn at kilometre 112 signaled the finale and split the peloton. Winds off the sea, on the rider's left, forced the riders into several smaller echelon formations.

Cervélo dominated the front group with key sprinter Boonen for company. Cavendish remained calm in the second echelon with his Columbia teammates working.

Many riders were forced off the road in the fight for space throughout the day. In the final 25 kilometres, Vicente Reynes (Columbia-High Road) and Murilo Fischer (Liquigas) lost control when edged onto the rocky shoulder. They both finished the race, but doctors took the latter to the hospital for further examination.

Stage five of the six-stage Tour of Qatar, February 1 to 6, promises more sprint battles. The riders will ride 147.5 kilometres from Al Shahaniyah to Doha.
