Briton Mark Cavendish took an emotionally inspired victory one day after fellow cyclist Frederiek Nolf died in his sleep at the Tour of Qatar. The Columbia-Highroad rider won the final stage, 121 kilometres to Doha, in a sprint finish over Robert Förster (Milram) and Heinrich Haussler (Cervélo Test Team).

"I dedicate my win to Frederiek and to his family," said Cavendish.

The race ended on a nine-kilometre circuit along the Doha Bay, which the riders completed seven times.

Cavendish's teammates Marcel Sieberg and then Gregory Henderson guided the sprint. They led through the final corner of the hot dog circuit at 1400 metres.

Cavendish lost contact of Henderson's wheel, but he still succeeded with win number two of the Tour of Qatar.

"When the teams tried to jump us in the last corner, everyone kept their cool and kept it together. You can't be more happy than getting delivered to 300 or 250 metres," said Cavendish

Tom Boonen of Team Quick Step finished 10th in the sprint and retained his overall leader's jersey. The Belgian won the race for a career-third time. He dedicated his overall win today to compatriot Nolf.

Cervélo Test Team finished second and third with Heinrich Haussler and Roger Hammond.

A group of six riders made its way clear two kilometres after the race departed from the Sealine Beach at 12:55. The riders to form the move were Claudio Corioni (Liquigas), Servais Knaven (Milram), Gatis Smukulis (AG2R La Mondiale), Marco Bandiera (Lampre-NGC), Chad Beyer (BMC Racing Team), Rhys Pollock (Drapac).

The six riders faced the Tour of Qatar's calmest day since the opening team time trial on Sunday; they had only a light breeze for company. However, their advantage was constantly marked from behind by the sprinters' teams.

The escape had one minute by kilometre 7.5, 4:55 by km25 and 4:30 at the start of the final seven circuits. Katusha and Garmin brought the gap down to 25 seconds with two laps to go.

The sprinters' teams caught the move with 14.5 kilometres remaining. Garmin, Columbia and Ag2R congregated at the front in the final nine kilometres. Despite a brief loss of control, Columbia dominated the last push to the line.

Haussler's third spot in the sprint ensured he kept the blue jersey of best young rider and moved from third to second overall. He also claimed the silver jersey points classification jersey.

Boonen closed the eighth Tour of Qatar with one stage win – stage three – to bring his career-tally to 15.
