Mark Cavendish claims first his victory of 2012 in Qatar earlier today.

Mark Cavendish claimed his first victory of 2012 during stage three of the Tour of Qatar earlier today.

The 26-year-old entered the home stretch with Belgium's Tom Boonen, whom he managed to out-sprint with time to spare.

"You never get the season going until you get the first win under your belt," said Cavendish.

"Hopefully I can get on a roll now and win some things."

Cavendish is currently in his first season with Team Sky.
