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.
