Mark Cavendish came across the finish line victorious in the second Dubai Tour on Saturday.
The Isle of Man cycling star, riding with Team Etixx-Quick Step, won the blue jersey as the overall leader of the race and the red as the points classification leader.

Cavendish's final race time across four stages was 15hr 22min 38sec.
"I'm over the moon,” Cavendish told reporters. "I had a bit of fire in my belly to get there today.
"I'm super-happy with how the lads rode all week, and to win here, it's pretty special.
"It wasn't just a pan-flat sprinters' race. We really had to work. I'm glad we could get the win.”
The intermediate sprint classification, and its UAE-flag inspired jersey, was won by Italian Alessandro Bazzana, who finished sixth overall for United Healthcare Pro Cycling.
The best young rider white jersey was won by Tinkoff-Saxo's Michael Valgren Andersen, who finished 15th.
