Mark Cavendish on the sprint finish: “I was waiting for someone, I thought someone would jump early, so I looked before I kicked off Renshaw’s wheel and we had a gap. It was a headwind so ideally I would have gone a bit later, but I saw we had a gap from Renshaw, and if I left it any longer maybe they’d get the run-up on me from the slipstream, so I had to go early to make sure I still had a gap so they couldn’t use me as a slingshot, and so I just had a look round to see if I’d held it all before the line.” | share this photo |

Mark Cavendish on the overall victory: “I’m super-happy, obviously. Obviously it’s nice to win, but winning isn’t new. What makes this super special is the fact that Etixx - Quick-Step just rode from the beginning of the race on Wednesday until the finish of the race here today. Our team wanted to control. We had no help but the majority was left to us and the lads rode out of their skin for four days. Yesterday it wasn’t necessarily for me, it wasn’t a stage that really suited me, but we honoured the jersey, we rode, and the lads stayed around me and delivered me as best as possible and more than I could have hoped for. They kept me within distance of winning this Dubai Tour overall. We wanted it back. The lads rode with fire in their eyes today. That was a phenomenal display the whole day, not just the lead-out. To be fair, I didn’t really do anything, so I’m incredibly grateful to the lads for this win. I think, yeah, they deserve this jersey more than me.” | share this photo |

Mark Cavendish: “I don’t have too many trophies out and about in my houses. I have photos of the family, more than anything. But this is a special one, it’s a beautiful trophy designed by Pininfarina, and it’s a special win. I don’t know. It’ll probably go… We have a little museum in Service Course [in Wevelgem]. I’ll give it to them because it was the team that won here, it wasn’t me.” | share this photo |
