Cavendish proud of his 2016 season after final road win at the Abu Dhabi Tour

Mark Cavendish was upbeat and happy after ending his road racing season with a tenth and final victory on the last stage of the Abu Dhabi Tour. He will ride the London Six this week and then the Gent Six, both with Bradley Wiggins, before he can finally enjoy a vacation but Cavendish revealed he was able to produce his rare double-kick sprint on the Yas Marina motor racing circuit and so win at speed ahead of Giacomo Nizzolo (Trek-Segafredo) and Elia Viviani (Team Sky).
