Mark Cavendish (OPQS) continued his supremacy at 2013 Tour of Qatar by completing his hat trick of wins. The 154 km long stage 5 from Al Zubara Fort to Madinat Al Shamal was animated by Taylor Phinney (BMC) and Bernie Eisel (SKY) when they tried to break away after the final intermediate sprint at 127.5 km. But they were soon reigned in by Omega Pharma Quick Step riders who were dedicated to deliver the race leader in prime position for the sprint. Yauheni Hutarovich (ALM) came very close to ruining the party but Cavendish had enough firepower to keep the Belarusian at bay. Aidis Kruopis (OGE) took another third place for his team.
