Mark Cavendish takes time out on Valentine's Day to help London cyclist fix a puncture

Fresh off his win at the Tour of Qatar, Mark Cavendish showed that a little silverware hasn't gone to his head, stopping to help a cyclist in London fix a puncture.

According to tweeter Zahra Damji, Cavendish was in Tottenham Hale when he helped Fran Cutts replace an inner tube in the cold weather on Sunday.

According to Ms Cutts' reply to the tweet, Cavendish struggled to get the tyre on with cold hands and even offered her a lift home.

Cavendish is back in England after his stage race victory in Qatar, where he triumphed by five seconds over Katusha's Alexander Kristoff, who won three of the five stages.

The Manxman's next big race is Milan-San Remo on March 19 - a race Cavendish won with HTC back in 2009.

He could still take part in the World Track Championships in March, saying he would decide on his participation while in Qatar.
