Stage 2 - January 31: Camel Race Track - Al Khor Corniche, 138 km
Three out of three
|
Tom Boonen maintained his perfect record in races this season, notching his third win of 2006 in the second stage of the Tour of Qatar. At the end of the 138 km stage, the Belgian beat Italian Paride Grillo (Panaria) and German Erik Zabel (Milram) in a bunch sprint. He now leads Zabel on the general classification by 10 seconds, with three stages to come.
"Today it wasn't our intention to win at any cost," said Boonen. "However, the race situation put us in a position to try the sprint, and in the end, everything went well."
Third placed Erik Zabel commented, "I feel very good and I think is important to be in front and fight for the victory. My teammates did a very good job today and I hope to win a stage before the end of the race."
How it unfolded
|
133 riders started under overcast skies at the Camel Race Track, to the northwest of Doha. The wind was again blowing strongly, and the riders were more watchful after many were caught out in yesterday's splits. The first attack came from Gilles Canouet (Agritubel ), and the reaction saw the peloton split into three after 15 km. Although the GC leaders were all in front, the peloton regrouped after a few kilometres. During this time, Michiel Elijzen (Cofidis) crashed and abandoned.
Pieter Ghyllebert (Chocolade Jacques) managed to get away solo, and built up a lead of over three minutes after 50 km, increasing it to 8'00 at the first sprint at Al Jernaliya (km 61), where Aurélien Clerc (Phonak) and Matti Breschel (CSC) took second and third. At the next sprint at Al Ghumariya (km 88), Ghyllebert enjoyed a massive 14'20 lead, and with just 50 km to go, he was in with a great chance of victory. Clerc again took second in the sprint, ahead of Kenny Van Hummel (Skil-Shimano).
|
The wind switched around to a tailwind, and this surprisingly helped the peloton more than the tiring Ghyllebert. Another crash took out Tom Stubbe (Chocolade Jacques) and Tiziano Dall’Antonia (Panaria), as the bunch picked up speed, led by Quick.Step-Innergetic. With 25 km to go, Ghyllebert's advantage had been halved, and eventually he was caught with under four kilometres to go.
The Quick.Step and Shil-Shimano teams led out the sprint, before Fabian Cancellara (CSC) took over for his teammate O'Grady. In the end, Boonen was far too strong for the rest, leaving Grillo and Zabel with the minor placings.
