Garmin commands opening time trial to put Wiggins in gold
By Gregor Brown in Doha, Qatar
|
Team Garmin-Chipotle's careful planning for the Tour of Qatar's opening team time trial paid off well with a victory and the first leader's gold jersey to Olympic Gold Medalist Bradley Wiggins. The American team finished the six-kilometre hot-dog circuit in Doha with a time of 6:34.92.
"We made some real good preparation in Girona [Spain] last for this," said general classification leader Wiggins. "We wanted to put some details into it, even though we did not have the super big-guns here – Dave Z[abriske], [David] Millar, [Christian] Vande Velde and all those guys – but we still wanted to keep up the reputation that we are a good team time trial squad."
Garmin's early tactics paid off. It used Dutchman Ricardo Van Der Velde to burn up the 1,500-metre front straight. The remaining seven men took over on the back three-kilometre straight. It fought the presence of a slight headwind along Al Corniche waterfront.
Garmin used up its final men on the 1,500-metre stretch back to the finish line. Wiggins led Hans Dekkers, Kilian Patour, Michael Friedman and Huub Duyn over the line. Duyn of took the blue jersey for best young rider. Organisers did not award the points jersey on the first stage.

Quick Step placed Boonen in a perfect spot to take over the gold leader's jersey by tomorrow evening. The 134-kilometre stage two to Al Khor Corniche starts the first of five days designed for sprint finishes. There are bonus seconds at the intermediate sprints – 3, 2 and 1 – and at the stage finishes – 10, 6 and 4.
Rabobank finished fourth and Team Liquigas fifth. Briton Mark Cavendish will likely not concern himself with the final overall classification since Team Columbia-High Road finished five seconds back. He will focus on getting a sprint victory in coming stages.
Belgian Tom Boonen won the overall title last year and in 2006. He holds the record for stage wins – 14 – in the eight-year history of the race.
