Boonen best of the bunch
 |
Tom Boonen scored his fifth victory as a professional and Quick.Step-Davitamon's first of the season as he powered his way to a bunch sprint win in the second stage of the Tour of Qatar. Boonen beat Jean-Patrick Nazon and Francesco Chicchi in another day of vicious crosswinds which proved fatal to stage 1 winner Francisco Ventoso, and took over the race lead and each individual competition as a result.
"This is a big day for me and I'm very happy," Boonen said after his win. "The team showed once again that it's very strong. We still have to be careful because there are three stages to go. Plus, the wind is a variable that you can't ignore."
It may be early season racing but there was no lack of aggression in the peloton, as the high speeds and attacks came within the opening kilometres of the 151km stage. The peloton was quickly broken into four groups as a number of riders found that a slow fitness buildup would not make for easy racing under the Qatar sun. After McEwen took the first intermediate sprint in Al Jemailiya, the leaders were all together but several groups were suffering behind in the wind. The notable absentee was Ventoso, and noticing this, Quick.Step-Davitamon went to the front to push the pace and keep the Spanish neo-pro from coming back.
Attacks still went clear up front, and after a hundred kilometres of racing a group of 12 had detached itself from the first peloton. In the group were McEwen, Nazon, and Boonen, eager to contest the stage in a sprint but happy to have narrowed the competition. As Rabobank led the chase from behind, Nazon's Ag2r teammate Christophe Agnolutto attacked from the lead 12 and opened a gap, eventually passing through the second sprint alone, building a maximum lead of a minute and a half.
It was a valiant effort, but as the remainder of the break was swept up by the field, the combined chase of Rabobank, Quick.Step and Lotto-Domo was too much for the lone Frenchman. Into the finishing straight, it was Boonen who pushed his way clear of the rest, taking the sprint ahead of Nazon and 2002 under 23 world champion Chicchi.
