Stage 5 - February 4: Sealine Beach Resort - Doha (Corniche), 144 km
Loddo hangs on by skin of his teeth
Knaven takes Qatar finale
 |
Alberto Loddo (Lampre) has taken the overall victory in the 2nd Tour of Qatar by the narrowest of margins, finishing on the same time as German Olaf Pollack (Gerolsteiner) but winning on a countback. Pollack finished second in today's final stage behind Quick Step's Servais Knaven, and also managed to put 17 seconds into Loddo, who finished eighth. However the German needed another solitary second's advantage to put himself in the top GC position.
The final stage between Sealine Beach Resort and Doha started in sunny conditions with 112 riders. With an accompanying tailwind and Lampre eager to protect Loddo's lead, the tempo was high from the start. An 11 man group split off the front containing race leader Loddo, his teammate Svorada, as well as Knaven and Cretskens (Quick Step), Sandstød, Michaelsen and Jalabert (CSC), Da Cruz (FDJ), Rund (Coast), Verbrugghe (Lotto), and Apollonio (Sidermec).
This caused some consternation behind, and 16 riders joined them from the fragmenting peloton. The new riders included Calcagni (Sidermec), Nazon (BLB), Strazzer (Phonak), Pollack (Gerolsteiner), Clerc (Quick Step) and Van Hyfte and Dean (CSC). The remainder of the bunch stopped chasing, and eventually came in 25 minutes down.
Julian Dean won the first sprint at Al Wakra (km 42) followed by Loddo and Pollack. The second sprint at km 85 was taken by Loddo in front of Nazon and Clerc. Loddo wanted to ensure that Nazon didn't get closer than 6 seconds, but as it turned out he needed all of his bonus to hold off Pollack.

Following the second sprint, there were several attacks from within the 27 man leading group. CSC had superior numbers and tried to launch Paul Van Hyfte off the front on several occasions, without success. With 5 km to go, a group containing Knaven, Verbrugghe, Michaelsen, Svorada, Pollack, Calcagni and Bertolini got clear, and quickly established a lead over the now isolated Loddo. However the young Italian did not give up and worked hard to limit the gap.
Knaven attacked in the last 1.5 km to win the stage, with Pollack crossing for second, two seconds behind the Dutchman. "This victory is important for me and for the team," said Knaven. "Since the beginning of the season we've been tormented by bad luck. Now I hope that the things have changed. I want to dedicate this win to my family, especially my recently born daughter Senne."
Loddo finished at the head of the next bunch in eighth place, and therefore did enough to keep the leader's jersey, the points jersey and the best young rider jersey. It was an impressive start for Lampre, adding to their three stages in Langkawi recently.
