The final stage of the Tour of Qatar, and it's basically a 2 horse race - Haedo versus Hushovd, CT vs. Pt.

Well, after a 10 man break goes and gets caught, we're going to a sprint!

The riders position themselves, but it's a mixed bag in the middle as the sprint begins



Petacchi seems a bit timid today - he sits out the sprint



Napolitano leads with 2km to go, but Hushovd is breathing down his neck



And Hushovd wins! He secures the overall and the points jersey
