I think Chicchi's sprint was very impressive considering he was forced to close quite a large gap towards the end (5:12 in the video above) when a Cervelo rider pulled off and blocked him. |

What block?
I just watched the sprint on Eurosport.. All I can see is Theo Bos leading out (for Haussler, who wasn't there...) and then he pulled of to the right and Chicchi had all space and time on the left and easily won?

Excellent stuff form QS to bring Boonen back and from Boonen to catch Bos (who looked very strong) and keep the rest behind.

Greipel wins the Trofeo Magaluf Palmanova. I believe that was the last one in Mallorca. |

I'm putting this out there, Hagen would have won today if Boonen didn't swing over a block his line.

Veikannen wins in France today, after the break was caugth in the final km.
It wasn't a normal sprint though; the Vacansoleil site says, Hoogerland has a train with Sergey Lagutin, Martin Mortensen and Michal Golas in front of him, but the where directed into the sideway for the DS cars by the police, taking a groupe of riders with them, leaving the victory up for grabs...
Also, Hoogerland want to make it to the podium in this race. |

Bos went too early. He should wait longer, because his acceleration is great.
Wouter Mol still in the lead. Good ride by him today  It would be a nice victory for him if he keeps the leaders jersey tomorrow.

Bos still has to improve (skill and strenght), but he's definatly shown he has the potential to become a world class sprinter on the road as well.
Plus, I like his 'revolutionairy' idea of sprinting while staying seated.
Now we'll have to wait to see a Cervelo train beng set up for him, which is why he left Rabobank to begin with. |

Kristof Goddaert seems to have a curse on him during the Tour of Qatar. Last year his roommate Nolf died.  Today he was hit by the Liquigas car after a crash. He was rushed to the hospital but he doesn't seem to have any serious injuries.

I like the detail of the stage ending fifty meters before a lake.
What's the idea here? In a place full of straight roads and deserts, they place 2 stages finishes within the proximities of a roundabout and a lake.
Remarkable

I hope he's ok
and nice try by bos just too early.
The announcer from the english version of the tour of Qatar stage 4 said that Chicchi is 1 of the most explosive riders every but i'm not sure if i agree with that. I really haven't seen too many sprints by chichi but the ones I have he doesn't seem that explosive.
