Tour of Qatar
Stage 2 : Khalifa Stadium - Al Khor Corniche
The second stage is the first flat stage for the sprinters,such as Eisel,Haedo,Sutton,Van Hummel and Mondory
Only two riders got the chance in a breakaway today but they were caught with more than 15 km to go
With only 10 km to go our sprint train looks good but we are far behind.Bak and Reynes are Eisel´s lead-out men
Bak did a good job in the last few kilometres but our train is still far behind.Ag2r is in front and it seems that they´re too fast
The sprint begins and Eisel has to make his move prompt
Eisel is really fast!!But only a few metres to go and Le Lay is in front of his team-mate Turpin
This is a great double for Ag2r!!!Le Lay wins in front of his team-mate Turpin and Haedo.Another Ag2r rider becomes 4th,Mondory..Eisel is 5th in the end

Challenge Volta Ciclista a Mallorca
Stage 3 : Inca - Inca
Today is the first test for Monfort and many other favorites.It will be hard for the sprinters to manage the mountains
The breakaway couldn´t beat the pack today
It wasn´t really exciting on the mountains,probably Valverde and Co wants to have a mass sprint.Monfort had no problems on the climbs but Greipel could not hold on there
The sprint begins and Garate is in front of Devolder.They will fight for the stage win that´s for sure.Valverde and his team-mates are behind them while Monfort doesn´t sprint
It´s a close finish where Devolder gets the stage win on the last 2 metres in front of Garate and Luis Leon Sanchez.Monfort becomes 58th
Stage results
| 1 | Stijn Devolder | Quick·Step | 4h22'28 | | 2 | Juan Manuel Gárate | Rabobank | s.t. | | 3 | Luis León Sánchez | Caisse d'Epargne | s.t. | | 4 | Alejandro Valverde | Caisse d'Epargne | s.t. | | 5 | Juan José Cobo | Caisse d'Epargne | s.t. | | 6 | Christophe Moreau | Caisse d'Epargne | s.t. | | 7 | Damiano Cunego | Lampre - Farnese Vini | s.t. | | 8 | Chris Horner | Team RadioShack | s.t. | | 9 | Grega Bole | Lampre - Farnese Vini | s.t. | | 10 | David García Da Pena | Xacobeo - Galicia | s.t. | | 11 | Alessandro Petacchi | Lampre - Farnese Vini | s.t. | | 12 | Yaroslav Popovych | Team RadioShack | s.t. | | 13 | Leonardo Duque | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | s.t. | | 14 | Pierrick Fédrigo | Bbox Bouygues Télécom | s.t. | | 15 | Haimar Zubeldia | Team RadioShack | s.t. |

Tour of Qatar
Stage 3 : Al Zubarah - Doha Golf Club
The breakaway was so big today that the pack had problems to catch them
Our train looks fantastic today with Bak at the front and Reynes as Eisel´s lead-out man
And with only 6 km to go Bak follows Sutton and his lead-out man Vigano.This looks really great
Last 4 kilometres and the sprint train of Sky is the fastest but our team could stay in their slipstream
The sprint begins and Eisel makes his move because Sutton is already in front.Van Emden,Van Hummel and Mondory try to follow
Sutton is still in front and it seems that no one can beat him today.Eisel is defending his second place against Mondory
Sutton takes a great stage win for Sky but who´s gonna be second and third?
It´s a very close finish but the photofinish says that Mondory is in front of Eisel!!Bad luck for Eisel but he still gets a few seconds for the overall
Stage results
| 1 | Christopher Sutton | Sky Professional Cycling Team | 3h00'43 | | 2 | Lloyd Mondory | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 3 | Bernhard Eisel | Team HTC - Columbia | s.t. | | 4 | Jos Van Emden | Rabobank | s.t. | | 5 | Kenny Van Hummel | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 6 | Wim Stroetinga | Team Milram | s.t. | | 7 | Fabio Sabatini | Liquigas - Doimo | s.t. | | 8 | Tom Veelers | Skil - Shimano | s.t. | | 9 | Nicolas Sanderson | Amore & Vita - Conad | s.t. | | 10 | Kenny De Haes | Omega Pharma - Lotto | s.t. | | 11 | Juan José Haedo | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | 12 | Marko Kump | Adria Mobil | s.t. | | 13 | Mauro Finetto | Liquigas - Doimo | s.t. | | 14 | Denis Galimzyanov | Team Katusha | s.t. | | 15 | Roberto Ferrari | De Rosa - Stac Plastic | s.t. |

Challenge Volta Ciclista a Mallorca
Stage 4 : Bunyola - Bunyola
This stage is probably the one who will decide this tour!Favorites for the stage win are for example Voigt,Anton,Valverde,Lövkvist or Chavanel and Garate
The breakaway was good today but in the end they had no energy left,so no problem for the pack to catch them
On the last hill Anton and Valverde did the first action after the breakaway was caught
It seems that Valverde is in a great shape so far.He´s attacking once more and I.Anton cannot counter at the moment
Next attacks came from Lövkvist,De La Fuente and Garate
Voigt went after them
On the last downhill Valverde´s advantage is big
Anton is after him but he cannot follow him
And so no one could stop him!!Valverde wins this stage and the leader´s jersey
Anton became second in front of....
......Jose Serpa.Monfort came with the big group 1´54 after Valverde
