Al Ghanim is a great Qatari cyclist, great result for him! And of course a nice prologue win from Kritskiy.

Nice job for Al Ghamin.
And tx I can now see the jersey. Krisa has done a great job!
I've selected one of his jersey for the TOTC4 too.

POOR BOY AL SULIMANI.
Al Sulimani crashed heavily on stage 5. Losing his top15 place as a result. Was he injured? Was he ever, he finished among the bottom 10 riders on the stage and we withdrew him on the final mountain stage (stage 6). We hope he can recover in time for April where he aims to lead us in the Ardennes and GP London race.
STAGE 6: San Benedetto del Tronto - San Giacomo 89 KM's
'The last 50 kilometres were up narrow and mountainous roads, the only respite being a descent between the two large mountains which dominated the stage.
Moyano and Nibali were in the successful two man break. The Argentinean surprised many to beat the Italian in his home country. The day through up many strange surprises, Uran lost the GC lead to a super strong Gautier, whilst failing to distance teammate Boom. Our best ride came from Japanese man, Kishi.

STAGE 7: San Benedetto del Tronto - San Benedetto del Tronto 124 KM's
'The final stage was a great exciting end to this race, in all honesty we are thrilled to see the back of the Tirreno although the performance of Yousef Al Ghanim and Al Sulimani (until he got injured) was superb.'
' Van Overberghe represented us in the break, at least he is much more mellow after causing rows in the early season, he was joined by a quality bunch including Ibai Salas. Towards the finish a strong group rode across from the peloton to the break, including double stage winner Boasson Hagen. A scant consolation for us, is that, Impey finished second in the bunch sprint.

All eyes are on two men for the upcoming Milan - San Remo race. Felline and Puccio.
Felline:
Puccio:
Fabio Felline, can he win 4 Milan San Remo? Many attribute his success in the race down to....me, Frederic Aurel. I am flattered! But it is true I have coached him through all 3 of his successes in the prestigious race (including 2 for Qatar Optics). Now he is riding without my guidance I don't doubt he will be vying for victory.
Many are saying his closest rival is Puccio. Puccio spent the 2020 reason riding for Indian team, Kaai Kari, and was dogged by injury, but many people fancy him to win his 'home classic'.
We at Qatar Optics bring C.S.Long as our leader, the Hong Kong rider has marked this race as one of his season goals. But if this plan fails we also have Cartillo, Bole and Yildiz to fall back on...
@ duxili - You're welcome.
@ Shonak - Great use of the word 'forge'.
@ MrUFo87 - It was never going to match our 2020 PN achievements but they ain't half bad.
@ Atlantius - Yeah, hopefully this motivates others in Qatar to get to them off their camels and to EXPENSIVE CYCLING CENTERS WE BUILT!!!!
@ Ian Butler - Hooray!!!

@The Rider: No native speaker so no idea what's the exact word for it. :/
Bad crash by Al Sulimani.

RACE: Milano - San Remo 299 KM's
Race Favourites:
***Felline(FAR) **Puccio(RAB) *Lander(RAB)
Could Felline win his fourth?....
Our Qatari champ, Al Muwalid attacks early on.
It was super to see the our Qatari champ try to get into the break. He would not make the break today which establishes with 100 kilometres to go.
65 kilometres to go, the break are really starting to suffer as the first attacks come from the big names in the peloton.
Slovenian champ Kump , Trentin (not Felline) and Degenkolb attack...... but are brought back with 50 kilometres to go.
C.S.Long was leading us here..... he attacked with Degenkolb with 47 kilometres to go....
But he wasn't feeling great today. The late attackers and the original break are caught with 30 kilometres to go and a large group of big favourites will tackle the Cipressa today....
On the flat seafront between the Cipressa and the Poggio the BIG GUNS FIRE!
Lander, Salomein, Roux, Puccio and Felline attack out of the peloton. C.S.Long can't go with this one. Puccio attacks the others.....only Felline can go with him.
Felline then counter attacks Puccio and has '10 over Puccio as we hit the Poggio!
IT IS SOME SPECTATLE UP THE POGGIO!
Felline has '13 over Puccio but the gap does not grow out more. On the longer stretches Puccio has Felline is his sights.....Everyone else in the race is well out of contention. Out Andorran rider, Cartillo, is towards the head of the peloton looking for a decent result to salvage this race for us.
At the top of the Poggio, Felline still has '13.
On the earliest part of the descent with 7 KM to go Puccio makes up time.....
Felline recognises the danger so he goes in to full daredevil mode......Felline, once again, increases the gap to Puccio. The tactic looks to be paying off for Felline as Puccio can't match the 3 times winner of Milan San Remo........
Scratch that! Now *4 times winner of Milan San Remo!
Felline wins his fourth Milan San Remo after winning a tense duel with Puccio.
Much much later.....
In a quality group Cartillo manages to finish towards the front and gets a respectable 9th place. Cartillo had some differences with Felline last season so he may well be jealous about today's result, although Cartillo was not targeting this race, 9th is a great result for him as he builds for Flanders/Roubaix.
It never looked likely that we would win here today after winning here in 2019/2020 with Felline but, as he is a former rider, we are glad he takes the win. I even congratulated him after the stage, we really do get on like a house on fire.
ALL TIME MILAN - SAN REMO RESULTS:

Part: 2/2
Having heard nothing from Duvel, despite them having main sponsor privileges of the team for the 2022 season, I burst into their offices in Ghent looking for answers regarding my contract.
In short. The news was deflating. A shot to the leg could not have stunned me so. For they do not wish to have me as DS of Duvel - Qatar Optics in 2022.... well they do, but only if two others refuse the offer as I am third in the pecking order.
The news gets worse. The two 'candidates' Duvel would prefer for D.S are involved with the current Qatar Optics set up. They are.. Tom Boonen (who currently rides for us) and Sven Nys (who currently manages Qatar Optics Continental)
........
@ Shonak - You fooled me!
@ Sutty - Thanks.
@ duxili - It is a bit of both!

Felline and MSR, what a love story.
Duvel must be idiots for not renewing the contract. Granted, Tom Boonen would be big publicity as well as Sven Nys, but what qualifies them to lead a team? You have brought success the team, you've built up. And now they are about to take it from you. What a bunch of corporate idiots.

Agreed.
There mantra was that they wanted ' a big time ex professional at the head of the team'. So Nys and Boonen fill that criteria. No contract has been signed yet though.
Felline has a chance of catching Merckx! |

Hopefully Boonen and Nys will know that the place at the end of the table is not theirs to take...

The title let us some hope though.
Great Top 10 for Duvel and we now all know how you did to win MSR

With our team this is exactly the type of race we dreaded. However, this race is in it's last year of being compulsive for WT teams. With a depleted sprint line up we may be able to do something in the sprints.

Part 1/2:
After the announcement from the offices of Duvel I went to contact Boonen and Nys on whether or not they would accept the position as D.S. As Boonen was with me and the squad for the cobbled races I started with him.
I was relieved to hear..... that he wasn't even remotely interested in the position. He said ' after this season I am going to take a long break from cycling, also I don't like the way Duvel have handled the whole situation'. Great news there so now only Nys stands between me and the D.S of Duvel - Qatar Optics next season. Good news to have ahead of the Belgian campaign and some 'downtime' at my home in Antwerp.
@ Krisa - It is 2021, so they have had plenty of time to move some people to Ghent.
@ sutty - Shame, he doesn't have a sprint whatsoever.
@ duxili - It depends on what Nys says now!
@ Atlantius - Only one person stands in the way now! |

Some nice sprints place for Impey.
I am sure that if Nys is interested he can be invovlved in an unfortunate accident before the season end

The fact that a rider wins this Vuelta a Catalunya after holding the lead from a successful breakaway in stage 1 really does take the biscuit. This race really has lost its lustre in recent years and I feel it is a great move to remove it from the WT from next year on. Impey scores us a handful of WT points here, every point counts.
Part 2/2:
Bizarrely only recently I found that our continental team will be racing at the upcoming Criterium International race. As we are racing there to I think this is the perfect opportunity to ask if Nys if he is interested in the DS position at Duvel - Qatar Optics next season. I have called him a few times in the last few days but he seems to be avoiding direct questions with me........

RACE: Harelbeke - Harelbeke 199 KM's
What a start to the season for Kump!
The Slovenian champ narrowly beats the Danish champion and favourite in a select group finish. We had Cartillo finish in the top 10. He has now proved he is adept on the cobbles...the problem is he doesn't have a sprint whatsoever. Whereas, all the other riders who finished in the top 10 here do have a decent sprint.

RACE: Gent - Gent 235 KM's
Boonen showed well on the cobbles, until he was dropped on the hard/fast flat run in to the finish.
Cabedo is a consistent rider for the cobbles, always around the top 15. Today he timed his finishing attack well and is rewarded with a satisfying victory.
Cartillo didn't have the best of days, but my thoughts were all with Sven Nys at the moment so I had no intention of making another morale lifting speech.
