Tour of Qatar Stage 4
Martin was today in the breakaway
But the Rabo and the Saunier Duval guys just didn't want let them go
Wiggins is in a pretty good position in the final kilometres. Hagen and Cavendish are in his wheel
Wrong way to take a corner for Wiggins there and we are losing speed
So Cavendish jumps in Turgot's wheel, who seems to be the fastest at the moment
Hagen quickly follows Cavendish
Cavendish makes his move to take the lead there
First win of the season for Cavendish to take the yellow jersey back! Great day for Columbia as Hagen managed to finish third.

yeah it's always hard to win in Qatar because of the wind and weak fitness. |

Tour of Qatar Stage 5
Again not a very good positioning for Wiggins in the final sprint
That's why LPR and Bouygues are one level over us
And Cavendish goes in LPR's sprinter, Schuler, slipstream
Last corner and Cavendish makes his last move trying to take over Schuler
Very close finish there... but Cavendish loses it. Stage win for Schuler

yeah it seems that Cavendish won it as I don't think a breakaway will make it tomorrow and there's no real threat in the other sprinters. |

Tour of Qatar Final Stage
Wiggins doesn't seem to be very good on wind. Again bad position for him
If that wasn't enough Cavendish isn't able to make it through the front of the pack, he is somewhere behind
Crash to make things even harder for us! Ventoso is down
With Cavendish behind Hagen is our only hope now for the stage win but he isn't in a good position either
Saunier Duval and Bouygues are the teams that dominate the sprint at the moment
But the Saunier Duval riders started losing speed and it's going to be between Trugot, from Bouygues Telecom, and Mohlmann, who is coming really fast from behind
Turgot's advantage was enough to stay in front of Mohlmann and get the stage win. Cavendish finished 13th after all and took the overall win.
Stage
1. Sébastien Turgot Bouygues Télécom 2h43'21
2. Peter Möhlmann Rabobank s.t.
3. Michael Morkov Lampre s.t.
4. Tilo Schüler LPR Brakes - Ballan s.t.
5. Ángel Vicioso Saunier Duval - Scott s.t.
6. Hilton Clarke Mitsubishi - Jartazi - Protech s.t.
7. Eros Capecchi Saunier Duval - Scott s.t.
8. Christian Murro AG2R La Mondiale s.t.
9. Edvald Boasson Hagen Team Columbia s.t.
10. Claudio Cucinotta LPR Brakes - Ballan s.t.
Overall
1. Mark Cavendish Team Columbia 16h09'14
2. Aurélien Passeron Saunier Duval - Scott + 30
3. Peter Möhlmann Rabobank + 36
4. Edvald Boasson Hagen Team Columbia s.t.
