That's right, but I can't play PCM atm, as I'm unable to access my PCM computer right now, and also wanted to update you a bit, so I thought why not!  Also, I don't want to release it if it's empty, and still need some articles to be ready. Hope you understand...
btw. Bob's debut is quite close I believe... |

Tour of Qatar Stage 4,5,6
A flat one, now for real?!
As the day started, the early breakaway managed to get a quite good lead, and somehow, the pack was just unable to close the gap, and the BotD managed to stay away!
Frenchman Jerome Cousin managed to win the stage, outsprinting Matthew Wilson and Robert Avery! Great fight for him, really deserved!
 | 1 | Jérôme Cousin | Team Europcar | 3h13'05 |  | 2 | Matthew Wilson | Orica - GreenEdge | s.t. |  | 3 | Clinton Robert Avery | Champion System Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 4 | Jay McCarthy | Team Jayco - AIS | s.t. |  | 5 | Freqalsi Debesay | MTN - Qhubeka | s.t. | | . | | . | | . |  | 27 | Jonathan Blackwood | SpiderTech - Cervélo | + 4'14 |
Another flat stage, what a surprise!
Something odd is going on here in Qatar... Another breakaway seems to stay away, although the pack seems to get closer and closer. Can they hold onto it?
Yes, and it's Mart Ojavee of Champion System wins the stage! Impressive sprint, holding off Russom and Eijssen for the win! Other good news, Hoogenboom wins the sprint from the pack, and gets 8th! Promising...
 | 1 | Mart Ojavee | Champion System Pro Cycling Team | 3h18'24 | | 2 | Meron Russom | MTN - Qhubeka | s.t. |  | 3 | Yannick Eijssen | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 4 | Aaron Donnelly | Team Jayco - AIS | s.t. |  | 5 | Amir Rusli | Drapac Professional Cycling | s.t. | | . | | . |  | 8 | Wesley Hoogenboom | SpiderTech - Cervélo | s.t. |
Another one...
This time (finally), the peloton caught the breakaway, but it wasn't over. Amongst others Phinney, O'Grady and Vansummerren broke clear of the pack, and got a minute of a lead 5 kilometers ahead of the finish!
And the old-man wins it! Stuart O'Grady takes it! What a sprint beating Gardeyn and Vansummeren!
To make the race just a bit better, Wesley finshes in front of the pack again, with the same time as O'Grady, and takes the 4th in the GC!
| 1 | Stuart O'Grady | Orica - GreenEdge | 2h28'42 | | 2 | Gorik Gardeyn | Champion System Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 3 | Johan Vansummeren | Garmin - Sharp | s.t. |  | 4 | Taylor Phinney | BMC Racing Team | s.t. |  | 5 | Robert Hunter | Garmin - Sharp | s.t. | | . | | . | | 11 | Wesley Hoogenboom | SpiderTech - Cervélo | s.t. |
Overall, it's quite decent, the TTT really played out well for us.
| 1 | Mark Renshaw | Rabobank Cycling Team | 15h43'17 | | 2 | Tom Boonen | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team | + 2 | | 3 | Jens Keukeleire | Orica - GreenEdge | + 6 | | 4 | Wesley Hoogenboom | SpiderTech - Cervélo | + 14 |  | 5 | Aidis Kruopis | Orica - GreenEdge | s.t. |  | 6 | Vegard Hansen | SpiderTech - Cervélo | s.t. | | 7 | Jonathan Blackwood | SpiderTech - Cervélo | s.t. | | 8 | Mike Pye | SpiderTech - Cervélo | s.t. | | 9 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Sky Procycling | + 19 | | 10 | Alexander Kristoff | Katusha Team | + 23 |

Stage 5

I really enjoyed my week in Qatar. It was fun, even though I wasn't that successful. That's because of my form I guess. It will get better soon though. You'll see me back very soon, in Oman.
See you there!
Wesley

@Luigi I know, although I will write a longer article in Spider's weekly.
I had Fernando's permission to post a comment of a few sentences 
Edit: Right, I shortened it even more. Better?

@The_hoyle you should take a look at my riders name again
@Fernando Will there be a good climber in Oman for stage 5?
Or are you going to do a small preview with the line-up just like Qatar?
