Welcome to the Tour of Qatar stage 4.
As usual Martin Velits tried to get into the break but unluckily missed the right one.
The Main TV Break consisted of some decent sprinters, like Hasselbacher, Zagari, Fox, Lisabeth, etc.
Lisabeth won both of the intermediate sprints:
Sprint 1:
Sprint 2:
------------------
The lining up began at 10 km to the line, while the break still had half a minute on the clock.
The break was caught, and Alex Rasmussen stayed on Igor Abakoumov's wheel.
Sinner had a big lead, but Sabattini accelerated ridiculously fast.
Alex quickly changed to his wheel, but it was only enough for 8th.
But who won?
It was very, very close but Sinner was given it. Sabattini started about 2 seconds too late.
RESULTS:
Stage:
1 Benoît Sinner AGRITUBEL 3h05'11
2 Fabio Sabatini TEAM MILRAM s.t.

GP d'Ouverture La Marseillaise
We brought some of our best riders here hoping for a win:
But we later realised we were only 1 star favourites .
Race report:
The race got away with a break consisting of 10 unimportant riders.
With 20 km to go all the favourites attacked including de Vocht, Mangel, Chavanel, etc. We decided
that Rabon will stay in the pack till the end. Hangen countered! He decided he will try to keep up. Mangel had more energy and made it to the original breakaway.
The others formed a chase group.
They soon caught up with the original break but didn't stay long. With 7 km to go Hagen set a gruelling pace only Mangel could keep up. They got a gap above everybody else and started the sprint.
Hagen sprinted like hell he was better statwise. But stats aren't everything. Mangel led with 0.5 km to go. Hagen started catching up on him and it looked promising!!!
But Mangel wins it on the line!
It's a real pitty, but the thing is he's happy  .
The podiums:
Overrall Individual:
Overrall Team:
This published Dennik SME on the next day:

Etoile de Besseges - Stage 1
We brought a mixed bag and plan to let Peter Velits drop out somewhere in the race.
Most of the riders will use this race as a warm-up.
Stage 1 favourites:
The race got of as ussual, with a break including our Peter Velits who decided to enjoy a day of French scenery.
He took one mountain:
The other sprints weren't very important.
It all came down to a sprint as everyone from the break was exhausted so early in the season.
Alex (Rassmusen) had a good wheel, Tom Steels of Predictor - Lotto.
The sprint began! Alex was in a 2 -3 position, but Feillu followed by Dion accelerated furiously! Alex wanted to win badly he started sprinting like hell, but only managed third. Who won?
It was very close, but a good performance so early in the season.
Results:
Stage:
GC:
Sprint:
Mountain:
U25:
So Alex will wear the U25 jersey tomorrow, and be hoping for a win.
And where was Peter?
Exhausted, at the very last end.
P.S;
Why does this happen sometimes when I take a screenshot and sometimes not?
Any Idea?

I personally think it was a bad move to hire someone named Kenny Lisabeth.
