Another source says it was above 58.

Ive found a few Strava rides for the stage:
Soufiane Haddi https://www.strava.com/activities/1128.../112837188
'Hot Rod' (Danny Pate?) https://www.strava.com/activities/1128.../112827256
Christian Knees https://www.strava.com/activities/1128...9/overview
None finished in the front group though. Terpstra has been uploading his rides this week, so that would be interesting for today.

OPQS are destroying the field,i guess the work of Dr Jose Ibarguren is finally paying off.
Can't wait to see them do the same thing in the spring classics.

And now you know why Boonen was able to have a chance of winning
Even Boonen himself says that at this age he can only win when the stage is extremely tough

Super fast stage and a super strong Boonen. Looking good for Spring, even if there's still some way to go, especially as the team is ripping it up day in day out.

That's what I tought of the moment I posted my comment, but would be kind of lame to make this joke with my own comment. Glad someone else tought of it.
I hope OPQS tries to make echelons in the Tour as well, they're definitely the best team to do so.

Meanwhile in Qatar...
Break (Gretsch, Isaichev, Devolder and someone) 1:25 on peloton lead by...OPQS very surprisingly.

4th rider is Schorn (NetApp).
In case it`s a sprint of those 4, he has good chances actually.
But peloton surely will get them in time.

Breakaway is done and there is again awesome pace by front of the peleton.
Bad luck for Kristoff who punctured 7kms to go.
