Tour of Qatar - Stage 2
CrueTrue
Top  #1 Print Post
Posted on 29-07-2009 19:40
With the 1st stage settled by Wikipedia, it's now time for the remaining flat stages. As said in the thread for stage 1, much will probably be decided by the wind - so if you're favourite, you need to stay at the front, being protected.

Anyway: The favourites for not only the stage, but also the race overall, are the top sprinters. In this race, Tom Boonen, Daniele Bennati and Maxime Vantomme are the top favourites with Steegmans, Davis, Serebriakov, Guillen and Crocket being the 'runner ups'.

This stage started off with an amazing amount of riders wanting to escape from the peloton. For whatever reason, Wikipedia didn't seem to want anyone to leave the peloton, thus increasing the pace dramatically. And as expected, there was lots of wind on this stage, and thay combined resulted in a splitted peloton.
Luckily for all those caught in the 2nd group, Wikipedia's Yellow Jersey, Matthieu Sprick, were also left by his team mates which meant that they had to stop the chase, and the groups rejoined. Shortly after, the break was caught.

With 100 km to go, a break finally settled. At first, it consisted of two riders, Millar and Ford. They were later joined by Ladagnous, Mironov, Nolf, Reckweg and Barth.

Wikipedia did seem to have everything under control, though, and with 30 km to go, the breakaway riders were caught. Instead, a few other teams agreed to up the pace to add some pressure in the wind - succesfully. Once again, Sprick was caught in the 2nd group, meaning that all the Wikipedia riders went back to help him up - unsuccesfully. A gap was created leaving top riders such as Vaitkus, Bonnet, Breschel and A. Rasmussen behind.

In front, the sprint trains started getting ready, and apparently, it was 2 vs. 2 vs. 2. American Suzuki had 1 train (Borghesi, Davis), White Bear Steyr with 1 (Bileka, Croket) and Rabobank with 1 (Steegmans and someone else).

With a strong finish, Boonen did his best, but he was nowhere near the top competitors for this stage - Steegmans and Croket. In what seemed like an easy sprint, Croket took the stage win - and the leaders shirt, the points shirt and the youth shirt. Amazing start for White Bear Steyr!
