Boonen three for three

Belgian ace Tom Boonen has raced three times so far this season - and won each time. So far, the world champion has sprinted to victory in the GP Doha , January 27 and both stages of the Tour of Qatar - the second stage without even trying.

"Today it wasn't our intention to win at any cost," said Boonen in a team statement after stage 2 of the Tour of Qatar,. "However, the race situation put us in a position to try the sprint, and in the end, everything went well."
