Hunter fires alone
 |
Robert Hunter took third leader's jersey in three days after a well-timed solo attack under the red kite in stage 3 of the Tour of Qatar. The Rabobank sprinter followed an attack by Frank Vandenbroucke (Fassa Bortolo), launching his own counter and holding off the sprinters to win by three seconds over Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Domo).
The third stage took the riders on a circuit beginning and ending at the Camel Race Track outside Doha, over a longer parcours of 189 kilometres. The wind was not as strong as the previous day but beginning at the riders' faces in the opening portion of the stage, the average speed was kept low in the first hour. The peloton accelerated for the first bonus sprint just 1km before the line, where McEwen took the sprint ahead of Hunter and Gabriele Balducci (Saeco).
With the racing now truly underway, several teams took their responsibility to keep the pace high, including CSC, Fassa Bortolo, Quick.Step-Davitamon and Ag2r-Prévoyance, who ultimately timed the effort right by launching Jean-Patrick Nazon over the line at the second intermediate sprint.
The only breakaway of note came from Koen Barbe (Vlaanderen-T Interim), who went clear at the 112km mark and quickly opened a gap as the peloton split into several groups behind. Barbe kept his hopes alive until being reeled in at km 140 by a group of 26, which included race leader Tom Boonen (Quick.Step-Davitamon).
Fassa Bortolo's Frank Vandenbroucke decided to test his early season legs with a strong attack with just 6km to go, but Boonen's Quick.Step squad wasn't about to let its former member Vandenbroucke get away. A strong chase brought VDB back in the fold, at which point Hunter decided to make his move.
"Confusion reigned after Vandenbroucke's attack," Hunter explained. "I felt like I had good legs for an attack and it worked. Boonen's in good shape, and we always have to take the wind into account, but the race could still have some nice surprises in store."
