Tom Boonen (Quick.Step-Davitamon) has started his 2005 season in a good way, winning the first stage of the Tour of Qatar which finished outside the Hyatt Plaza in Doha. In a bunch sprint at the end of a 143 km stage, Boonen beat Mario Cipollini (Liquigas-Bianchi) and Robert Hunter (Phonak) to take the win and the first golden leader's jersey

"This was one of my best ever finishing sprints," said Boonen, who had made up a lot of ground in the final straight and jumped from 500m out. "I am extremely happy with my form and winning straight away after the problems I had this winter certainly boosts my morale. Here in Qatar we are working on perfecting the workings of the train that will be piloting me during the season. Having won straight away is important for me and my team-mates."

Mario Cipollini came very close to recording his first victory in quite some time, but was beaten by the flying Boonen. "I want to thank the team; They worked very hard," said the Lion King afterwards, adding that he was very satisfied with "the excellent sensations I felt."

The first stage of the 4th Tour of Qatar started at the Al Khor Corniche and finished at the Hyatt Plaza in Doha. It didn't take long for the first attack to occur as Hong-Kong's Chiyin Leung (Marco Polo) set off after 5 km. He wasn't chased at first, and gained a maximum lead of 9'45 by km 56. Leung won the first sprint at Al Jemailiya (71 km) ahead of Robert Hunter and Björn Schröder (Wiesenhof), while conserving 9'15 of his lead. But 30 km later he was caught by Laurens Ten Dam and Rik Reinerink (Shimano-Memory Corp), who won the second sprint at Oryx Farm (km 103), with Leung getting third.

The breakaway trio was caught by the peloton after 112 km, and from then on the sprinters teams controlled the pace. In the run in to the finish, Boonen said that he had a "little incident" with an Ag2r rider, "I was in 15th or 20th position," he recalled. "With 500m to go, I gave everything I had, I started passing guys and went to Cipollini’s wheel. He started sprinting and I passed him immediately. I'm glad that everything went as it did."
