CSC's Michaelsen takes leader jersey to finish line

Robbie McEwen (Davitamon-Lotto) won the final stage of the Tour of Qatar ahead of Alexandre Usov (Ag2R) and 3 Tom Boonen (Quick Step) after the race regrouped in the closing stages, with the inevitable early breakaway failing to stick.

Once again the day started in bright sunshine and aftera frantically quick start four riders slipped away: Viktor Rapinski (Phonak), Yuriy Krivtsov (Ag2R), Wesley Van Speybrock (Chocolade Jacques-T Interim) and Rik Reinerink (Shimano). The four eventually built up a margin on 5:10 and while none were a threat to the leader jersey of CSC's Lars Michaelsen, the peloton decided enough was enough and began to reel them in.

The break was absorbed after 132km of racing as the peloton looped round the finishing circuits. With two laps to go Michaelsen punctured but was escorted back to the bunch by his CSC team-mates. None of the subsequent breakaway attempts succeeded and Robbie McEwen was the fastest in the bunch sprint finale.

"It's always nice to win," said Michaelsen of his overall victory. "For riders like myself, it's not that often that it happens. So winning is very important and I'm very happy. In a race like the Tour of Qatar, you can't win without having a strong team. Everybody saw this year that Team CSC was very strong."

CSC directeur sportif Alain Gallopin said his team had been "in control of things. The whole team gave everything in order for us to keep our position, and we succeeded. It has been a fantastic week for us, and we have achieved a result which exceeds all expectations. The way in which we have done this, demands respect, and the riders have showed team work on the highest level. I'm very proud of what we've done down here."
