Roger Hammond polished off a day's work by Cervélo Test Team with a successful attack at the end of Tour of Qatar stage two in Al Khor. The Briton launched from a 14-man move that contained six of his teammates and top sprinters, like Tom Boonen and Danilo Napolitano. He maintained his advantage over the final 2800 metres to win the stage and take the overall leader's golden jersey.

"With six guys in the front group and some of the top sprinters the world, it would be stupid to wait for a sprint. We were going to hit them one time, another time and then another time, and eventually one of us would go. I drew the lucky straw," said Hammond, 35 years old.

Italy's Napolitano of Team Katusha won the sprint for second. Heinrich Haussler (Cervélo Test Team) and Tom Boonen (Quick Step) took third and fourth.

Hammond moved into the overall classification lead by six seconds over Boonen thanks to the bonus seconds awarded for the win. He took over the lead from compatriot Bradley Wiggins, who claimed the title after his Garmin-Slipstream team won the stage one team time trial.

High winds made the racing aggressive from the start. Riders began the race fighting for position on the start line, something rarely seen in professional cycling.

The aggressiveness of the race split the peloton midway into the race. Cervélo and Quick Step drove the pace hard to break the group.

A 14-man move formed that included Cervélo Test Team's Hammond, Haussler, Andreas Klier, Xavier Florencio, Daniel Lloyd and Gabriel Rasch; Napolitano; Quick Step's Boonen, Steven De Jongh and Kevin Hulsmans; Vicente Reynes (Columbia-High Road), Angelo Furlan (Lampre-NGC), Murilo Fischer (Liquigas) and Johan Van Summeren (Silence-Lotto).

The group had 46 seconds at 36 kilometres from the line, 1:20 at 26km, 2:00 at 15km and 1:53 at 10km.

Cervélo had the advantage of six riders in the move, including its designated sprinter Haussler. It had to do something to make sure Boonen, Napolitano, Furlan or Fischer did not win the sprint.

It first launched Lloyd up the road, but Quick Step immediately pulled in the Briton. Rasch was next to go. His move made the way for the counter-attack by Hammond at 2,800 metres from the line.

"In the first five hundred metres I was going pretty fast with a nice tailwind. Then I turned into a bit of a headwind and it was a real struggle to the finish," said Hammond. "No one wanted to drag our guys into a block headwind. De Jongh sacrificed himself for Tom [Boonen], but it was one against one then, instead of one against four or five."

De Jongh continued to chase Hammond for teammate Boonen.

Napolitano took advantage of Quick Step's work with a sprint for second place. "It was difficult against Cervélo because there were six of them," said Napolitano. "It was very hard to follow their attacks. It is important that I feel good and that I continue this way."

Columbia's sprinter Mark Cavendish missed out on contesting the stage victory. The leading group moved clear of Cavendish and some of his teammates when another rider let a gap open ahead of him.

"It was the Slipstream guy with the silver jersey [Hans Dekkers - ed.]. ... It teaches me a lesson; I have to stay at the front," said Cavendish.

The Tour of Qatar, February 1 to 6, continues with a 137.5 kilometre stage to the Doha Golf Club tomorrow.
