World Champion Tom Boonen followed on from his success last Friday in the Doha GP by winning the first stage of the Tour of Qatar in Al Khor Corniche. The stage finished in a small bunch sprint controlled by Quick.Step and Phonak, and the top three riders were the same as they were on Friday. But this time, Erik Zabel (Milram) finished second, with Robert Hunter (Phonak) taking third.

"Today the team has made the difference," said Boonen. "Now I have also the leader's jersey, but for the moment I don't want to think about the general classification. The most important thing is to be in good condition and try test the mechanics of our 'train' in the final sprint."

Quick.Step's director Wilfried Peeters said, "Also today the wind was the decisive factor. The guys were good not to be surprised by the wind and in the finale, Tom was able to count on the support of five teammates. In the last kilometre first Trenti, then Tosatto and De Jongh, worked splendidly for Tom, who began his sprint at about 200 meters from the finish."

Milram's Erik Zabel commented, "I was in the break of fifteen riders from the beginning of the race. I made a good sprint but right now Boonen is stronger than everybody."

135 riders started the first stage from Khalifa Stadium under clear skies, with a strong wind blowing against them for much of the early part. Boonen was obviously feeling good as he, together with five of his teammates, along with Hunter and three Phonaks, and Zabel, escaped in a bunch of 30 in the first 20 km. The group had 1'15 by km 23, and kept that until the first sprint at km 30, won by Quick.Step's Steven de Jongh ahead of Aurélien Clerc (Phonak) and Kenny Van Hummel (Skil-Shimano).

Chocolade Jacques started working behind, pegging the lead back to 0'45, but even with the help of Team CSC, the chasing bunch couldn't close the gap. After 74 km, the lead had gone up to 2'00 as Quick.Step and Phonak team time trialled it in front.

Several riders punctured out of the break, which was reduced to just 18 riders at 50 km to go. The chase didn't relent, and even came within 42 seconds at 20 km to go, but it wasn't enough, and the leaders stayed away until the finish. With three in-form sprinters in front, including the World Champion, it was clear that Phonak and Quick.Step were going to work for a bunch sprint, with Zabel doing his best to upset the apple cart. But in the end, there was no stopping Boonen and his Quick.Step train, who recorded their second victory of the season.
