Stage 4 - February 2: Al Zubarah - Qatar Olympic Committee, 144 km
Boonen beaten
|
Austrian Bernhard Eisel (Française des Jeux) has become the first rider to beat Tom Boonen since he won the World Championship last September. Eisel achieved the feat by winning the fourth stage of the Boonen-dominated Tour of Qatar, that finished in Doha outside the HQ of the Qatar Olympic Committee. Once again, Erik Zabel (Milram) finished second, while Boonen had to be content with third. With one stage to go in the race, Boonen holds a seven second lead over Zabel, who still has an outside chance of winning the tour.
How it unfolded
In the usual sunny and warm conditions, the field left Al Zubarah in the north of the country for the 144 km stage. It was a fast and nervous start, with splits forming in the opening kilometres before things regrouped after 10 km. The peloton stayed together until the first sprint at Madinat Al Shamal (21.5 km), which was won by Zabel ahead of Aurélien Clerc (Phonak). Aart Vierhouten (Skil-Shimano) crossed the line second, but was declassified for not sprinting correctly.
The breakaway of the day took some time to form, with a group of 24, containing the major GC riders, splitting off the front after 47 km, then being brought back. After 61 km, Davitamon's Gert Steegmans escaped, and was joined by Nico Eeckhout (Chocolade Jacques), Murilo Fischer (Naturino), Aitor Galdos (Panaria), and Thorwald Veneberg (Rabobank). The peloton sat up and within 9 km, the break already have five minutes lead.

After 80 km, the leaders were 7'10 in front of the bunch, which started to chase, courtesy of Phonak. The second sprint at Umm Suwaiya (91 km) was taken by Fischer, ahead of Galdos and Eeckhout, and the gap had already come down to 6'15. There was a lull in the chase for a while, and the front riders still enjoyed 4'25 advantage at 25 km to go, but then the Quick.Step team came to the fore and finished off the job, aided by its leader Tom Boonen.
Fischer and Eeckhout attacked the break with around 15 km to go as the gap was still 1'55, but were caught by the rest of the break with 5 km left. Eeckhout tried again but the peloton was too close, and another bunch sprint ensued. Boonen, sprinting in only his 53x12, failed to capture the win, which fell to Eisel ahead of Zabel.
