The 12th Tour of Qatar started in style with an eventful first stage won by BMC rider Brent Bookwalter who out-sprinted two breakaway companions and a rapidly closing, reduced peloton to win Sunday’s opening stage of the Tour of Qatar. Cavendish 6th
Stage 1: Katara Cultural Village – Dukhan Beach, 145 km | 143 riders at the start. Sunny and windy
With the wind influencing the race, a fantastic battle took place between the strong men of the pack. After taking off in the final kilometres of the race with two other escapees, Brent Bookwalter (BMC) went on to capture his very first pro win just by the Dukhan Beach. The American takes command of the general classification and the Golden Jersey going with it.
Two days after the ladies event, it was the men’s turn to take on the Tour of Qatar. 143 riders took of from the Katara Cultural Village in very windy conditions for a 146kms stage all the way to the east coast and Dukhan Beach. Despite quite a few attempts the pack remained bunched as it exited Doha. At km 14, under the influence of the side wind, the pack broke up into several groups with 14 men powering away, including the likes of Cavendish (OPQ), Boasson Hagen (SKY) and Phinney (BMC). But the pack bunched up together again at km 35.
The first intermediate sprint (km 40.5) was claimed by Phinney ahead of Kristoff (KAT) and Eisel (SKY). Shortly after, three riders managed to take off: Velits (OPQ), Hayman (SKY) and Dempster (TNE). Their advantage went from 2’40 at km 50 to a maximum 5.10 at km 62. Again the pack broke up into several bunches after heading south-east. While Cancellara (RLT), EIsel (SKY), Phinney (BMC), Flecha (VCD) and Bennati (TST) found themselves in a front group, Boasson Hagen was trapped in a second group and Cavendish in a third. At km 79.5, the leading three were eventually caught by the first part of the pack where Cancellara could no longer be seen after only just avoiding a fall.
With 25kms to go, the 24 leaders could enjoy a 34†advantage over the Boasson Hagen-Cancellara group and 1’22 over the Cavendish group. Eventually, just under 50 riders gathered together at the front. At km 124.5, four men powered away: Eisel, Schar (BMC), Rollin (FDJ) and Curvers (ARG). As the Cavendish group closed in on the main bunch, the leaders could enjoy a slim 15†advantage with 15 kilometres to go. The four escapees were finally caught at km 130.
The final decisive move occurred a kilometre and a half later when Rast (RLT), Bookwalter (BMC) and Elmiger (IAM) broke away. With only 5 kilometres to go, the front three had a 34’’ lead, and remained under the increasing pressure of the chasing pack. A fantastic battle would then take place all the way to the finish line by the sea.
In the final straight, Brent Bookwalter managed to outsprint his breakaway companions and only just stay clear of the hungry pack. The American captured his first professional win, beating Elmiger and Rast to the line while EIsel won the bunched sprint, just behind.
Bookwalter takes command of the overall standings and will therefore be wearing the Golden Jersey on tomorrow’s team time-trial. The BMC rider also leads the points’ standings and captures the very first Qatar Airways Excellency jersey. His team mate Taylor Phinney will be wearing the White Pearl jersey for the best young rider.
Bookwalter said he was hoping his breakaway companions would start sprinting further out. “They left it really late – they’re both smart, really strong riders,” he said. “But I was able to tuck in just for a second and get around them. I had been telling myself (in the final kilometers) that I was going to win, but it was a shock to see my wheel go over that line first. It was a feeling I haven’t had in a really long time so it was really special and exciting.”
Bookwalter’s win was his second of a six-year professional career, adding to his victory in the prologue of the 2009 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. He also helped Cadel Evans win the 2011 Tour de France and was runner-up on the Stage 1 individual time trial of the 2010 Giro d’Italia.
The Albuquerque, N.M. native and resident of Asheville, N.C., donned the race leader’s golden jersey and also earned the silver points jersey of the six-day race that continues Monday with a 14 km team time trial. “We looked at the course yesterday and it’s a pretty typical, Qatar affair,” Bookwalter said. “It will be windy and there’s a couple corners and turnarounds but we have a really good team for it. Today, the guys were really strong and I think we’ll show that again tomorrow.”
Before Bookwalter’s escape, a host of other BMC Racing Team riders showed themselves in the leading group. Blythe, Taylor Phinney, Michael Schär and Greg Van Avermaet all made the decisive splits with Schär integrating himself in a four-man move that was caught with 12 km to go.
“The guys did everything according to plan today,” BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Jackson Stewart said. “We knew were we always riding for Taylor and he got a few time bonuses. The only thing we’re worried about now is the winds might down die down a little bit. So we are wondering how much harder the stages will be if that happens and how much time is out there to get.”
Phinney, who was eighth on the stage, won the first intermediate sprint and was third on the other to earn the best young rider jersey. He is fifth overall, six seconds off the lead.
