Stage 2, the 11.3-kilometre Team Time-Trial, of the Tour of Qatar was won yesterday (February 6) by Garmin-Barracuda which saw their riders rise up the general classifications despite three-time winner Tom Boonen of Omega Pharma-Quick Step continuing to hold top spot. Boonen, the winner of Stage 1 – the 141.5 km route from Barzan Towers to the College of the North Atlantic – retained the leader’s Golden Jersey although Garmin-Cervélo’s Tyler Farrar now holds a spot-on identical time for second place. The Tour of Qatar continues today with the Dukhan to Al Gharafa Stadium 146.5 km route and concludes on February 10.
