Terpstra takes Overall Win at Qatar

French rider Arnuad Démare (FDJ)  won the field sprint to take the final stage of the Tour of Qatar, while Niki Terpstra safely held onto the overall leader's jersey ahead of Omega Pharma - Quickstep team mate Tom Boonen.

The 113.5 kilometre stage saw five riders break away almost immediately - Sergent (TFR), Burghardt (BMC), Westra (AST), Bazzana (UHC) and Chtioui (SKD).  None were a threat to GC, so they were allowed to stretch their lead out to 2:30 as the race entered the finishing circuit around the Doha Corniche.

However, the teams were setting up for the sprinters, and the gap began to drop almost immediately, with the final catch being made inside the last kilometre.  In the expected bunch sprint Démare took an impressive victory, beating to the line Daniele Bennati (TCS) and Bernhardt Eisel (SKY).

The other man of the day was Niki Terpstra. After first capturing the Golden Jersey on Day 1 of the event when he won in Dukhan, the Dutchman managed to hang on to the overall leadership all the way to the finish of the Tour. The 29-year old won his first major stage race, beating Tom Boonen by 17 seconds and Jurgen Roelandts by 20 seconds.

Boonen, after winning two stages, took the Points Jersey, with team mate Guillaume Van Keirsbulck winning Best Young Rider (White Pearl Jersey).  Omega Pharma - Quickstep also won the team classification.

 

Hugo Houle (AG2R La Mondiale) finished 25th on the stage in the same time as the winner.
