Tour of Qatar: Maaskant 7th in Stage 4 sprint

0 comments

QtrS1_Garmin4 Here's the latest from Qatar, courtesy of the Team Garmin blog: Our man-on-the-scene, Mike Friedman, kicked off today’s fun with an attack just 15 km in to stage 4. Taking seven others with him, his escape was short lived in a brutal headwind that kept the average pace to under 35 kph.

The intense north wind knocked the weary riders around and resulted in a number of crashes. Huub Duyn and Hans Dekkers went down in one of the many pile-ups, but both finished in fine form. Young Martijn Maaskant had a front row seat for the hotly contested sprint finale and finished 7th in today’s stage with Mike just a few seconds behind.

Be sure to check Garmin's Flickr page for Graham Watson's pictures from Qatar, as well as scenes from Tour Down Under and highlights from 2008, with more to come!
