Kristoff beats Cavendish in Tour of Qatar stage 2

DOHA, Qatar (AFP) — Alexander Kristoff won a sprint finish ahead of Mark Cavendish in Tuesday’s second stage of the Tour of Qatar.

“It was a little uphill here at the finish. It suited me quite well,” said the Norwegian winner. “I could hold Cavendish behind me, but it was a very close sprint. After crossing the line, I was not sure about the win, maybe I had just few centimeters. This kind of hard sprint suit me really well, and I knew I had a chance today, but of course, after yesterday’s stage I was not sure I would be able to do it.”

For the second day, the 135-kilometer stage traced a route around the campus of the University of Qatar, taking in the 15.3km circuit of the artificial island, The Pearl, and on a course prepared for October’s UCI Road World Championships.

Cavendish, who rides for Dimension Data, was victorious in stage 1 and still holds the overall race lead. Katusha’s Kristoff is five seconds behind and Lampre – Merida’s Sacha Modolo is third at 14 seconds.

Katusha tried to split the race early in the crosswinds, and was able to separate a group of 22 from the peloton, including Kristoff. However, race leader Cavendish was not in the front group, and the peloton brought back the 1:20 gap.

There was a second attempted breakaway by Belgian champion Preben Van Hecke and Katusha’s Gatis Smukulis, but they were also reeled in as the peloton set up a bunch sprint in the finale.

“It was neck-and-neck to the line, we were really going forward like this for the last 150 [meters], and I really didn’t know … I actually thought he’d die but he didn’t,” Cavendish said of Kristoff’s win. “He just got it in the end, he’s strong. I’m not majorly disappointed.

“I’m happy to keep [the leader’s jersey]. It was a difficult stage and a difficult finish, headwind slightly from the right. I wanted the inside line but Alex had it. Actually it was a good sprint, a long sprint. In the end he was just stronger over the last little bit. I can’t complain.”

Wednesday’s third stage is an 11.4km time trial on the Lusail circuit, north of Doha.
