Hattrick til Cavendish i Tour of Qatar

Dagene er begyndt at ligne hinanden i den olierige ørkenstat, Qatar. I hvert fald hvis det er det seks dage lange etapeløb Tour of Qatar, man følger.

Udbrud kører væk, hentes, og så slutter det hele i en massespurt – som supersprinteren Mark Cavendish vinder.

Sådan har det været i går og i forgårs, og sådan blev det også i dag på den 154 kilometer lange etape fra Al Zubara Fort og til Madinat Al Shamal.

Sidste udbrud til at blive hentet var den noget særprægede trio Bernhard Eisel (Team Sky), Taylor Phinney (BMC) og Niki Terpstra (OmegaPharma-QuickStep), hvor de første to var sendt af sted for at lægge pres på Cavendish’ belgiske mandskab, og Terpstra, britens ’leadout man’, sad med som observatør.

Den trio var aldrig ment til at skulle holde hjem, og det gjorde den naturligvis heller ikke og blev hentet med ca. 12 km til mål.

Herfra blev scenen endnu engang overtaget af alle de hold, som har en sprinter på holdet. Og at tremandsudbruddet ikke var 100 % alvorligt ment blev understreget af, at det ikke tog mange kilometer, før Phinney atter sås i front for at forberede spurten for BMC’s sprinter, Adam Blythe.

Massespurt – igen igen
Også Terpstra kom til fronten, men det var for, som sidste mand, at aflevere Cavendish. Og selv blandt andet Argos-Shimano forsøger sig med et tog på den sidste kilometer, havde OmegaPharma-QuickStep og i sidste ende Cavendish selv styr på sagerne.

Spurten bliver dog tæt, da AG2R-La Mondiales hurtige hviderusser, Yauheni Hutarovich, presser Cavendish langt mere, end det sås på de foregående etaper. Men uden at han kom tættere på end den hjullængde, som adskilte de to over målstregen – i britens favør.

På de følgende pladser fulgte Aidis Kruopsis (Orica-GreenEdge), Adam Blythe (BMC), Luke Rowe (Team Sky) og John Degenkolb (Argos-Shimano), som ikke har vist sig helt så skarp fra sæsonstart, som han afsluttede den forrige.

I den samlede stilling øgede Cavendish sit forspring til Bren Bookwalter (BMC) til 15 sekunder.

Med blot en etape tilbage, som med sine 116 kilometer også lugter af en massespurt, trækker det unægtelig op til samlet sejr til supersprinteren – trods at han og holdet hidtil har fastholdt, at dette ikke var en topprioritet.
