Tom Booonen (Omega Pharma – Quick Step) ograł wszystkich na finiszu i został pierwszym liderem Tour of Qatar. Dla Belga to już drugie zwycięstwo w sezonie. Wcześniej triumfował na etapie Tour de San Luis. Dziś pokonał Adama Blythe`a (BMC) oraz Petera Sagana (Liquigas-Cannondale).
Zawodnicy rywalizowali dziś na 142,5 kilometrowym odcinku z Barzan Towers do Doha Golf Klub. Tradycyjnie jak na wyścig dookoła Kataru przystało, kolarze za przeciwnika mięli bardzo silny wiatr.
Na finałowym finiszu, Gert Steegmans znakomicie rozprowadził swojego lidera z drużyny Omega Pharma – Quick Step Toma Boonena. Belg wykorzystał szansę na odniesienie drugiego zwycięstwa w sezonie. Były Mistrz Świata pokonał „młodych wilków” kolarstwa czyli Brytyjczyka Blythe`a oraz Słowaka Sagana. Maciej Bodnar (Liquigas-Cannondale) był 68.
