Mistrz świata orlików – Arnaud Demare (FDJ-BigMat) wygrał ostatni etap Tour of Qatar. Po raz czwarty w karierze, generalkę wyścigu wygrał Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-Quick Step).
Kolarze musieli dziś przejechać 120 kilometrowy odcinek z Sealine Beach Resort do Doha Corniche. Tradycyjnie jak na wyścig dookoła Kataru, losy etapu rozstrzygnęły się po sprincie z peletonu.
Na ostatnich kilometrach nie było ekipy, która w całości zdominowała szpic zasadniczej grupy. Na przemian zmieniali się kolarze RadioShack-Nissan-Trek, Lotto-Belisol, Sky Team oraz Farnese Vini. Nieco zagubiony na ostatnich metrach był Tom Boonen. W bardzo nerwowym sprincie, Mark Cavendish (Sky Team) „liznął” koło Rogera Kluge (Project 1t4i), przez co Brytyjczyk wylądował na asfalcie. Na szczęście nie spowodował on upadku innych kolarzy.
Jednak gdyby nie kraksa, to i tak mistrz świata raczej nie wygrałby 6. etapu Tour of Qatar. Znakomitym przyspieszeniem popisał się najlepszy młodzieżowiec świata, zaledwie 21-letni Francuz Demare. Drugi był Denis Galimzyanov (Katusha, a trzeci Mark Renshaw (Rabobank).
W klasyfikacji generalnej po czwarty triumf sięgnął Tom Boonen. Maciej Bodnar (Liquigas-Cannondale) był 92.
