Tour of Qatar #4: Jaco Venter attacks in the wind
The 4th stage of the Tour of Qatar saw Jaco Venter go on the offensive, attacking with Dimitry Gruzdev (Astana) and Jarl Salomein (Topsport-Vlaanderen) after just 10km of racing. The trio built a lead of up to 3’45” at one stage before the prevailing winds ignited the chase from the peloton. The escape was not to be despite the brave effort from the attackers.

Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung were in the mix for the finale and with 8km to go we were in control of the peloton. Theo BosRead More →
