'Dale Posted October 16, 2016 Share The wind has certainly picked up since yesterday's women's road race. That really could be a feature when the race moves into the desert for the first 150km or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted October 16, 2016 Share Belgium ???????? If the conditions hold then expect the Belgians to really take a grip of the race and start to try and break things up with echelons. They'll really want to make a tough race and put the pure sprinters under pressure for as long as possible. In Tom Boonen and Greg Van Avermaet they have two potential winners. They've one of the strongest teams in the race, for sure. 38 Tom Boonen (Belgium) 39 Jens Debusschere (Belgium) 40 Iljo Keisse (Belgium) 41 Jens Keukeleire (Belgium) 42 Nikolas Maes (Belgium) 43 Oliver Naesen (Belgium) 44 Jurgen Roelandts (Belgium) 45 Jasper Stuyven (Belgium) 46 Greg Van Avermaet (Belgium) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted October 16, 2016 Share The gap is out to 5:40 and no panic at all from the bunch as we continue to head out of Doha and into the desert. A number of riders, including Greg Van Avermaet have gone back to the cars for assistance but the pattern for the early stages has made been made.

'Dale Posted October 16, 2016 Share ???????? And there's a crash. Haga is down for the USA. There's a rider from Canada involved too but he's on his bike relatively quickly. Haga takes a little longer to get going but there's no major problem for the American who is now chasing back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
