Ok kids...it's time for Mongo to warm up his racing chops. I regret that I have already fallen behind in my coverage of the "Grandaddy of Winter Classics"...The Tour of Qatar.
Formerly known as The Tom Boonen This Is Where I Get The Money For The Really Good Blow Invitational, The TOQ is now almost a "real" bike race. Mixed in amongst the camel jockeys, no really, are some actual people you've heard of.
Cavendish, Pozzato, Forster, Wiggins, Boonen, Napolitano...and a hundred and forty other guys, will sweat it out over the lush, beautiful, countryside, that has earned the region it's nickname..."Desert Within A Desert".
And for the record...Mongo's boys, Garmin-Slipstream, won the opening TTT.(You're going down, Astana!)
Roger Hammond of Cervelo executes a perfect solo breakaway and catches all the big guns off guard to win stage two. Not bad looking kits either.
