By David Hunter Al Thakhira – Mesaieed 165.5km Remember the road where we had a sandstorm, during stage 2? Well, we’re back on that road but heading in the opposite direction. We are due more wind, this time around 16mph coming from the South-East. That means we have a cross/headwind for all of the stage….

By David Hunter After Dubai, the peloton make the short journey to Qatar. It might only be a short journey but it’s a totally different race. The organisers never deviate from the plan: short stages that cut through the desert. This race is perfect preparation for the Spring Classics and the field resembles many Belgian races….
