Boonen scores his second.
Tom Boonen sprinted into a headwind to take stage 5 of the Tour of Qatar after a 14-man echelon was swept up in the closing kilometers. Katusha’s Danilo Napolitano took second ahead of Team Sky’s Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Race leader Wouter Mol, who had made the select 14-man echelon, crossed the line safely in the front group to all but secure his overall win ahead of the final day’s flat circuit finish.
