Today's stage of Tour of Qatar was not won by Tom Boonen, but by the Italian rider Alberto Loddo (Tinkoff Credit Systems) who won. Second was Tom Boonen and third the German Skil-Shimano rider Sebastian Siedler. Loddo has now been taking the first win of the new season for Tinkoff Credit Systems and they are all happy in the Italian-Russian squad. I can tell you too that Loddo is used to the roads in Qatar, after all he won the race in 2003.
