Ending on a strong note, the Argyle Armada lined up and laid it down, giving Hans Dekkers a healthy lead out for today’s massive sprint finish. Huub Duyn (above) leads Garmin-Slipstream in the final lap of today’s circuit race. Dekkers finished fourth in today’s final stage of the 2009 Tour of Qatar.
“Since they won the team time trial on this same circuit, the boys were extra motivated,” said DS Johnny Weltz.
Next, Tour of Langkawi which kicks off Monday with a short 135 km stage.
