cycling.tv is pretty slick.

Does anyone know if Thor H/Robbie M/ are at Qatar? Boonen seems
focused on being as dominant this year as last in races w/sprints.

Any video clips of the sprints? Did you see the race? I was wondering
if Steegmans was leading him out. I know Steels fell and broke his
collarbone in yesterday's stage.

I saw the last hour or so on satellite tv, but with Australian commentary
which wasn't very enlightening on who was leading out whom. Initially I
think Eisel was on Petacchi's wheel, Petacchi lead out man seemed to run
out of steam, Boonen got onto his wheel and went past quite easily.

There was a crash in the last few kilometres with an Astana rider seeming
to come off worst.
