Trixie Worrack beat Judith Arndt in a two-rider sprint over the line after they'd worked together 10km from the end of the race to overcome yesterday's winner Kirsten Wild and Adrie Visser, who took third and fourth respectively.

"Today was definitely better than yesterday" - Judith Arndt

Conditions were a slight improvement compared to Stage 1 with the north-western side of Qatar enjoying a little less wind due to the close proximity of Saudi Arabia. Stage 3, meanwhile, runs along the eastern coast - with almost 400km of ocean between it and Dubai, riders can expect a windier day.

Current World Champion Giorgia Bronzini crashed when her pedal snapped as she sprinted to the finish line, grazing her knees. She was otherwise unhurt and expects to start Stage 3. Specialized-Lululemon's Lisa Brennauer did not start the stage and Be Pink's Elke Gebhardt abandoned.

Katie Colclough - the only British rider in the race - finished in 12th position.
