Lizzie Armitstead has won the women’s Tour of Qatar for the Boels Dolmans team after taking victory in the fourth and final stage on Friday.

Britain’s London 2012 road race silver medallist won the 85km stage from Sealine Beach Resort to Doha Corniche in a sprint finish from Chloe Hosking (Wiggle-Honda) for her second win of the race.

The 26-year-old Armitstead, who won the Commonwealth Games road race for England last summer, finished 12 seconds ahead of the Australian Hosking in the overall rankings.
