Steels recovering and planning to start

Tom Steels is recovering swiftly from his horrifying crash in the second stage of the Tour of Qatar and is already planning his return to the peloton just three weeks after breaking his collarbone.

Steels will start for his team Predictor-Lotto in the Volta ao Algarve on February 21, according to Het Laatste Nieuws. Steels crashed in the sprint finish in Qatar when Graeme Browne came off his line and swept his wheels out from under him. Browne was relegated for the action.
