2012 Tour of Oman (14th - 19th of February), 2.HC

[Boardslide]

70 km covered in 2.5 hours. Seems slow.
Have I got my time zones wrong?

The race started at 9.30 GMT and Oman is 4 hours ahead of us.

Ahh, ******, I thought I'd catch the finish before going to work. Seems I won't.

 

[Fidolix]

I'd be very very surprised if Fuglsang finishes top10 today. Not sure why you expect any result from his today. Maybe on the green mountain, but not today.

I would to if it was for todays stage kwibus
But I ment for the overall GC.

They might very well make it.

They might very well make it.

If it's a hard final, I don't think so.

Ok. It's sometimes a bit confusing with 1 big thread for a stage race, instead of a thread for every stage. This race is a bit too small for seperates threads though

 

[Kwibus]

If it's a hard final, I don't think so.

tbh I hope they get caught. Allthough It's good if a break stays away to keep the motivation up for attackers.

I'm just curious who of the big guns win the uphill sprint.

 

[Boardslide]

10k to go , gap at 1.40 now in open countryside with hills all around

10km, 1.40 gap, its all over...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No they can still close such a gap

 

[theyoungest]

The gap is 1.20 at 10 k. They lost almost a minute in 5 k. Do the math.
