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

[FF'Wilco]

If Sagan didint take 3rd then Greipel is the leader again.

 

[El Pistolero]

Let's hope Kittel doesn't get the flu or he might transfuse his blood again

Great win for him though.

 

[Boardslide]

Houhanni 3rd Cav 8th

 

[durhamwasp]

kittel, greipel, bouhanni. Cavendish 8th

 

[Boardslide]

Sorry Bouhanni

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

I guess Cav realised he wasn't going to win and stopped sprinting...

 

[Machu Picchu]

8th! ok, who did what to Cav?

 

[theyoungest]

I guess Cav realised he wasn't going to win and stopped sprinting...

He hasn't had a real leadout so far this year, maybe this time it cost him.

[Geraint Too Fast]

Goss 17th . Greenedge should work for Kruopis on the last stage.

 

[will10]

Well Pisti, so far it sure looks like Boonen is doing the sprints in Oman.

 

[FF'Wilco]

Vandevelde lost again, this time 26 secs, Pinotti 8s. Rest of the favourities in first group.

 

[El Pistolero]

He got boxed in on stage 1, so didn't sprint there. Obviously didn't sprint in stage 2 and now he's sixth. I doubt he's motivated to really sprint here and is more concerned with not crashing.

Just looking at the results it seems likely that Sky got swamped in the final KM's after using up most of their engines pulling the break back.

 

[will10]

He got boxed in on stage 1, so didn't sprint there. Obviously didn't sprint in stage 2 and now he's sixth. I doubt he's motivated to really sprint here and is more concerned with not crashing.

?

Even on stage 1 he was 13th, you think he was just trying to stay out of trouble?

''Poor result today. Left it too late & found my path blocked in the last metres. Serves me right for hesitating. Congrats to @marcelkittel.''

Cav's twitter:- left it too late path blocked in last metres. Serves me right for hesitating. Congrats to Kittel.

 

[El Pistolero]

Can't he just ever say that he sucks?
