2012 Tour of Qatar (5th - 10th February), 2.HC

Lol, BMC same time as Rabo, with one more rider. But their line up is a bit mixed in quality, I guess.

I think that is more down to a impressive team performance by Rabobank today considering their lineup and being down a rider.

Katusha flirting with cofidis?

 

[auscyclefan94]

i think katusha will have a good year. brought in some good riders and seem to be working well together.

Tjallingii, Van Emden, Wynants, a few sprinters... on paper, not much worse than BMC's team for a TTT.

**** I need some sleep. Nearly midnight in aus.

 

[insideout leadout]

Omega pharma will be second or first I think. A lot of horse power in there.

 

[TeoSheva]

katusha and sky same time? who is second?

 

[insideout leadout]

Forgot about leaky, they could do someting good as well.

Sky is second.

 

[auscyclefan94]

liquigas look faster than quickstep imo.


edit: just as I say that they stuff around.

Watching this with one eye and the other eye on the clinic.
So far, the much hyped teams not living up to expectation, again.

OPQS has been hyped, second is pretty good, don't you think? I guess you're talking about Sky and Leotard?

 

[theyoungest]

"Weakest link" Thomas Dekker (according to El Pisti) led their team across the line for their first victory of 2012. Well done, Thomas.

 

[insideout leadout]

Is there more 'class' than Tyler Farrar?

 

[TeoSheva]

1. Garmin-Barracuda 12:38
2. Omega Pharma-Quick Step a 7
3. Sky a 9
4. Katusha a 9
5. Liquigas-Cannondale a 13
6. RadioShack-Nissan a 14
7. GreenEDGE a 16
8. BMC m.t.
9. Lotto-Belisol a 17

He reminded me of the Thomas of the old days again

Ta for updates guys

Dissapointing by BMC, Thought they would do better with phinney, thor and gilbert. There was probably a lack of any other good TT riders.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeha, Thomas Dekker was class

The commentators on Eurosport where horrible though. Crying about doping all the time while you heard deep in their voices that they liked the fact htat Contador is banned.

And also the constant crying about how great Brammeier, Farrar etc are.. Jesus christ. Give me a break.
Never again please.

Well, using the same logic sky got third without the majority of their first choice ttt squad, so that's pretty good too?!

Somewhat disappointing from RSNT and BMC. Surprised that Katusha hasn't been mentioned - same time as SKY, that must be very encouraging for them.
