Yep. No radios.

Oss has a very unimpressive sprint after long hard days. I think it was in Tour de Suisse or something last year or so when he was with a 5 man breakaway into the finish, and he managed to be last in a sprint versus climbers...theyoungest said:I don't get how Oss didn't manage to win this stage. I assume he did no work, and still got nowhere close to Boom in the sprint.

how I love the finishes of those "No radio" races.. so impredictible. Vichot a nice winner this time.the asian said:Yep. No radios.
Caruut said:So he said last year and came like 126th or something.
EDIT: My bad, 60th.
No, he doesn't win a lot... actually, why do people rate him?SafeBet said:Cause he's fast and wins a lot of races right?
Well actually not. He never wins. Even races he's supposed to win. Remember last year Tour de Suisse?
Last time he won, it was actually a gift from Viviani.

Anyway, I thought he'd be a bit faster, especially after sitting on.

the asian said:What happened to Dekker?
Oss will be a good leadout man and a good classics dom. Nothing else.
Garmin did some chasing today, as they weren't represented in the break. Dekker probably was the first in line, as he was already gone on GC.Kwibus said:Im thinking Dekker wont be much of a factor in cycling anymore. Hope im wrong, its still early season.
