2013 Tour of Oman (11th-16th February), 2.HC

[LaFlorecita]

Interesting result, wouldn't posters say ?

Oh COME ON.

 

[Miburo]

twitter thinks AC is the new leader.

That seems impossible unless there's no time gap between Froome and Contador which I highly doubt.

 

[joeyrobbo]

Think Froome will lead.. time bonuses are 10,6,4.. Contador was 4 secs ahead so will be 2 secs behind Froome.. depends on where Sagan is though?

To recap flurry of tweets in finale. Rodriguez (KAT) solos to victory on #TOO13 queen stage. Froome (SKY) 2nd 25m behind. Evans (BMC) 3rd.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Purito probably attacked on last 300m orso,Froomey had good punch prob...Cadel surprised me,good to see him ready again...Nibs and Alberto the worst uphill sprinters in 4&5 place,how surprising
Anyway its bad Alberto couldnt drop them..does anybody have gaps?

He did drop them but they came back

TA could be a really nice clash of Titans early in the season!

there are bonus seconds so froome is the leader

25 meters? Or typo and 25 sec?

Definitely. I didn't think J Rod or Evans had the form to come to play here. Terrain is a natural for J Rod, so if we thought he had the goods going in, he would have definitely been a top choice.

I suspect AC went too early but we won't know until we get the video or a description of the events. Froome should have this with bonus seconds

Purito, such explosiveness. 25 minutes in the final kilometre

 

[LaFlorecita]

25 meters I guess

 

[wirral]

25 minutes

 

[ILovecycling]

Good job by Froomey...Sir Bradley should rather take best 8 mountain domestiques in Sky to show equal performace like Chris in mountains

 

[del1962]

Froome was only 4 seconds adrift, what is bonus for 2nd?

 

[SafeBet]

Froome a surprise to me this early in the season.
Really looking forward Tirreno Adriatico. There might be some amazing racing over there.

 

[Publicus]

TA is going to be freaking awesome.

Yes, it seems Contador and Nibali went a bit too early. For Contador this is definitely a disappointing result, he's got some work to do.

 

[wirral]

Now only 2 min 25 sec LOL

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Easy win for J-Rod.

 

[wheelie1977]

Oh COME ON.

what's the problem. Interesting that J Rod won. Interesting that Contador didn't blow everyone off his wheel. Interesting that Froome beat Contador

I mean it's a very interesting result. J Rod wasn't expected to win after a poor showing mid week. Everyone expected Contador to blow everyone away, he didn't. Isn't that what the whole of this forum was on about this morning?

Looks like there'll be 3 riders within 1 second of each other with 2 stages to go.

That too is interesting.

 

[Miburo]

Nice one for purito and froome.

I wonder though what happened with Contador.

I was sure he was gonna win this, i guess he went too early or just not good enough.

You're obviously trolling just like a few days ago. I'm going to ignore you from now on.

You got to admit that Wheelie is pretty good at predicting races outcome...

 

[jens_attacks]

on lanciano and prati di tivo there will be a bloodbath

well he predicted that froome would win in front of Nibali and Alberto so no.
