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

[Hugo Koblet]

Vamos Alberto! Froome dropped

 

[theyoungest]

It seems Froomey had to do all the work. He's been dropped.

Although from those tweets we never know what exactly 'dropped' means... could also be 'gapped by one meter'.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Jesus Alberto attack! Vamos!

Impey, Stybar and Tschopp all dropped. Race leader Chris Froome is clawing his way back. #TOO13

Another dig by Contador (TST) rids him of Evans (BMC)

Sounds like Contador has attacked 5361 times already. Love it

 

[Ferminal]

Sounds like it will be one of the top10 race days of the season... can't wait for the 3 minutes of video showing it.

Contador leads the race alone. Froome heads up a small group of chasers. #TOO13

Contador again alone in front. Keeps on attacking. What a spirit!

Indeed

 

[BlenJones2]

12k descent though so a fairly long time on your own

 

[LaFlorecita]

Evans dropped from Froome chase group

 

[Netserk]

They are still on the last climb.

Vai vai Alberto _O_

 

[theyoungest]

Indeed, it will probably come back together... but what a difference Contador makes.

Haha. It is unbelievable in this day and age that they cannot have a live stream.

 

[LaFlorecita]

The chase group will probably catch Alberto on the flat part, but he's showing great spirit and a will to improve

Rodriguez (KAT), Froome (SKY) and a third rider together chasing Contador (TST). He has a 17" lead. #TOO13

Indeed, but if others are clever in the chase group they will let Froome do all the work and set in counter attacks.

[LaFlorecita]

that's not 17" or is it an earlier pic?

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Contador, Rodriguez and Froome are now together following third ascent. 12,5K from finish. #TOO13
