Sorry, looked a the wrong pic. I agree now, yes indeed

Great race this Tour of Oman. Sure beats the Tour of Calif., the world's worst=most boring, uninteresting stage race every year. All hype, no delivery.
Oman rocks! Interesting place. Great ambiance. Super riders. Bit of all sorts of terrain/ stages. Omani authorities gotta get EuroSport onboard for every stage.
Agree, but not sure about the great ambiance

Btw those commentators from UK eurosport suck. Contador was knocking his head to Froome (to agree with something) and the dude was talking like Contador and Froome just had a big fight
LaFlorecita said:what but they're british so they hate Alberto makes sense
Kokoso said:Styby did pretty well, shame he had to wait for Velits on the Green mountain, it'd be interesting to see what he could do.
Anyway his goal is to make it in to OPQS's classics team, where is only one spot free now and few cadidates for it...so it looks good for him now.

Red Rick said:Would it be possible for Froome to lose more weight for the Tour, or will he need to be hospitalised if he gets even skinnier?

Yes he had to wait for his leader. Otherwise he'd probably do better. At least he's loyal.LaFlorecita said:he had to wait? so he could've done even better
Kokoso said:Yes he had to wait for his leader. Otherwise he'd probably do better. At least he's loyal.
If he improved his TT maybe he could be leader for stage races apart Dunkerque, even WT like Poland, or Eneco, or who knows what he can do...

But here are the FULL highlights of stage 5.

Yeah you're right, I forgot.Gloin22 said:Pologne starts in Trentino this year. Not that suited to him this year
Can't see him leading Eneco with so many TT'ers at OPQS, he'd really would had to improve there in TT.
But he's taking good steps, getting into that classics squad would be great already for him.
