I don't like it when ITT results equal the GC results in a stage race.:confused::mad:

I agree, and yet...Phinney wins!!! :D

But yes, I agree. Dubai is pretty much the middle east version of Beijing with worse promotional ads. Beijing did learn to add some hills with time though, so hopefully Dubai can find some harder ones to add (or maybe just build some :p) as well.
 
pozz did look good will be real threat,

on the time trial it should probably be a little short 8-9km and probably give stage wins a little bonus, but phinney deserved to win this placed on stage 2 as well

You'll have to wait until Abu Dhabi decides it needs to show the smaller Emirates who's boss, whereupon we'll get an MTF at Jebel Hafeet.

Exactly, I am completely agree with your thoughts. Lets wait for the Abu Dhabi decision first.
