2014 Tour of Oman, Feb. 18-22 (2.HC)

[Netserk]

Team Sky ‏@TeamSky 50 secs

Chris Froome also moves into the lead of the #TourofOman overall. A huge performance! Still waiting on the exact time gap

 

[Ferminal]

Perfect...

 

[greenedge]

Yeah, they've really stepped it up. That's a huge result for TJVG on a climb like this.

He did well on Tramway last year too, so it seems like he is improving on the steep climbs. Hopefully it bodes well for him later in the year and it is a great result for him.

Any news on Kreuziger- i was hoping he could win

 

[Arredondo]

According to Trek, Frank Schleck punctured at the bottom of the climb, but still managed to finish 27th.

I don't know how they know he finished 27th though

 

[MatParker117]

Froome takes the overall.

[Netserk]

Only 2" between Froome and Uran in GC

 

[LaFlorecita]

Only 2" between Froome and Uran in GC

Freaking hell so that means Froome got 4s on Uran?

 

[jens_attacks]

Only 2" between Froome and Uran in GC

really? velits-nibali once again then

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Only 2" between Froome and Uran in GC

So Uran will probably b!itch about TJVG's new climbing skills.

 

[Hugo87]

I was expecting bigger time gaps.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Only 2" between Froome and Uran in GC

a stage still to go and bonus seconds on the stage sprints?

It's what I got from this:

[Netserk]

Yes bonus seconds at the intermediate sprints and on the finish line.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Van Garderen

then again BMC seems to be on the right track since they have Peiper.
Only Gilbert still sucks so far.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Yes bonus seconds at the intermediate sprints and on the finish line.

3-2-1 and 10-6-4? uran is fast could be interesting

 

[Bakhjulet]

So Uran just 4s slower than Froome on the climb. Not too bad.

 

[Netserk]

3-2-1 and 10-6-4? uran is fast could be interesting

Yes.

Same account now says: "Todo parece indicar que Froome tuvo una de esas salidas sin respuesta en el cierre y aventajó por 20 segundos a Rigo en la meta"

 

[JRanton]

According to Tinkoff-Saxo press release, "Chris Froome (Sky) exploded the group and soloed his way to victory in the final kilometer"

 

[EnacheV]

3-2-1 and 10-6-4? uran is fast could be interesting

i find it very hard to believe that Uran can snatch any bonus seconds on those flat sprints. But hope makes for more exciting expectations
