Anyone care about the tour of Oman?

[Not Riding Enough]

Saw EBH looking like he was being interviewd. Could he have actually won after all?

Ive just seen some higlights on oman 1 and it just looked like loads of people in dark shirts..

yup. Winner did have white on back though. Presentation should happen soon (my wife is not overly thrilled with this but loves the Omani purple headress)

It was jimmy Casper.

Actually my wife is laughing about the presentaition. No music. People not sure what to do. Maybe being given a box of frankincense?

suprise suprise he is also the leader of GC, and points too.

EBH won best young rider (white jersey).

Most combative goes to Ballan, BMC (green red and white square jersey - odd).

First time I have seen the "dignatories" line up infront of the podium for the photos. Very funny.

Good on Jimmy. Probably won't be Lanterne Rouge in this Tour.

Yeh, nothing.. Cannot pick up oman tv2 anywhere.

There where breif highlights on oman 1, but they didnt say who the winner was (it was in english), and the riders looked like a big shapeshifting blob..

Wheres the aussie one when you need him, he never had Jimmy Casper on his list.

great result for saur, good result for ebh-within trickeir stages and a time trial, ebh could have a great chance-although smart money has to be cancellara

Boonen 52nd Guess he didnt like the competition..

Does that mean there are 51 people faster than Tom

Tommorows stage looks a bit more interesting, a decent climb but its two far from the finish to cause any problems.. Fansite should then have video footage from tommoro night a day behind, but completely tied by nothing being shown till then :/

hahah.. found some video footage.. dont get too excited though.. im not even sure why the guy put it on youtube..

have you found stage profiles anywhere? I've looked at letour.fr, but only found maps, and that all stages are "en ligne"..

cant find any profiles.. was going to make some but couldnt get the motivation..

could just draw some rough ones i suppose ..

tommorows stage has a hill 2000ft high, 20km long about 40km into the stage then goes down and has a flat finish..

Something like this..

 

[zapata]

Thanks! More bumpy than Qatar, at least. 3 and 4 looks interesting.

Stage four looks like it has a wicked grade at the beginning of the last climb, and the final part of the descent looks positively frightening.

She is packing more down below than I am comfortable with.

Looking at those images I understand the confusion about who won.

 

[stefrees]

dim can you do the stage profiles for all races? they were immense!


so, vanconsoleil have a few wins this season, sky 3, 2 for saur, 1 for katusha, none cervelo. skil, garmin, bmc. or the shack. interesting mini league for tdf wildcards
