This will be fun to watch. The top two sprinters both are on new teams. Surely both will want to impress. I think Kittel will be at a slight disadvantage when it comes to a traditional leadout. He's got amazing support, but hasn't had a long time to "gel" with them - Of course this won't matter if he gets back to 2014 form.
I'm hoping for an overall win by Cancellara. He would need the sprinters to divide the bonus second points among themselves so no one has a "big" lead, and then take the win on Hatta Dam.

Re: Dubai Tour - February 3-6, Dubai AE 2.HC
Is this race as effected by crosswinds at all or is that primarily Qatar?

The uphill sprint is only 250 metres of hard gradients. Lovato ftw.
If he was placed better last year, he would have beaten Degenkolb.

Re: Re:
It's quite hard to tell with Lobato. Sometimes he's in good shape, but he next week he isn't. Didn't look amazing at TDU so maybe he won't be that good, but maybe he will.

That uphill sprint last year was amazing, Degenkolb almost died when he crossed the finish line.
Only semi interesting stage is Hatta. I wouldn't mind this race if it didn't have Qatar and Oman running literally in conjunction.

Quatar is usually great to watch beecause of the crosswinds and Oman is also a halfway decent tune up race at the start of the season, so I don't mind those races.

At least Dubai gets a decent TV airing (in this part of the world anyway). It's an enjoyable view of a part of the world I have no real desire to see in person. The finish at Palm Jumeirah is spectacular.
