[Arredondo]

[indianfanboy]

Majka dropped

 

[indianfanboy]

Rafa Valls wins #tourofoman

 

[Rollthedice]

Valls wins?

 

[Netserk]

Rafael Valls wins stage 4 of the Tour of Oman, on the Green Mountain.

 

[Arredondo]

Wait for 10 minutes when it becomes clear Costa actually won.

I doubt that. Valls made the front group in stage 2, Rui didn't.

 

[indianfanboy]

1.Rafa Valls
2.TJ
3.Majka

 

[indianfanboy]

What a surprise by Valls. TJ looked strong too guessing by the twitter feeds will be interesting to know the official climb time

 

[Flamin]

Valls, wtf

 

[indianfanboy]

overall GC :
Valls
TJ
Valverde
Majka

 

[Arredondo]

I doubt that. Valls made the front group in stage 2, Rui didn't.

Based on form, it would be more logical indeed.

But Rafael Valls winner on Green Mountain. I still can't believe it

 

[Rollthedice]

No wonder Lampre dropped Horner. They have lots of talents in the squad.

 

[Tournesol]

Astonishing result. Won't be more shocked at a winner of a race this season.

 

[JRanton]

Bit of a shocker. Still, it is early season.

 

[Guybrush]

Sweet! i love that guy since Potrero stage in 2011, riding for Footon

 

[theyoungest]

Right. Rafa Valls. How could I not include him in my prono.

 

[jens_attacks]

i remember him attacking in tdf 2010 with sastre on pailheres. i guess?!

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Meintjens 5th apparently, this guy's getting better and better!

 

[Lexman]

Valls, speaking about a surprise... he was promising one time but seems ages ago...

Wait Cimolai wins yesterday, Valls today, Pozzato top 5 in a stage in Oman, would that be the resurrection of Lampre?
