Tour of Oman - Muscat Classic 2023 , February 10-15

[Netserk]

Ulissi barely hanging on.

Does he feel the Hirt?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ulissi pacing Cian Ugaboogabroecks?

 

[Lequack]

The bobbing Quickstep rider attacks.

 

[Samamba]

Bouchard is suprising me a bit today. He's always decent in early season but still

 

[Lequack]

Bobbing Quickstep rider wins.

 

[RedheadDane]

"Mauri, Mauri, Mauri, Mauri."

 

[Mayomaniac]

Bobbing Quickstep rider wins.

He looks like he's riding a donkey while his neck is cramping at the same time, not exactly the most stylish rider on the bike.

 

[BR2]

Just a reminder that the Mauri thread is called "Mauri thread". In case anyone is looking.

 

[BR2]

He looks like he's riding a donkey while his neck is cramping at the same time, not exactly the most stylish rider on the bike.

But the most recognizable one.

 

[Mayomaniac]

"Mauri, Mauri, Mauri, Mauri."

Yeah, it looked like there was a decent amount of wind on the climb.

 

[Samamba]

So who wins GC? Mauri of Jorgensen? Was there a second between them? Don't think so Jorgensen with 1 second?

Yes, Jorgenson with one second.

Astoundingly, they both have a sum of stage placings of 58, so if there was a one-second gap, I think Vansevenant would get it due to the best result on the final stage. I don't think that rule is exercised too often!

Don’t think the gap was sufficient to warrant a time gap here.

think that Jorgenson could have dropped the others with around 1km to go. So he made it a little bit too exciting here..

yeah, acording to the Firstcycling result, there was no gap.

Aggregated stage rakings are 58 for both, by the way, so in case of a 1 second gap, Vansevenant would have won on s.t. because of the better final stage result.

 

[AlfaLum]

I can think of one guy with a depreciation thread that will think a one second time gap should have been given.

 

[Lequack]

Stage 3, which Jorgenson won, there is a 1 second gap.

 

[Lequack]

 

[tobydawq]

Stage 3, which Jorgenson won, there is a 1 second gap.

Sure, but why is that important for whether or not there is a gap today?

 

[Lequack]

 

[Samamba]

Strong climb from Van Gils and Ulissi also.

 

[Landeirovic]

Strong climb from Van Gils and Ulissi also.

Ulissi is in great shape.

 

[Berflamand]

Pretty close battle between Matteo and Mauri. Only 1 second time difference and since they're both eligible for the youth jersey Jorgenson (obviously) also wins that jersey but he also takes home the points jersey with only 1 point difference to Vansevenant.

 

[perico]

I’m gonna get sick of seeing Movistar on the top steps of podiums this year. So much #winning

 

[search]

Sure, but why is that important for whether or not there is a gap today?

I asked whether he picked up the one second in an intermediate sprint, but deleted that question once I saw that he had a gap on stage 3 - probably not quick enough

 

[Potomac]

Well done, Mr...however you pronounce it... Jorgenson.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So, pleasantly surprised by Mauri, Uijtdebroeks on the other hand seems to take a slow build up towards the Vuelta. He didn't seem in top shape in Mallorca, but losing over a minute on Vansevenant on a slightly longer climb shouldn't be his level.
