Tour of Oman - Muscat Classic 2025 , February 7-12

In most of natural areas, wildlife sanctuaries and zoos they have a yellow card system in place so Hippocampus won't act so dangerous..
Not effective at all,
UCI can't get out of it's own way... crashes in almost every race male and female so far..and looks like the solution is when teams drop out for other dangerous conditions, done on a team by team opinion basis.

Hippocampus?

That's something else.

Ever since this rule there are no more crashes. Oh wait no, there has been a crash in almost every sprint finish this year.

In case it doesn't get recognized, the photo sets you have posted are great!! It's amazing to see the difference between my photos and someone with talent!!
And you deserve thanks for finding them and letting us enjoy.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Watched that again, it's like they got the 30 worst sprinters in the peloton and a couple of guys like Ulissi and Flynn who fall into the category of 'I dunno I'll have a crack I suppose', the end result being 3 unforced crashes. It's like when Contador used to sprint in the drops at 500 watts like he was going up Angliru.

What it did answer was the age-old question of 'is Valentin Paret-Peintre fast?' We can now use this stage as a reference point when he finds himself in a small group at the end of a huge mountain stage.

Today's finish, which is used for the first in the Tour of Oman. Last year it was initially on the schedule as well, but cancelled because of the weather.

First GC battle.

Says the man who posted "understand" as "underwear" about 40 minutes earlier ...

Vinokurov in the break, as was foretold.

Guerreiro received a yellow card for yesterday's sprint. Contrary to Romeo the other day, he got no time penalty on top.

edit: my mistake, Romeo didn't get a penalty either, but caused by the gaps between riders, his time loss came from the relegation to the last place of the group.

Vinokurov to give Astana their first win of the year by going solo?
Seems fitting.

 

[Lequack]

They're on the climb, 3km to go.

Of course not, because the brothers are trash.

 

[RedheadDane]

Unfortunately, the peloton was much closer than what the live-update (and occasional graphic) indicated.

Of course not, because the brothers are trash.

Considering that the live update said he had more than 2 minutes with 5-ish Ks to go, not completely unthinkable.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Donnenwirth zigzagging up the road, lmao.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It was a delayed update.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Blobloblo looking decent.

 

[Lequack]

Gaudu and bloblo seem to be in good form.

 

[Berniece]

Nice to see Uijtdebroeks back to his former self. Even better than his former self, these punchy climbs were never his strength. Can definitely see him ride podium now

 

[carolina]

Gaudu needs to attack properly.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

GOATdu!

 

[Lequack]

Gaudu looked done 50m from the finish, but found energy from somewhere.

 

[Salvarani]

Howson 3rd.

 

[Faserr]

Gaudu looked done 50m from the finish, but found energy from somewhere.

It looked like he just didn't want to loose even if Yates was stronger.
