Tour of Oman

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

after tomorrow it will be something like this:

1.edvald
2.vandevelde
3.monfort

i don't think gesink will bother too much and he really shouldn't.

To the contrary gesink said he intended to go all out on tomorrows Tt irregardless of stage 4 results

i don't know what to say...i really like gesink and i think that maybe this could affect his preparation for the bigger races.oman is not a big deal.

 

[la.margna]

Wish that time trial tomorrow were 40, 50 or 60km... Seems FC won't be able to repeat his overall win from last year...

He definitely needs more TT kilometres in the legs, so I don't think this is a bad thing.

The climb for tomorrow's ITT (from Joost Posthuma's twitter):

This plus its a good way to test if his TT testing in the windtunnels in london payed off.

They will ride on normal bikes tomorrow.

Mhm, didnt know that . Well still, nice TT training

Again gesink is pretty consistent all season long and is generally good at all races he attends.

And illregardless of that i fail to see how 18 km on a road bike could really make or break your season I'n a month or two

It's regardless, not irregardless, and certainly not illregardless

Yeah I screwed up it's late here. As fir the spelling I blame that on this stupid iPhone. It's the worst to type on

But hey great contribution to the discussion, you rock.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

Vino or Purito for me... Vino has said clearly that He is going for everything this year cuz is his last year...

Also I'd like to see Gesink attacking and destroying the field to become his fan... I want to join the Dutch mafia cheering and supporting Gesink
Seriously! no joke! I want to believe in Gesink

Well there you go... Gesink. It's not a GT but it's a nice stage win to grab the overall.

nice to see Edvald up there too.

 

[taiwan]

Valverde is the best allrounder, but in his absence it probably is EBH... bet let's not forgot Eddy Sagan!

Vinokourov.

 

[jens_attacks]

Vinokourov.

and di luca and much others.please don't take oman results so seriously,it's oman after all,cancellara came eleventh lol.

So being a climber is equivalent to being an allrounder now?

 

[Raceoftruth]

Seems that my EBH question last night was well judged! Surprised by downing in 18th! Think EBH will win overall just!

Yep. Never bet against The Ebh.

 

[Raceoftruth]

Yep. Never bet against The Ebh.

Agreed! TGEBH

 

[Ryaguas]

"Eddy" Sagan is not an all-rounder yet... from my PoV OFC...

Anyway... Gesink went all out in this cimb for his father but He will be careful with the TT... EBH is a sure bet for the overall

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

That's not what he said on the Rabobank team webpage...

He wants to go all out in the time trial. He wanted to do that regardless of todays result anyway, because of the windtunnel testing he had done this winter.

He doesn't mention the windtunnel test. Which makes sense, because he won't use his TT bike.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I know he didn't say that. I'm just saying I assume he says he wanted to test anyway is to test his new position.

Who says the windtunnel tests only took place on his TT bike? A better position on the road bike could benefit him too.

 

[auscyclefan94]

after tomorrow it will be something like this:

1.edvald
2.vandevelde
3.monfort

i don't think gesink will bother too much and he really shouldn't.

It will be hard to predict who will finish where in the overall gc. I'll have a try

1. EBH
2. Cancellara
3 Gesink
4 Monfort
5 Vandevelde
6 Devenyns
7 Flecha
8 Van Avermaet
9 Visconti
10 Sinkewitz

Just a guess...

THE LEOPARD TREK WEBSITE MENTIONS THAT FUGLSANG EXPLODED, SO I GUESS HE TRIED.

(disclaimer: I'm not sure what you have to capitalize in relation to this team, so I'll just leave caps lock on)

well that is pretty sad if he tried and got beaten by EBH and Greg Van Avermaet on an MTF

wow. i agree with two things you just said



that damage within 2km is impressive stuff.

The ACF Mafia members are resilient bunch who can admit when they are wrong.

Nice to see Eddy doing some work.
