Tour of Oman

[auscyclefan94]

You're forgetting the other half, strewn all over the cobbles of the TdF.

They are not imaginary. They are still stuck in Holland trying to navigate last year's Giro.

Mock me and BMC now, but just you wait! All good to be winning races in february but if you don't get results in March, April, may, June, July then you ain't much of a team!

 

[theyoungest]

Ah yes, very hilly. That "hill" has a 1.5 % incline...

Back on topic....

Start of 1st stage delayed as only BMC, Sky and Garmin Cervelo have their bikes!!!

If only Sky, Garmin and BMC have bikes it might be a great opportunity for BMC to get a top 10 finish (sorry, couldn't resist)

I read in this thread that Eurosport will show recaps, but will Exqi show it live? I quite liked their coverage of Qatar

They don't show it live indeed.... Thought they did.

No actually 2.8% for 11.4km.

Are you serious? I thought all the teams were out on their bikes training yesterday?

Allegedly the bikes were being transported to the start in a truck which for some reason was late. Race has started now after a 1 hour delay.

Cheers for that. 2.40 for the break although it doesnt say who is in it...

 

[euanli]

I've just asked them who is.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I've just asked them who is.

I noticed! Why does it take at least 25 minutes (when the break started forming) to find out who is in it?

EDIT: Some of the riders in the break are coming through; Tanel Kangert (AST) and Pieter Serry (TSV)

4min 40s separating leaders and peleton (about 60km into race)

 

[taiwan]

So we have

Tangel Kangret, Pieter Serry and Mark McNally (An Post) with 4 min most recently.

Anyone else want to join me in ignoring this thread, then coming on here 10 hours later when eurosport coverage starts and acting as if they were showing it live.

Not neccesarily this stage as it looks like another sprint, but maybe for the green mountain.

How did my comments on that thread reflect on me having a crush on Sportschick?

Bro deal said so

I think I'm gonna bail out of here and wait for TSF to put his highlights on youtube later tonight. He tends to post them here before he adds them to the website, though, so DIMSPACE, if you are listening: posting highlights videos in a thread full of spoilers kinda defeats the purpose.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

i assume no streams then

No actually 2.8% for 11.4km.

stop.the.press.
i'm amazed he got over it

Im keeping out of this thread and watching the highlights although the result will probably be unavoidable.

There will be streams of the eurosport coverage.

Tonight 2300cet. 2200uk

We will be recording the stream, but as its a eurosport program it wont be going on youtube (Eurosport are **** hot on getting stuff removed pretty quickly. all our copyright claims last year where from TF1 - eurosport. WCC had the same problem). WIll be going on an alternate host and then embedded on tsf, hopefully by midnight cet about 2300 uk time.

This sucks. I'm going to check if there's any info on Bici.

Nothing.

I'll amuse myself by calling: Boonen, Bennati, Goss.
