Tour of Oman

[ingsve]

it was all wind before the climb so I wouldn't really take much of the result too serious.

Well, the only real climbers that got dropped were Purito and Blanco as far as I saw.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yes but Ryo is an avid Gesink hater and big Vino fan. So what you think he'll try to do about such results?

The stage 4 video showed enough incriminating evidence as it is

 

[auscyclefan94]

4 Farnese Vini riders were 40-43 inclusive in the GC. Bet you don't see that too often.

[Jamsque]

Pinotti just blitzed it

Pinotti 29" 44' 34 CURRENT FIRST!

[euanli]

I think it would be fair to say its looking like a TTers course

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pinotti 29'44, soul crusher

Far better climber than Posthuma, which he proves by this. Specialist in this type of TT really, rolling courses.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Sinkewitz has just started!

 

[Jamsque]

Pinotti is the first to go under 30 minutes, and he's more than half a minute faster than Posthuma.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Well, the only real climbers that got dropped were Purito and Blanco as far as I saw.

yes and many semi climbers. a guy like rash was 24th, because he was in the first group, not a real good climber

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I have to go now
final prediction before i go

1 Hagen
2 Cancellara
3 Vandevelde

GC

1 Hagen
2 Gesink
3 Vandevelde

we'll see if i got anywhere near

this is not a rolling course.

 

[kanari]

Is it one minute starting intervals?

you're not going to follow or back your hero to victory? That is one area you lack in fanboyishness in comparison to me!

 

[Kwibus]

Where can I follow this live? I know there is no stream, but a live ticker or something?

I'm pretty sure he will see this as a compliment

 

[auscyclefan94]

GO GREG VAN AVERMAET!!!!!

 

[ingsve]

Is it one minute starting intervals?

Yes but 2 minutes in top 10.

 

[Christian]

[Ryo Hazuki]

[Ryo Hazuki]

[auscyclefan94]

The Great David Blanco only 16th. Libertine Seguros will be devastated!
