Tour of Oman

I forgot, how many transfers can you roll over?

You can roll over 2, so if after the first stage, you make no transfers, you will have 4 the next day, if you use only 2, you will still have 2 rolling over, but the most you will ever have is 4

So on rest days we could have upto 6?

I was just pointing out what it would be for the tour of Oman

I must leave enough dosh in the bank to be able to bring Cav in for Fridays stage. Looking at the sky photos on Facebook, he seems to have his climbing legs on, leading his team up the training climbs.

...there again, Jon Tiernan Locke is looking like he knows how to go uphill.

Might pick him for the uphill stages in Oman.

It seeems that the first stage is a uphill finish, light and easy but uphill, isn't it? maybe Goss time??? I've many doubts with my team, expecially with the stars...

It goes up 80 metres over the last 30kms so not really much of a rise and i think the last 5 is completely flat.

So sprinters at the start then make no transfers for stage 3 so you can use 4 transfers to get the climbers in for stage 4 and another 2 to beef it up with punchy domestiques for stage 5?

When did endura get an invite to the tour of oman ??

Normally the smoke appears in the hall of mirrors

With about 12 hours to go the pressure is on to pick your team, unless of course your really switched on and have settled your team already.

I have been trying different line ups with an eye on stage 4 and 5 and in doing so have money spare.

I've gone for:

Cav
Boonen
Griepel
Galimzyanov

Hayman
Steegmans
Guardini
Sohrabi
Kruopis

But i will probably change it again

I also have three men different, 1 star and 2 DS, but still formatting my time

I'm going for:-

Three legged man
German
Eastern European
And again
And again
And again
Another German
Australasian
And an Asian

GER
GBR
RUS
GER
Lithuania (whats the shortened?)
GER
BEL
AUS
جمهوری اسلامی ایران

Decided to stick with that team and i need 5 transfers for stage 4

Fingers crossed they all do well and i dont have to mess about changing them.

Problem comes though on stage 6, which is flat, do you take out a possible race winner / runner up to put back in the likes of Cav or Griepel which might gain you a few extra points

@ stumps - problem is that we all did that in qatar and cav collected more grit than points for us all. Same dilemma for me hoping my team will be consistent and will not have to make many changes. Have also managed to have some spare credit just in case.
