Tour of Oman - stage 1
No idea how this race is going to go but today looks flat enough so I'm throwing 9 sprinters at my team and seeing what sticks. No Sagan but I've got:
Bouhanni
Kristoff
Kittel
Boonen
Gallopin
Breschel
Appollonio
Fortin
Iglinsky

Darn u traskel, had him all of Qatar and not a single point! grrr
he he same here had him in my oman teams but switched to rob ruigh last minute always the same:)
phinney i did not play in qatar guess he wil score not a point here then:)
KOM 1

That was the only KOM, 2 sprints to come
Leading pair now have 9 mins
Hope don't regret leaving out kittel

Arndt
Sprint 1
1.Traskel
2.Uchima
3.Rollin
7 mins now the gap, 100km to go
Gap 5 min 20 with 54km to go
Picked my team early due to work commitments and checked this moring to find my puris team has only 3 riders
with the rest not racing. Mind you one of them is Stamsnijder so will get something today.
My standard team lost 4 for todays stage.
Thats me knackered for the whole season with the same happening in the tour of med.
Thanks for the updates, very handy!
I couldn't not choose Sagan, although I have a feeling Viviani might be going for it today.
My standard team...
Sagan
Degenkolb
Bouhanni
Van Avarmaet
Bennati
Appollonio
Goddaert
Mezgec
Devolder
Purist team is similar so it won't be scoring many points on stage 4...
That's why I didn't pick Sagan, I assumed Viviani would be protected sprinter and Sagan would be just getting some miles in as part of his build up to the Classics.
I cant see Viviani making it to the finish in the lead group tomorrow
However after Viviani's spectacular no show last week, will they trust him, at least Sagan is abit like Cav and wont need a leadout to get decent position
2nd sprint
1.Traskel
2.Uchima
3.Colbrelli
less than 30km to go, gap down to 40 seconds
I take some risks with my purist team (no Sagan):
Froome, Kennaugh, Gilbert, Van Avermaet, Bouhanni, Jeannesson, Gallopin, Appollonio, Fumeaux
Got a feeling I may have got this wrong
15km to go
Kittel wins
Cool, well he's in my purist team, and I have 2 of his teammates in my standard team...
Appollonio 2nd, Bouhanni 3rd
Took Bouhanni out for Boonen last night
But have 1st and 2nd in both my teams
1.Kittel
2.Appollonio
3.Bouhanni
4.Kristoff
5.Boonen
6.Phinney
7.Fortin
8.Goddaert
9.Viviani
10.Guarnieri
6 of the top 10 for my team
(1,2,4,5,7,8)
Mother fudger, I took out Kittle, Appollonio and Bouhanni lastnight
I'll get on the scores, but pretty sure there is no KOM classification so that wont be scored
Correct no KOM, but there is Combative award, surely 10 points for Traskel
Podium badge
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7
Gallopin, Breschel and Iglinsky not reported so doubtful I'll get full house but surely 6 of the top 7 nets me a top 10 place on the stage?
And quite Possibly the stage!
I need Sagan and Van Avermate to have come 11th and 12th
Love to know how many had Goddaert though
There was a KOM after 45km won by Traksel.
Yes but there is no competition in the race
7 in top 10 for me! (1-4, 7, 8, 10)
