Tour of Oman

    The same 16 teams have been invited to Tour of Oman as participated in Tour of Qatar.

    Expect quite a few team changes though; there is the odd hill in Oman and despite 4 sprint stages, there will be the odd hardman stage. Boasson Hagen back in for Sky and punchier climbers like Rodriguez and Gilbert might be more obvious.

    I don’t think the out and out sprinters will stand a chance of the overall so transfers are going to be important.

    Thoughts comrades?

    @ 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.

    Decided to stick with that
    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 😕 😕 😕

    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 😕

    Take anything you read in Fantasy Cycling threads with a sack of salt. Lots of smoke and mirrors being deployed 😉

    You say that, but Stage 4 has been deemed “flat”. Have a look at the profile …. if I was cycling it, I wouldn’t call it flat!! 😕

    Who is good on stages like this? Hushovd, Goss, Tiernan, Schlek?!

    The first 50k is virtually downhill the whole way – if it was me i would go full belt to pick up speed to see how far i could free wheel up the hill before getting off and pushing :))
