Can't see any news on intermediate points. Looks like Traksel crashed at some point though?

No, just could not keep going. The sprints and KoMs were all hoovered up by the break.

Kittel to be shed again at some point?

Bit rolling near the finish and slight uphill finish from what I can gather.

Uphill from 1km to 500m then flat/slight downhill, I thought. I put Kittel back in as I thought he might make it today, we shall see.

I assumed as it's supposed to have Sagan written all over it then Kittel wouldn't feature too highly.

Btw, how much exactly was you betting me on Bohanni yesterday

Coverage of this race is truly shocking! No video and not even live tickers. Just OPQS tweets as far as I can see, and even those are few and far between

And surprise surprise Sagan wins.

Nice to see Bert having a go, trying to do a Velits I suppose and ending up finishing 4th. Gallopin 3rd

The Tour of Oman's all about the mountains though - never forget that.

Nice!

1, 3, 8 & 10 for me. Just waiting to see the top 20 now. I'm not particularly hopeful on having many in that.

 

[Indurain's Lungs]

Ahem....

Thanks teaboy. Sometimes when you're out of form, you just need someone to have some faith in you!!!!!

1, 3 & 10 here.

Getting fed up with my bike now. Working from home so went for a spin. Front gears still rubbish. Back on the stand no problem. Does this suggest anything other than old and past it?

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you have plenty of miles left in your legs...
