Cleaning up after the week's events...
Volpe Remains in
First
Wiskota’s GC riders
didn’t disapoint in Oman
 |
| Three of these things belong together... Nibali fails to keep up with the best GC men in the peloton. It should be noted that JRod had already ridden away from all of them. |
Points, points points! Everybody scored
in Oman as the WFL swept the podium.
Maillot Jaune Guillaume’s Tour hopeful Chris Froome took home first
overall and even won a stage with a little panache. Steven the Neo-Pro made a splash with his top
two picks as Contador and Evans rounded out the podium. Volpe managed to maintain his lead with an
opening stage win by Marcel “Ivan Drago” Kittel. Dynamic’s top two picks flexed their muscle winning three stages while cutting into Volpe’s
league lead. Taco ‘s strong man Greg Van
Avermaet picked up a few points and looks poised to make a run at the cobbles. The biggest disapointment of Oman was Nibali’s
inability to match the other big names on Green Mountain. Luckily for Forza, Nocentini rode a sneakily
good race. In the end Oman was what we
wanted it to be, a preview of future GC battles. In this prize fight it’s all about building
and maintaining form. There is still a
lot of season to go, but in Oman, round one goes to Froome Dogg.
Just remember that nibbles is on a slow rise to peak form for the Giro. Just look at Wiggo, he's on vacation, 5 kilos overweight. At least Nibbs gave it a go. The other 4 are peaking early for a re-peak in July.
ReplyDeleteYou like that one?
Its kinda true cause Giro guys need a different program, but it's not the Nibbles I know who is just good all year.
ReplyDeleteNibbles giro disappointment, Gilbert focuses too much on the Ardennes and then has a bad week, BoHaug is ordered to work for Geraint cause he's British and Flecha ends up your highest scorer with a podium at the tour de suisse.
Nibbles wins L-B-L and the Giro.
DeleteGilbert wins the Ronde and Amstel/Fleche Wallone.
Bo Hag just does everything.
Costa is podium material in Ardennes and will take a one week stage race.
Mollema, the same.
Jelle, same.
Juan Antonio Flecha, my guy, best cobbled season to date.
Wiskota D- nice start, I hope Gesink can help you out at the Giro. doo bee doobie doo, not scared!
That was supposed to be Costa with a podium. I would never disrespect Flecha.
