First WT-race for the climbers to come out of hiding, and we have brought a lot of them, while we also want to continue the good sprints from Qatar.
Stage 1: Al Sawabi – Al Seed
One for the sprinters...
Plenty of teams wanted a bunch sprint, so we didn’t have to work that hard in the first half of the stage.
For the last 60 km we worked hard along with ISD – Ferrari and Euskaltel – Euskadi to reel in the second break of the day.
With 5 km to go they still had a small gap.
A late crash took out a few of the climbers such as Henao, Quintana and Laengen and left some holes in the front part of the peloton.
Meanwhile Goss is putting in a long sprint.
With 1 km to go Farrar is on his way past Goss and Edvald is putting in a long sprint from behind.
Boasson Hagen did great considering the big set-back in the preparations.

Stage 2: The Wave, Muscat – Al Wutayya
Another bunch sprint it seems.
Nissan did a great job keeping everything closed on the first part of the stage.
As yesterday we had to put in a lot of work on the final 70 km to reel in the break.
With 10 km to go Vanmacke and Flecha has just over half a minute to the peloton.
Edvald (in green) could not have asked for a better train today.
With 1,5 km to the line Boasson Hagen is preparing to put in his final punch, while everyone else is fighting to get up to his wheel.
Now that’s how a sprint should be run!
This is in fact the teams first win from a regular bunch sprint in a WT-race ever!

Stage 3: Sur – Sur
Another stage that looks like a certain bunch sprint.
The early parts went pretty much exactly like the first two stages, so we’ll jump right to the 5 km mark where the final breakaway riders are almost caught.
Heading into the final three Rabobank have their train perfectly placed for the first time.
Kittel opens his sprint with Goss in his wheel 1,2 km from the line.
Everyone else coming fast from behind.
Goss takes it while Edvald can’t really find his usual kick.

Stage 4: Sultan Qaboos University – Jabal al Akhdhar
It’s not that big a mountain, but nevertheless it’s a crucial stage for the GC as it’s the only summit on the route.
Breaks doesn’t stand much of a chance early on today.
At least as long as we took part in them. Guess this is what it feels like when the other teams consider us the team to beat…
In the end Nissan joins us in controlling the team to make everything up to the mountain.
Bennati was chasing the impossible as part of the break today and is the final rider to get caught at the foot of the climb.
The climb is only 7 km long, so Chris Anker Sørensen attacks as soon as the incline begins.
With 4 km to the top he only has a small gap, while the peloton is still pretty much in one piece.
With 2 km to the top Chris has 15 seconds to Elissonde, a further minute to Kennaugh and 22 seconds more to Ipsens group.
Bravery is rewarded on this climb!
Willy also does a great job in the first real chasing group while Nibali & Schleck apparently can't be bothered chasing this one...

Looks like it'll be decided between Chris and Elissonde on the TT tomorrow...
Miguel: Thanks. The climb is just short enough for him to go full throttle on the whole mountain and too short for the big names to reel things in slowly...
MrUfo: All the GT's have quite a lot TT'ing this year so CAS won't stand a chance in those and Breschel needs to be in perfect shape for Milano - Sanremo. For that reason they're supposed to be in top shape early
And opposed to most people I plan the season in detail for each single rider in stead of grouping them (except for the Icelandic duo) so that I can have riders aiming for the races that are warm-up for others...
Stage 5: Al Jissah (ITT)
With no good TT’ers in the top of the GC this is going to be interesting…
There was a lot of expectations to Boom today, but he was 4 seconds slower than Offredo in goal.
Stefan Schumacher surprises everyone by cutting 4 seconds of the best time.
Breschel getting 2nd place in same time as Vandewalle bears witness that his is not a traditional TT.
Boasson Hagen is on fire as he catches Andy Schleck on the line to set new best time.
Elissonde is only 15 seconds behind Chris in the GC, so there’s still plenty of excitement even though they are equally bad TT'ers.
The Frenchman is 40 seconds slower than Edvald.
Chris is 39 seconds slower than the Norwegian and thus holds on to the GC lead.

Stage 6: Qurayyat - Mattrah Seafront
Everything points towards a bunch sprint to finish off with.
There’s plenty of attacks to win the KOM of the day. Even though the jersey was won by Chris on the summit finish.
The break of the day is composed of the Brazilian champion Andriato, Murray and Prades.
We kept them under control all day and with 7 km to go it was time to set up the sprint.
Eddy can’t complain about the quality of his train. The World Champion launching the Norwegian champion with Edvald sitting comfortably as 3rd man with Guardini on his wheel.
With 1 km to go Edvald steps out from behind Kristoff as Farrar is coming from behind.
With that leadout train there could really only be one outcome!

Our success in this race partly comes down to the perfection of our sprint train and partly the biggest names unwillingness to do some proper racing.
While I was in Oman to do some WT-racing the Tirreno and Paris – Nice captains started their season in Andalucía.
Fuglsang gave them an amazing start by winning the prologue in his first race day this season. Quite a surprise I dare say!
Stage 2 was a flat one and since we sent all out flatland riders in form to Oman we focused on the breakaway. We didn’t get in there so with the GC lead on the team we had to do a lot of work though.
We chased, but no one wanted to help so the break survived. Unlike most of the peloton, who were pulled down when three Efapel-riders crashed.
Nokkvason went in the break on stage 3, but just wasn’t strong enough to survive the early climbs. In the end Selle Italia made sure that the final hill became a matter between the favourites. And even though both Jakob, Brian and Thomas tried their best none of them were able to keep up with Rui Costa, who took both the stage and the leaders jersey.
Stage 4 looked like one for the strong sprinters, but in the end the finish was ridden too hard and with 3 km to go the sprinters were gone and everyone seemed to wonder who has supposed to go for the stage win...
So Fuglsang decided to give Löfkvist a leadout and surprisingly no one felt like joining the sprint until it was too late…
On the final stage we had another bunch of hills to get over. In spite of Movistar leading the race everyone looked to us to do all the work while making sure we didn’t get anyone away. So Fraile took the stage from a break and Costa stuck to our wheels until the last km.

Young Rider: Brian Steen Matzen, Novo Nordisk - SAS
I don't know what to say, Atlantius and the Nordic guys are really dominant nowadays, always winning or just missing out. But will that be the case where it matters, in the big classics/ tours?
Rider of the Month: Edvald Boasson Hagen, Novo Nordisk - SAS. After a fumbling start the Norwegian ended up winning the GC and a stage in Qatar just to go on to winning three stages and the points jersey in the second WT-race of the season. Nordic Rider of the Month: Edvald Boasson Hagen, Novo Nordisk – SAS.
Edvald Boasson Hagen, Novo Nordisk – SAS
Congratulations on an amazing month for you. Seems like you have finally found your sprinting legs again?
Well it’s more like I suddenly have a world class sprint train. Having the national champion from my home country and the world champion forming a sprint train for me is a great honour and after their great work it felt like I really had to pay them back by winning.
The wins are as much down to them as to myself.
The team is looking immensely strong this year. Will you just go on to win every single World Tour race on the calendar?
That would be highly unlikely. We do have a lot of depth and everyone will get their chances throughout the season and we won’t be starting any WT-race without at least one or two riders in top shape able to perform. Many of the other teams only focus on the biggest races of the calendar, but we want to perform well in every single race.
This is the season where we need to prove that the North has turned in to a Powerhouse of cycling!
How about your own ambitions for this year?
First I’ll be chasing stages in Tirreno – Adriattico and then on to Milano – Sanremo where I will share leadership with Matti, who won the race last year and is focusing on the race again this year.
Then I’ll have a break until I come back for the Tour de France where I will be chasing green again this year. After that I hope to be in great shape for the worlds though the RR doesn’t really suit me that well this year.

Sharp has quickly decided that things just ain’t the same without Garmin, so now the Japanese sponsor will pull out as well.
The people around Vacansoleil – DCM will have to either find a new main sponsor or convince DCM to put in a lot of more money. The same goes for ISD and Team ISD – Ferrari.
Novo Nordisk – SAS will have to see at least two of their riders go after this season as both Jens Erik Madsen and Thor Hushovd have decided to retire.
Belisol has decided to start aiming for GC success and signing Vincenzo Nibali is rumoured to be the cornerstone in that ambition.
