 Tour of Oman
Stage 6- Hawit Nagam Park to Matrah Corniche
Race Overview
A break of 7 rider's went away very early on, they were:
 Thomson
 Van den Bak
 Cobo
 Meyer
 Mohoric
 Solomennikov
The break shared the workload and this paid off as they built up a lead of 5 minutes over the peleton.
Today's stage featured a few small climbs towards the end, these could cause a problem for the natural fast men. And that they did. A group of 4 went away on the last short climb they were:
 Averin
Valverde
 Uran
 Eibegger
Cobo just held of Mohoric to take the win, the breakaway survives on the last day here in Oman.
Averin sprints to third just ahead of race winner Valverde.

Good results by the team, it looks too easy for Averin to get top3 and top5´s, maybe changing to hard would make things more interesting..

 Le Tour de Langkawi
Team:
Stage 1- Kangar to Kulim
The first of many sprinting stages here on Langkawi island in Malaysia. There are some fantastic sprinting talent of show here.
First win and leaders jersey for Ben Swift of Team Sky.

Stage 2- Serdang to Kuala Kangsar
Ben Swift had won the first battle of the sprinters, it remains to be seen if he can repeat the feat on stage 2.
Ben Swift couldn't make it 2 wins in a row as he out of the top 5. Tony Gallopin of the Lotto Belisol team crossed the line first.
Averin had chosen the wrong wheel today and finished way down, disappointing day for the Synergy Baku team.
