This really looks good, Cunego. Great result for Goss in Qatar. I am also playing OGE career at the moment and i am really enjoying it. Hope you can enjoy your career/story even more and get some motivation to continue it even after Qatar. Smile

Goss did great in Qatar. 58th place is still a good start to the season.

Tour of Oman - Preview


Welcome back, dear followers. We're still in the Arab region, the Tour of Oman is coming up:

The Race

i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd464/cunego59/Ewan%20-%20Oman/0-Race_zpsf823b50e.jpg

The Tour of Oman is one of the youngest races in the calendar, facing only its fifth edition. Similar to the race in Qatar, the startlists have been packed with top stars nevertheless, including for instance defending champion and Tour de France winner Chris Froome, and the race continues to be part of cycling's globalization process.


The Route

Due to the surrounding landscape, the Tour of Oman provides several stages for the sprinters. However, in contrary to the Tour of Qatar, most stages include at least some uphill sections. And then, there's of course the queen stage four with the impressive summit finish up to Green Mountain, most likely the deciding factor for the GC.


The Favourites

Sky comes along with a strong squad. Chris Froome is evidently keen on repeating his success from last year, bringing Porte and Nieve with him. Maybe the best chance of challenging him has Ag2r with Betancur, Peraud and Pozzovivo.

An then there's of course the sprints. Matthew Goss proved several times already that he's there to compete with the very best, at least for now. After Cavendish in Qatar, he will now face Peter Sagan. Otherwise, the sprinting competition is rather weak.

The Team

i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd464/cunego59/Ewan%20-%20Oman/0-Riders_zps42f9db6c.jpg

We attend the Tour of Oman with the exact same squad from Qatar. Our well-rehearsed sprint train is looking for more stage wins. For the GC, Pieter Weening is having his first appearance of the season. Adam Yates will be his major lieutenant.


The Plan

Our focus is again on the stages likely to end in a bunch sprint. Pieter will try his best on the uphill stages, but his form is questionable and he has few support, with all respect to Adam Yates, whose time is yet to come, similar to me.

I am the joker here in Oman. If Jens or Brett drop out, I'll replace them in the sprint train, otherwise the DS told me to get used to a pro peloton further, and especially test my climbing abilities. Plus, I might get a chance to go for a breakaway again.



So that's what we're expecting in the next few days. Share your thoughts, and stay tuned!
