Tour of Oman stage 3
Thought i would get this in early as i'm out all day tomorrow.
Its classed as medium mountains but after looking at the profile they aren't exactly big (156m and 154m) and i would imagine the sprinters will still be in there at the end provided no break stays away.
Only made 1 change which was to add a sprinter.

Couldn't afford Sagan. I dropped Griepel so I could but in Roelandts and Van Hecke.
basically anyone who missed the deadline, prob did well
Full results are up on PCS - http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Tour_of_Oman_2014_Stage_3_Al_Bustan
Just 2, 3 and 12 for me today, not having a good race.
Not many of the sprinters made it over, so I'd expect a lot of people to have 2 of the top 3 and not much else. I got 2,3,4,11,19 which I'm hoping is better than average and some green arrows... Shame Bennati didn't manage to contest the sprint - I thought he might be a surprise today but he came in 21st.
Purist 1,2,4 - still no podium badge this season!
Took out Greipel and Swift who I have calculated at 74 points Brought in three riders who gave me the sum total of 5 points
Not a good day
1,7,12,19 stage
1,2,3,6 GC
1,2,4,5 points
1 youth
was 2nd overall but got a feeling I may drop tonight!!
Think tomorrow will see a reduced sprint.
what bad mistake I made
think I got 32 points 
hmm i did mention it was not a steep climb, 1,3,4,16,19 + 5 for Griepel,
1,2,5 gc + 1,2,3,5 points and 1,3 youth. Not a bad i think.
Who's on the scores today?
Scores are up
Nightmare!!! should not have changed my team, oh well!!!
hum. I'm growing desperate for a good stage, haven't had one this year. I've done something perhaps very foolish, with 5 changes and 10 pen points. very foolish according to the bookies anyhow. in for a penny...
Sagan,Gilbert,Gallopin 1-2-3 tomorrow....please?
Smarty pants! Took griepel and bouhanni out for Sagan and stybar, Grrr.
Think it would have been a different finish without the reported headwind! More punchers would have chanced their arm I feel, and strung out the peloton more. Early showing of classics strength by cancellara, Sagan and stybar though...
I concur, same team as yesterday for me, so Impey in 4th too would be nice, and Boonen 5th
Well I was wrong about sagan.....took griepel out and didn't go with my gut feeling on Bouhanni..... How wrong could I have got today's stage
Feel a bit silly taking out the majority of my sprinters now!
Possibly Froome 4th after his late attack?
Phew, Sagan second, so didn't lose much by bringing him in for Greipel.
Bouhanni third, and from the photo on twitter there is a Sky rider up there but can't tell who. Hopefully Swift...
Greipel?!?!? Damn.
I had a bet on Stybar.
Think I might have made my transfers a day early - Greipel takes it! At least he's in my purists.
Greipel wins Stage 3
Cancellara, Froome, Sagan and Stybar attack. Peloton not far behind. 2km to go.
