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.

I reckon bmc will send martin to tne front of the pelotan, to chase tne four escapees, but not at full gas, only to put pressure on them. Cannondale will probably chase.
Two minute gap for four escapees with 75km to go.
All square in sochi for brit curlers.
Did reasonably well on the first couple of stages, but changes well and truly rung. Markus, Morkov, Kristoff, Boonen, Greipel out; Sagan, Santa, Gilbert, Iglinskiy and Konig in. (10 pens to set the team up for the remaining stages).
Sagan and Bardet(?!) in for Greipel and Haussler, don't think I'm set up very well for today really, would need quite a large group at the finish...
Sagan
Bouhanni
Swift
Boonen
Bennati
Van Stayen
Vanspeybrouck
Bardet
Colonna
Nibali and Rodriguez in - Bouhanni and Greipel out
Getting the GC riders in for the next few stages, debated long and hard about putting Gilbert in.
Not expecting much from this stage but a Sagan win..
Nibali
Rodriguez
Sagan
Boonen
Ruffoni
Van Hecke
F Schleck
Pate
Koch (extra Cannondale points hopefully!)
Gap 3'15 at 26km
My team is
Sagan
Gilbert
Gallopin
Impey
Boonen
Kroon
F Schleck
Ruffoni
Vanspeysbroeck
Sagan impey maaskant in
Greipel Markus bennati out
Lead of 2'20
Damn....took out Greipel and Bouhanni(plus Markus and Terpstra) for Sagan,Gilbert,Gallopin and Van Hecke
Early break
Ista (IAM)
Wallays (TSV)
Boem (BAR)
Maaskant (UHC)
ive got a sneaky feeling bouhanni is going to get a top ten today tbh....
Bozic, Gallopin and Morkov in. Van Staeyen, Swift and Greipel out
Alcohol was involved
Gilbert - in
JRod - in
Gallopin - in
Kristoff
Boonen
Markus
Ruffoni
Gatto - in
Vanspeybrouck
Let's hope the sprinters stay in - I've missed the deadline. That was an early one!
Saggers stays in
Bennett showed in last year's ToB that he can do those punchy climbs, so he stays too.
Similar to you Ray, Greipel, Bouhanni, Markus out, in come Sagan, Gallopin and Kroon
I'm over 100 points behind the leader so i've got to take a chance and left all my sprinters in hoping it'll be a mass sprint at the end leaving me 5 transfers for tomorrow.
4changes which was always the plan
Terpstra,Bouhanni,Markus,Greipel out
Sagan,Gallopin,Gilbert and Van Hecke in
#RIPKristoffGoddaert
I've rung the changes after a poor stage two. Brought in some more versatile fellows plus a young French mountain goat.
I've got a 'breakaway win' feeling about this stage.
Ive gone with Sagan, and took my sprinters out.....
I've also had a look but that last climb and the stage is similar to 2013 and I'm pretty sure everyone here knows who won that stage .....however I actually don't think he's in the form he was last year and it's giving me headache .....just like whether to pick someone who is going for an hour record this year or to include a young French sprinter who I know can get over a lumpyish stage
