Mark Cavendish @MarkCavendish
Yep, not the best of days today. Ran off the road by Alexander Kristoff with 1200m to go. sh*t happens. Well done to @AndreGreipel.

In that case it's Cav 2-Greipel 1....don't excuse him with being sick for Qatar...

They are Belgian, so they can be excused for not being fast enough.

Meanwhile, Rabobus have been on tarmac inspection duty again, I see. :-[ ;D

Glad to see The Cossack is finding some speed.

Also glad to see Cav is continuing his policy of calling out guys on Twitter, I will withhold judgement on TGAK until we see some video footage (assuming there is any?)

But the TDU isn't really a race

That's because Oman, like Qatar, is from ASO. They have the results handled by matsport.fr who are usually very very fast with results.

The worst races for quick results are
1) French races (except ASO ones)
2) Spanish races that are not handled by edosof.com
3) Dutch and Belgian races (in general, except ASO races like LBL/FW)

I don't mind a bit of smack talk on twitter, real or imagined I like drama especially when it concerns bolshy sprinters

Coen Vermelfoort was one of the Rabo guys who hit the deck. Vermelfoort also had a spill in Qatar. Sir, stay on your bike.

Embarassing puff piece for a crap part of the world.

IIRC there was a spanish race last year which had the results in real time? Rojas or Ventoso won that day.

Surely not Rojas, he's more likely to have taken a place from second to tenth.

Not much to see in the highlights vid. Greipel came around Farrar and Cossack with ungraceful ease.

Ryaguas · « **Reply #82 on:** February 14, 2012, 23:21 »

Hey I loved the music from the video! better to have that kind of music than an electro theme that makes you want to consume LSD...
Greipel won that sprint so easily... He looks quite fit... looking forward to La Primavera...

The usual rabo-sprint - get on front of the peleton 300 meters too early.. #willtheyeverlearn?

It should be noted that both times Vermeltfoort didn't initiate the fall so he can hardly be blamed for his falls. Try dodging a rider in front of you while going +40 km/h and riding at probably 10cm from him. Good luck with that! The guy is unlucky.

The video looks like 60% tourism promo, 20% credits and title sequences, and 20% cycling.

Arb · « **Reply #86 on:** February 15, 2012, 10:09 »

This is the best I could manage, the final km is wrong I think - there are many routes they could take at this point and I'm quite sure I guessed the wrong one. Regardless though it's an uphill finish with a rise of 40-50m. The rest of the profile should be correct.
