ONCE-Team participates at Oman 10h, too, with the following line-up:

Vincent Fouchet: Leader, wants to be at the end of the tour in the top 7
Patrick Sinkewitz: the old classic, who should train hill a bit better in the past
Sarah Burke: our wife, that is responsible for cooking. and a nice looking helper in the hills
Albert Blattmann: young guy, that wants to get experience and will be in some escapes.
Alexandre Moos: only 22 and hardworking in the training.
Heinrich Hübner: lovely waterboy with downhill.
Bert Grabsch: Once Team`s youngest chick. first tour for him. he is a bit scared
Fjodor Michajlowitsch: russian waterboy and a real party animal when there is something won

target: a surprising stagewin with a successful escape

Team Alkworld is apparently also there. It seems to look ok for Picasso, winning the GC is possible, but there are also a few risks. Some other climber may get too many bonus seconds (like Melotte today already) or some classic riders get too far away (rather unlikely however). But we'll see. At least, the participation in the race looks good and even Rasmussenbank woke up today

Bah, I am sure Ollé Ollé's mountain down training cost him the victory today. pfff... Anyway. Nice tour so far. Three stages, three winners. Tomorrow most probably another new one. For the GC, nothing changed much so far, although Melotte has a short time advantage against the other climbers. Red should be Picasso's if he wins tomorrow, Green for Gorski most probably. Depens also a lot on the stage on Saturday, if it is changed or not. White will be reserved for Roy, hopefully, the team classification is still very open.

Very lucky stage for me. Stage controlled by Rasmussenbank who was very proud of being on rsf so early. In last 3 kms sprinters were sibed, which was a surprise for me. I didn't think so many riders would drop on 5%. Not sure why Alkworld help me to block in last 2kms, but thank you In sprint I won which let me take yellow and green. Yellow will be lost tomorrow, but i may keep green till the end

It was certainly for my own good. I just wanted to make sure that nobody gets away from the peloton to get 20 more bonus seconds. With Friday's stage in mind, there could still be a lot possible and more time could be lost on the classic riders. My updated favorite check now looks like that:

Yellow
***** Pawel Pikaszowski
**** Kili Leonid, Sébastien Melottski
***
**
* Amadeusz Raczinski
Pawel should make it, if everything goes as expected, Kili, if Pawel makes mistakes and Sébastien, if he gets enough bonus seconds. Amadeusz only, if the climbers would be sleeping (and if Rasmussenbank is awake ).

Green
*** Michal Gorski
**
* Jean Ollészinski
Jean might get his chance, if the last stage would be simplified (which is still under discussion).

Red
*** Pawel Pikaszowski, Kili Leonid
**
*
Kili would have a chance, if he's really interested and scores points on Friday.

White
*** Roy Polska
**
* Sjaak Hemerlicz
Roy should have no problems winning that, if he's really interested. Especially when considering that Sjaak is usually only Amadeusz' helper.

The expected winner at stage 4: Pawel Picaszowski, now also definitly in red it seems. Meanwhile, Roy did a great job for getting white and Bennsinn worked their ass off for the team classification that Team FL is leading at the moment. To Olléczinski's regret, Gorski wears now the nice green jersey he would like to have. Grrr...

Tomorrow will be much more interesting I guess. Some nice hills at the end and the possibility for a group? finally? Even with PETROLANDA who has been refusing to work at the end of a stage for everytime he was in a the escape? We will see... Maybe Radeberger and/or Radomiak have other plans with the stage than let other win it.

About tomorrow, I am not able to block after the last mountain and i doubt Alkworld will help this time to do it. Anyway we will see tomorrow how other teams will ride, me not being able to control is a good chances for Raczinski :p Polaks everywhere

With polish like this you can switch the language version of rsf to polish one.

Will be there in person!

Attention: Last stage's profile changed!


Please check out. The stage overview does not correspond with the profile details!

Good bye green.

Very bad stage from me, i was riding like idiot. I am too naive But I learn everyday and for sure i got new experience.

Actually, it would have been nice, if Radeberger would have been there. With him, it would have been possible to get the sprint. Of course it would also have been nice, if the group would also have been caught and Pawel Pikaszowski would have won the stage Then he really could have won also the green jersey (which is still pretty safe on Gorski's shoulders).

ofcourse you have to note that with nietsche in front i had multiple options, i could have siebed at the second mountain and work something out with FL as well, that would have been an option if rado's tempobuddy was on. even at the last mountain i could have waited for FL to try something together.. but i knew that if i would ride with nietsche and raczinski that it would be almost impossible to catch me (even if in the end the difference is only 1s )
