Tour of Oman. Stage 4

Heres the profile for tomorrow http://www.steephill.tv/players/aso-profile/?race=tour-of-oman&stage=4&y...

Looks like an interesting stage lots of hills but only a small climb up hill for the last 5km. so who to drop who to keep is the question, Will the break succeed or will be another bunch finish? Lots of question and 4 transfers saed up. I think this stage and the next will be the ones to make a big difference in points

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

I'm just moaning cause i'm an arse  19 and didn't listen to myself and decided i would chance it today for more points tomorrow  31 In the end it wasn't that bad, i still scored 63, better than when i had the sprinters in for the sprinting stage 2  13

One thing i did notice today, i cant find a place to find ALL the riders who scored and not just the dream team? I was trying to work out what i would have scored against what i did score

I don't blame anyone for taking the tour in, I liked Qatar, BUT i'd like the foresight based not only on what race you can get results for quickly, i don't mind waiting for scores if i can watch the race live  4

 16 194 today, best score ever  16
Can't understand all the whining, except for P**s poor TV coverage. I posted before, If you want to whinge, let's all get on to Sky/Eurosport/ITV4. I recorded 3.5 hours of b**dy tennis yesterday & paying Eurosport & Sky for the privilege  14
 19 FYI - I didn't listen to Gkam84 either  19

Swifty isn't doing too well in the Omnium.

Presumably, you're a Yorkshireman...  22

Swifty not going well at all, but thats not his event, commentary's having a go about the Olympic's taking the Omnium in and scraping some other decent events and only having 1 rider be race

I wont spoil Hustle, its still got 15 mins to go and you'll be able to get it on Iplayer  3

I think the lack of TV coverage is OK. It makes it easier to resist the temptation to make transfers, and therefore I can stay purist almost without trying.

This way I can say, "whatever, I never could have known THAT was going to happen" rather than kicking myself repeatedly for not seeing things coming and making the right transfers the day before the stage. I'll save all that self-doubt and other neurotic behavior for the later classics and grand tours.  3

I dont think the person had changed team since TDU

I also think the data base needs a chop over 3 pages of players who haven't played this year, maybe send out an email, log in or lose your fantasy account?

What does B**dy mean?

Can't think of anything that would fit the constraints of the two *'s. Perhaps Biddy?
Buddy? Boody?

Presumably, you meant B***dy.

or not?  19

If you plan ahead, why would you ever need to use the -20 option.

Waste of time ladz
