Farrar extends green jersey lead – Tour of Oman, stage 5
Director’s report from Johnny Weltz: A fast start for the day as some team’s lack of presentation yesterday brought them to the front to try to catch up on lack of success. So it went very fast for some 20 km, but as the circuit had little to offer it boiled down to three riders [...]

Director’s report from Johnny Weltz: A long day started out with a 7:30 a.m. bus transfer to the airport and an hour flight to an airport 128 km away from the start town. We finally got there with the start delayed an hour. But still right from the start there was an attack, as six [...]

Under the lights – Tour of Oman, stage 1

Farrar so close – Tour of Qatar, stage 6
Director’s report from Johnny Weltz: The GC was pretty settled so a stage win was the goal. The riders was very motivated to finish up the best possible. Right at the start four riders took off and as all of them were far down on the GC the leader’s team didn’t ride too hard. They [...]
Farrar tries the breakaway – Tour of Qatar, stage 5
Director’s report from Johnny Weltz: It was a nervous start today due to another cross/tailwind. After 23 km a group of three riders got off the front — we had Svein Tuft in it. A couple of kilometers later another three riders joined the group so six riders were off the front. They gained up [...]
