big understatment

Aleksandr Pliuschin is here as he still has good form from Deutschland
David Millar is coming close to top form for Eneco Tour
Edvald Boassoan Hagen is building form for the Vuelta, as are Igor Anton, Ignas Konovalovas and Rafaa Chtioui.
Alexander Efimkin and Adam Blythe are here for XP. (As are Chtioui and Konovalovas)

Last year, Pliuschin went with the successful attack but poor form at the time meant he was dropped. He will look to attack again this year and if it fails, Millar will go. All angles are covered as Hagen will go for the sprint.

With 36km to go, the break had 5 minutes (and falling) and Pliuschin decided now was the time to attack.


Nooone countered and although more riders came to relay, he got a gap and started pulling away


He caught the breakaway with 18km to go


And moved to the front straight away for the Waseberg


Delage managed to stick with Pliuschin


But not for long


There was no way Pliuschin could lose this, the chase behind was weak.


Our attentions turn towards the battle for 2nd. Millar brought Hagen into an ideal placing, but with Greipel and Cavendish behind him.


Pliuschin wins!


As you can see under his right arm, Hagen was leading the charge for 2nd and the T-Mobile riders could not get past making it a DFL 1-2 and a T-Mobile 3-4-5.

Stats boost for Blythe:

good job.

Millar is here as team leader, Hoy will also do well in TTs while Hagen is the sprinter. Konovalovas, Swift, Thomas and Sulzberger here for XP while Anton is preparing for the Vuelta.

Stage 1

A 4km Prologue, going upwards for one half, and downwards in the other.

A daily form of +5 was great news for Chris Hoy


Cancellara equalled Hoy at the first check, but beat him by 2 seconds at the finish


Millar will have better time trials than this. He finished 16th

great win in hamburg

Yeah Smashing win, and a great second. Good luck at eneco with Millar

Stage 2


A tricky hilly stage.

Millar followed Ballan's attack on the Col de Redoute


Millar took the KoM points


Ballan dropped back, seemingly only after points but Millar kept going

Grivko also got away.

Millar wins the stage

Great victory with Millar!

Stage 3

A real classic stage starting in Ans (Better known as the endtown of Liege-Bastogne-Liege) and ending up the Mur de Huy after already climbing it a couple of times beforehand. Its a shame though, that the Mur de Huy is almost a different hill to the one it was in the Fleche Wallonne.


Millar follows the attacks on the Cote de Ben Ahim with 15km to go


After the Ben Ahim Horner holds a gap over Schleck, Sanchez, Nibali and Millar


Which he keeps into the final kilometre up the supposed Mur de Huy


Stage victory for Horner!

Stage 5

Sulzberger, Konovalovas, Thomas and Swift helped tear apart the peleton into 3 parts at one point. With Millar , Cancellara and some Euskaltel riders with them,


It all came together again and into the sprint, Hagen got a great positioning in a Cofidis sandwich of Sutton and Farrar.


Would Farrar get past Hagen?


No, Win #2 of the season for Hagen!
