unlucky - great riding on extreme level

Ignatiev is looking awesome

unlucky - great riding on extreme level

Ignatiev is looking awesome

the route of rvv has never changed for me - why for you?

good riding, unlucky with nolf, if only he had better sprinting stats :cry:

Great riding SN

The route changes almost everytime in the second year if you are playing with PCMdaily V2, at least at my PCM

but he isnt

All good databases make use of variant files to change the routes of some races each season.

you are riding great. AWESOME.

Having cancelled our participations in Tro Bro Leon and the GLS Express Cup, this is set to be DFL's final cobbled outing of the season.

Gaudin attacks with 37km to go


He does well but is caught with 16km still to go, with the lead group much smaller.


Leif Hoste launches an immediate counterattack


Hoste is the stronger of 3 attackers, the other 2 being Nolf and Gilbert


Nolf desperately tries to close down Hoste


But will have to rely on the sprint


Nolf does catch up with Hoste - but not be enough. Hoste wins, Nolf 2nd.

Nolf was so close. Better luck next time.

Would you complain if I won it with Contador instead?



For the past couple of years the Tour de Georgia has been Saunier Duval territory. Cobo and Gil were 2nd and 3rd overall in 2007 (Having been beaten by surprise winner Tiann Kannemeyer) and in 2008 they took the top 3 spots on the GC with Ortega, Plaza and Gil.
Although we have never ridden here, Ignatiev has and took 4th overall last season. The russian won't be riding here but has given the team plenty of advice.

Team:
Alberto Contador - Leader - Still building form for the Giro, this is his main stage race preperation since he only wants to ride the Giro in May, thus ruling out Romandie.
David de la Fuente - Should be a strong help for Contador as he prepares for Romandie and then Catalunya next month.
Saul Raisin - I had to bring him here even though his target of the year is the Tour de France. Hopefully he will do well.
Rest of the team: Ivan Stevic, Bernard Sulzberger and Justo Tenorio

Stage 1 and 2

Stage 3

Its the first stage that will shape the GC today


And with just the final hill to go, there are 13 riders left to battle it out

Contador, De la Fuente (DFL), Arvesen (Not shown in pic), Vandevelde (CSC), Schumacher (Slipstream), Moos (BMC), George (Discovery Channel), Arroyo, Gil, Simoni, Cheula, Champion, Mejias (Slipstream)

Contador attacks! Only Simoni can follow.


Simoni goes past Contador


Contador closes down the gap but Simoni wins the stage. Thats fine by me since it means Contador can wear the Spanish national jersey in tomorrow's TT

Too bad Saul can't win it.

Yeh, its a shame - he lost 6 minutes on the first flat stage but has been getting stronger since. Ive got a plan for him for the Brasstown Bald stage though, that could come out well.

Winning with Contador would be fine though but Saul is just one of those guys you want to win. Im glad you got him on your team.

Hopefully my plan with Raisin will work then

Good luck for the Queen stage

Stage 5

Its the queen stage.


4 riders attacked but all went solo. Vicente Peiró led, Gert Dockx was next, then Benjamin Brooks and finally Sönke Kohl.

BMC's Peiró was given a huge lead, peaking at 16 minutes and still over 10 minutes as the Brasstown Bald began at 40km to go.


Saul Raisin's GC hopes ended after Stage 1 when he lost 5 minutes and he started the stage he was 76th Overall, 10'14 behind Contador. He has a strong daily form of +3 though and attacks right at the foot of the Brasstown Bald.


I didnt predict the response he got though - all the other big GC names attacked so Contador (Daily form -4) was also forced to go.


Simoni and a Symmetrics rider held a gap over Contador after the attacks


But the Spaniard effortlessly closed it down in what he plans to be his only 'big' effort on the stage.


Why will it be his only big effort? Because already 2 minutes ahead of this group is Saul Raisin!


Raisin passes Peiró halfway up the climb


Vandevelde joins Contador's group whose gap to Raisin remains at around 2 minutes


Plenty of locals are out to cheer on Raisin


And he's going to make it! Victory for Saul Raisin!


Contador takes 2nd, and gains a little bit of time on his rivals

Ah... what could have been.

I would have liked to have seen Saul in a few Tours of Georgia over the years.
