@ sutty: I was a bit surprised he still had so much power after the Tour, but he was just better than everyone else...
@ Freitas: I think so, too. Especially for Dominik, the 14th is more than I could expect.
@johannes-w: Yes, Dom leads a small squad there, he's with Tiziano Dall'Antonia and Damiano Caruso there (and 3 others of course  )
But before we see how he did in France:

I'm back from Poland again and I think I can say that it was another satisfying race for me as for the team. It was my first Top 15 overall in a World Tour race and Sylvester Szmyd achieved a Top 10 in his home race. While he accompanies Vincenzo Nibali in the Eneco Tour now, I'll lead a squad in France at the Tour de l'Ain starting tomorrow.
But first, I'd like to present you the team's next two transfers:
Riders Out:
Paolo Longo Borghini had two very successful years in our team. He especially had a good run at the Tour de Slovenie, where he won a stage both this and last year. Plus, he won Le Samyn and Strade Bianche last year. But the DS obviously thought that he is past his best and decided not to extend his contract. He already found a new team in Quick·Step, where he signed a two years contract.
Maciej Paterski is a very fast young rider with still quite some potential left and we are convinced that he will have a nice development in the future. He has just the bad luck that our sprinting squad is extremely dense at that our management decided to lower the amount of sprinters in the team. Paterski will return to his home country Poland, where he'll join the Bank BGZ équipe.
Rider In:
You may remember our first new signing, Markus Eibegger. The next two riders I'd like to present you are from the German speaking area as well, one German and one Austrian. Both are neo pros who will tackle their first season at a professional cycling team.
The first neo pro is no one less than the leader of the U23 ranking: Bastian Grünwald. He started the season with a stage win and the third overall at the GP de Portugal and continued with another stage win and the second place overall at the Giro della Regioni. After a decent 12th spot at LBL des espoirs, he took his first overall win: The Ronde de l'Isard, along with two stage wins at the most demanding stages. We didn't hesitate long to sign him.
Our second signing from the U23s is the Austrian Marco Morgenthaler, seventh of the ranking. He won the Grand Prix de Portugal and Liège-Bastogne-Liège des espoirs which makes him one of the most promising talents for hilly races.
With those two young guns, our team not only strengthens its German and Austrian amount, it also made fantastic signings for the future. Both look very promising and I look forward to riding with them a lot!
So far from the transfer front, I'll write again from France!

Helllo dear readers,
I have now arrived at the team hotel here in France. We just got briefed about the race and boy, that is one tough start list. I'll try to get a preview done by tonight.
But first I have to tell you: My performance in Poland really gave me a boost! I feel stronger than ever! On every terrain! I can't wait for the Vuelta that starts in almost two weeks!
Stay tuned,

 August 9, 2012 – Tour de l'Ain
Preview
The course is very varied. A short prologue is followed by a flat stage. The more serious business begins on stage three, which offers some small hills towards the end. Stage four is much more challenging with more and tougher hills but GC eventually should be decided on the last stage, which ends with a mountain top finish on the Grand Colombier.

Tiziano Dall'Antonia will try his luck in the sprints (if there are more than one) while the rest of the team will get their chances in breakaways, especially on the two hilly stages. But we have to consider that except for me and Damiano Caruso, all our riders lack of decent shape.

Nice blog dom is really becoming a good stage racer especially his weaknesses like the flat stat really improved thats great and his rec is impressing for his age!
I like the preview and hope you get a really good overall although it will be difficult - good luck!!!
And i like the signings of the young riders great choice hopefully they have a good potential and nice for dom to have someone speaking his language

As always, some nice updates/blogs! Those two signings look indeed promising, and Dominik's also developing well Hope you won't lose too much time on Tour l'Ain's hilly stages. You will be a strong GC-contender if you hit the final mountain-stage within reach of the race-leader! Good luck!

Nice development in the mountain stat, which makes Dominik another rider to watch out for in this race. It's a tough field, so good luck.

@ sutty68: Well, he is in great shape, so yeah, I think he fells up to the challenge
@ Alakagom: Honestly, I don't target a win here. Don't think that's possible. But as you said, a great form helps, so maybe a Top 5...
@ johannes-w: Thank you! Dominik indeed continues to improve on every terrain, although, as you mentioned, especially his rec and of course his mountain stat are very nice. And yep, the signings look very promising although I didn't look up their potentials.
@ tsmoha: Thanks I hope so, too. The performances in Poland give me hope for the hilly stages there.
@ fcancellara: It does, doesn't it
@ FreitasPCM: Thank you! I hope you're right!
Here's the first stage:

The prologue is very short but also a bit hilly. Big time gaps aren't expected but it should be a good indication for the rider's shapes.
Dominik's Pre-Race Comment
 |  | 13:15: | Jurgen Van de Walle (Omega Pharma) sets a frist decent time. | | 5'12 | | . | |  | 13:28: | Christophe Riblon (Ag2r) could have ambitions himself here, but he'll probably has to work for his leader, Nicolas Roche. For now, he sets the best time. | | 5'09 | | . | |  | 13:44: | French TT Champion Damier Monier puts things into perspective! He crushes all former times. | | 5'01 | | . | 13:56: | Daniel Oss is Liquigas' first rider today. He rides decently good, + 22. | | 5'23 | | . | |  | 14:02: | Adriano Malori is the big favorite for today. But the young Italian can't deliver. He's slower than Monier. | | 5'06 | | . | 14:21: | His best times are behind him, yet Andrey Kashechkin (Lampre) sets a nice time here. | | 5'09 | | . | |  | 14:50: | Tiziano Dall'Antonia is a good prologue rider but lacks a bit of shape. Still, he finishes provisional 11th. | | 5'15 | | . | 14:59: | Mathieu Ladagnous (FDJ) surprises everyone. He's the only one coming close to Monier so far, 3 seconds down. | | 5'04 | | . | |  | 15:38: | The overall contenders are on the road now. David Moncoutié is the first one who has real chances for the overall win. He sets a decent time for his means. | | 5'15 | | . | 15:40: | Matthias Frank (BMC) had a great development recently, today he finishes one second faster than the Frenchman before him. | | 5'14 | | . | |  | 15:42: | Young gun Dominik Nerz convinced with a 14th spot in Poland. He has to be considered in the overall fight here as well, as he obviously is in fantastic shape: Fourth spot for now! | | 5'06 | | . | |  | 15:44: | Saur's captain John Gadret is not known for his time trialing skills. He can't prove us wrong today. | | 5'22 | | . | 15:46: | Jelle Vanendert has a similar problem. The time gaps aren't fatal though. | | 5'22 | | . | |  | 15:48: | Sandy Casar is a better time trialist. He can't touch Nerz, though. Provisional 11th, 10 seconds down. | | 5'11 | | . | 15:50: | Simon Spilak, Lampre's leader, comes closer to Nerz. He's the second best among the overall favorites so far, two seconds slower. | | 5'08 | | . | |  | 15:52: | Nicolas Roche is by far the top favorite for this race. And he obviously is in top shape as well: He is faster than almost everyone, finishing third today. | | 5'05 |

A very pleasing result for us today. I rode to my full potential today and to finish within the same as Adriano Malori, who is easily among the 15 best time trialists in the world, is a great feeling. I think I created a good basis for the next stages.
The others did well, too. Tiziano's 24th is promising for the next stage. Regarding the others, well, they just aren't time trialists, so the result today didn't matter at all.
Tomorrow is the first road stage, almost completely flat. So stay tuned!

Nice start with Nerz. There are some really big names for the MTF, but hopefully Nerz can hang on to them.

A great ride for Dom, but Roche looks like he could be the winner here. I also love the final pic of Roche, really beautiful.

Probably been 3 or 4 months(real time) since i checked in on this thread(or pcm-daily for that matter)
I am impressed with Dominik's attributes and his results, great work in the Lankawi race!

It's a really great start, Dominik has really big chances to get a positive result, if nothing happens until the end of the race.

Good prologue! He should be able to keep that 5th spot, at least!
