Tour Med - Stage Four
Rousset to Toulon (Mont Faron) - 144.9kml
All about Voeckler today. And making sure Pellizotti keeps the KOM jersey.
We will make the race very hard, and ensure that Antomarchi doesnt get into the lead group without one of our guys there to beat him. Velits is happy to work for Tommy as his aim this tour was for the TT stage and not the overall.
A day in the hills starts with grey clouds overhead. Its not very warm and its possible there will be rain later, as well as quite a few sharp climbs today. Not a nice day. Unless your
Thomas Voeckler.
With no break managing to establish itself by the first big kill,
Wico Kelderman goes on the attack to try and form one.
He succeeds, but none of the group seem willing to work so its unlikely it will last.
The break of the day finally gets away at 108k to go.
Welderman doesn't feature as its apparent the pack not going to let that happen, so
Damien Caruso takes his place. The other 6 men are
Rodriguez (AND), Camano (TNE), Nuekerk (MTN), Proni (VIN), Edmunson (SKY) and
Edet (COF) . The lead is quickly built up to 3 minutes with 95km to go.
BMC, Sky and Saxo-Tinkoff take control of the peleton and set the pace, holding the gap at around 4 minutes.
After coming to the front at 50km to go,
Dario Cataldo is doing some serious damage to the peleton.
A group of 40 riders break off the back, unable to keep up with the pace.
The Yellow Jersey of
Velits is the first to make his move, attacking with 22km to go, with the break 1'48" down the road.
The attacks come thick and fast as teams scramble to react.
Lopez (SKY) puts in a strong move, overhauling
Velits , the Slovak is on his tail and ominously, in his wheel is the green jersey of
Voeckler who had followed the Spaniard from the start of his attack.
Its not long before Tommy has left Velits behind, bridged to the break and left it behind, using Caruso as he drive hard on the decent down the thte final climb. The peleton has eaten all behind them, with the expection of one certain World Champion
Gilbert (BMC) , who has broken from the grasp of the pack in chase of Voeckler.
With 4.6k remaining, its just Gilbert and Voeckler at the front, with 30' back to the pack. It's going to be one exciting finish.
With 3k to go, the gap is at 15' to a chasing group of 14.
Tommy is out on his own by 1.5, putting in a short burst to drop Gilbert who was just sitting behind him doing nothing. 15 seconds between him and the group of
Gilbert, Ratto (RLT), Bakelants (RLT) and
Nocentini (ALM) . Can Tommy hold off Ratto from stealing another win from him?
YES HE CAN! Today he has timed it to perfection and gets to lift his arms. Thats the Green and Yellow Jerseys for him, as well as his first stage win of the season.

Great day for Tommy but the rest of the team suffered a bit due to it. Velits managed to hang in on the top 10 but evreyone else slide just outside, so we missed out target on 3 top 10s.
Bit dissapointing to miss out on the young riders too really. Wico had other work to do, but Talansky really did nothing all tour and should have performed better.
Tour Review
2 Stage wins (Voeckler and Velits)
2 Other Podiums (2 2nd places Voeckler)
2 Other top 5s (Cataldo and Talansky)
Overall GC (Voeckler)
Overall Points (Voeckler)
Overall KOM (Pellizotti)
Not quite so dominating compared to the previous two tours, but still a good showing. Missing out of the 3 top 10 GC places is a bit of a blow, but it was mainly due to the gaps on the last day where the team had put in lots of effort to launch Voeckler.
Time Trial day was pretty impressive, although of course Thomas Voeckler stole the show there as well.
Tommy is showing great form already. Most of the squad are performing well. Only real concerns are over Talansky, who has underperformed. He was given a free role and asked to do really no work this tour, but has done little to take advantage of it.
What's next for Red Bull Cannondale
Sagan ,
Meyer , Moser, Spilak, Phinney, Bak, Gallopin, Haedo
Its out to the Gulf next, with the tour of Oman the next goal on our agenda. All eyes would normally be on Sagan, but we suspect that some of the attention may be on current UCI Tour leader Cameron Meyer too. His shown great form so far this season and will want to put in a strong show on green mountain.
Its a fairly strong team and sweep could well be on the cards again.

Musannah to Sultan Qaboos University -158.6km
Today is a pretty flat day. Theres a slight climb throughout the first half of the day, and a long slight decent through the second but both are barely noticable. It will be a day for the sprinters.
Which would normally mean an almost certain Sagan win. Except, Lotto brought Griepel and Omega Pharma Quickstep brought Cavendish and Boonen. So not totally straight forward.
Depending on how legs are feeling, Sagan might try to get away at the end to stop the sprint. If not, we have a great train too and should be able to put in a good fight against the two best sprinters in the world.
The days break go away after much attacking,
Meyer being center in alot of it. The pack really didnt like the idea of him getting away though, so eventually it was left too
Avery (CSS) and
Hulsmans (VIN) to be the days break.
Lots of teams went hard at the first sprint point for the last points.
Cavendish (OPQ) took the two points ahead of
Breshal (TST), Hushovd (BMC) and
Griepel (LTB) . We didnt make the effort, saving ourselves for the final run in.
The same happens at the second sprint points, before we take over for the run in. With the breakaway easily caught and the peleton shattering into piece due to a strong wind, with 5k to go we have our train running in the front, with
Greipel and
Cavendish fighting for
Sagan's wheel.
Lotto formed a train but its breaking up, with ours still going strong at 3k to go. Cavendish seems to have fallen back.
Martens (BLA) is in Sagan's wheel.
Phinney starts the sprint with 1.7k to go. The pack is massively strung out, with
Martens and
Griepel the only ones remaining in close contact.
Sagan takes a rather easy win from his leadout man
Phinney and it looks like a good 8 second gap back to
Cavendish who steals 3rd from
Griepel.
Apparently the judges saw things differently and gave the whole pack the same time.

We certainly are! Massively helped by the teams being idiots today though. I didnt bother to drop them in the run in due to them fighting for the sprints earlier, i just sat there and didnt use any energy. It showed during the run-in. Griepel and Cav got 1 second and 2 points from thier silly sprints. I more then got that back by 1-2 ing XD.

Fanjah to Al Bustan -151.8km
Probably not going to bother with any breakaway riders today. We will just wait, see what happens and chase a break down if we have to. If not, we will set a hard pace at the end anyway. There are two short climbs in the last 20k and they could split the pack. Sagan can likely stay with any group over the bumps and then win because Cav and Griepel arent there. Or are, but are dead from climbing.
The break of the day forms with about 25k into the stage. As yesterday, it took a while before one got away and when it did it was not a very large break, Omega Pharma Quickstep doing the work to make sure the group was manageable.
Elminger (IAM), Scheirlinckx (AJW) and
Wilson (SKT) are the guys allowed to go 2 minutes down the road.
With most teams relunctant to do any work, the gap stretches to 5'30 with 90k to go. Haedo has been putting a very slight tempo in the front, but not enough to hold the gap. We would prefer a hard run in, as it means there are more likely to be splits up the final hill.
With 50k to go, Phinney begins to do some work at the front and by 40k as you can see, the peleton is starting to seriously string out. The break is only 2'21 down the road. This race might start getting lively.
As the pack descends down towards the last sharp hill before the finish, Sagan finds himself unintentionally breaking away from the pack. He keeps a fair effort up, with Spilak usefully placed to protect him down the decent. By the bottom, the lead back to the pack is 30 seconds with 8.5k remaining.
As the pack cross the 5k to go banner Sagan still has 34 seconds advantage and isnt even breaking a sweat. This could be a great victory on the cards.
And he is still alone out front a he crests the last climb. Can anyone catch Sagan on a decent into the finish? Well no. So... will Peter Sagan Crash?
Of course not. Its Peter Sagan. That two races, two wins, the 100% man.

Nakhal Fort to Wadi Dayqah Dam -193.9km
Win is obviously the goal today. More then that, we aim to break the race a bit. Halfway through the day,there is a really steep hill followed by a steep decent. The plan is, not work early. A break will probably go, get a big a lead, but evreyone will wait for us to do the work. And we will. As soon as that ramp comes up. We will hit it hard and hopefully break the pack (and drop Cav and Greipel.
Then its just a case controlling for a full 100k. Hopefully by putting the whole team on the front on the climb, we will have the bodies on the other side to keep any break ahead of what get left behind.
Things were hot early. Lots of break attempts but Lotto and Quickstep were having none of it. As it became clear they were going to get their sprint,
Phinney in the green jersey latches onto a fast moving
Stybar (OPQ) to the front of the pack.
He is smart enough to latch onto Cavendish's wheel and follow him over the line for 2nd at the days first sprint, Griepel took 3rd.
Soon after that, the break got away and fast.
Jiang, Downey, Rosseler (GRS), Degand, Potgieter (MTN) and
Bookwalter (BMC) are the ones to profit from this lack of action.
With the climb approaching, the Red Bull Cannondale boys hit the front hard. Great day for our sponsors.
The team stayed together with Moser leading hard up the climb and the objective achieved as Phinney pushed hard on the downhill. A group of 65 riders had been formed, with Griepel and Cavendish (and Boonen) all dropped out of it. It was now down to
Breschel (TST), Haussler (IAM), Hushovd (BMC) and
Sanchez (BLA) to stop
Sagan . Or maybe even
Cancellara (RST)
As the trains form up with 8k to go, the breakaway is almost caught and it seems like it will be a close fight between us and Saxo-Tinkoff for control of the sprint.
But with 6k to go, its all us as everyone else gets caught up behind the break as usual whilst we fly on through in formation. Nothing is going to stop us now. The pace is not at a very high tempo yet, as everyone is low on energy from the hard pace in the last 100k.
Its still all in our hands at 3k as
Meyer hands over the
Bak
Phinney leads out on the 1.4k mark.
With 1k to go, its looks like a straight fight between
Sagan and
Hushovd
Buts its not a fight as
Sagan starts Hulking up before his even crossed the line the make it three for three, both here and for the season. Can anyone stop Sagan?

Samail - Jabal Al Akhdhar - 137km
Mountain finish. And its a real mountain finish, not one that i can pretend is a hill. Not that it will stop us from trying.
We will try to get a guy in the break, and then see how high we can keep Sagan in the finish. Meyer will be free to go and attack on the finish if his feeling up to it.
Another victory might be a push today. With out team we would never rule it out, but it is most certainly unlikely we feel. If we can retain the leaders jersey we will be very happy.
The days break was formed of
Canuti (BMC), Scheritlinck (ASW), Berhane (EUC), Dekker (GRS), Machado (RLT) and our own Lars Bak, trying to take the burden of working off our shoulders today. They werent allowed to get more then 5 minutes down the road, and that was it for action until the end.
With 7k to go and the climb just starting, the last the the breakaway riders are within grasp. We have plenty of men at the front at this point.
Monfort blows the race apart, pulling out a lead and leaving people dying and trapped in bad postions. Small groups begin to form with 10 second gaps. We are nowhere to be seen.
Meyer has some legs but is being stopped from using them. His going to struggle to catch the front by the time he gets free.
Sorensen (TST) takes the victory, with
Monfort and
Martin taking 2nd and 3rd 26 seconds back.
Meyer manages to grab 5th place, 1'03" down on the leader and wondering what could have been if he hadnt got blocked out on the climb.
Sagan finishes with next big group over the line, 2'01" back and probably just about still in with a chance of the overall.
