Thanks
In a few minutes I will post the 4th stage

Sounds good

Tour of California Stage 4


Today's stage started from the middle of a forest


Martin, Wiggins and Pinotti leading the bunch


Tony Martin accelerates a little bit and he already catches some breakaway riders that aren't good on hilly terrain


3rd in the overall rankings, Matej Jurco isn't a good climber so he lost the contact with the bunch


A favourite is down!!!! It's Johan Vansummeren


The final climb starts with a lot of atacks. Michael Rogers goes there to control them


A breakaway rider is still in front!! It's Jakob Fuglsang


The favourites didn't understand and Fuglsang it's going to win the stage


Fuglsang celebrating the win. Did he enough to take the overall lead?


No, he didn't. Lovkvist finishes 3rd and mantains his position.

In this picture Sevilla loked like finishing second but he was only 4th because he overtake Lovkvist and Voeckler after the finish

Fuglsang

He will lose a lot of time in the TT (he has only 57 at TT).
But a win is a win. 'cause he impressed me today I'll try to concede his signature for the next season

Go and crush them all in the TT with Lövkvist now!

Don't forggot this stage


I could lose or win time there. But if I don't lose time Lovkvist is the winner 'cause the next best timetrialist is Thomas Dekker at 1'39"

I'm sure that you will win TOC Can't wait for the next stage

I'll play and post it tonight. Not sure if I can do that with the TT also

I'm not sure yet. Maybe the Vuelta

All I need to say is LÖVET!

Next race is Trofeo Laigueglia.
The team:
Kim Kirchen
Lars Boom
Morris Possoni
Craig Lewis
John Devine
Vicente Reynes

That's a strong team, Good Luck!
