Clasica de San Sebastian
The day's breakaway.
After Alto de Jaizkibel a group of something like 30 riders is in front
Barredo, Kirchen, Popovych and Valverde are trying to make the difference on Alto de Gurutze
But the others are after them
So still a big group in front but only half of the riders that were in front on Alto de Jaizkibel surveived on this small hill.
5km to go and they are still togheter
But sudenly Kirchen attacks
Schleck goes with him
It will be between Schleck and Kirchen
Bettini and the others are too far.
Kirchen is looking better in the sprint
And yes, Kirchen wins Clasica de San Sebastian!
Results
1. Kim Kirchen Team Columbia 5h39'55
2. Fränk Schleck Team CSC - Saxo Bank s.t.
3. Paolo Bettini Quick·Step s.t.
4. David Herrero Karpin Galicia s.t.
5. Óscar Pereiro Caisse d'Epargne s.t.

Its just like real life! Columbia unbeatable in the sprints!
I'll be very interested to see how you do with Lovkvist in the Vuelta. He was my leader in my first season and I found it really hard to keep him in contention with the leaders. Good luck!

Words to live by

He will probably be like Siutsou in Giro doing well at the start and then loosing time . Still he is better in TT's and Sta, Rec or Res which is an advantage over Siutsou

Post Danmark Rundt Stage 3
McGee is the first big leader of the race
Hoste can't beat him
But Zabriskie can and he does it. He is the new leader
Lovkvist could win today
But he is just second at the finish
Hagen is way faster than Ciolek today
Grabsch finishes with the third time
Boom is not in top 10
Hagen has a nice time, but he will loose the yellow jersey

No, at least no untill the champions jersey with Scott as a sponsor and other stuff like that. I was thinking to race the last race of the season in it, like a special jersey for the champions( yes we will be the champs in everything )
