yeah but I hope it's only because bad early form and the wind

February Calendar

GP Cycliste la Marseillaise

2008: Allan Davis Mitsubishi
2009: Lars Boom Team Columbia

Interesting breakaway group with guys like Ardila, Julich, Fuglsang and De La Fuente


Ardila crashed on the downhill, while trying to keep it up with the fast pace set by Fuglsang, and he was caught by the pack


Fuglsang and Julich started the last hill of the day together, 30 seconds advantage over the pack


Julich cracked and he was caught while Fuglsang was caught right at the end of the uphill section


So now that Fuglsang is out of business is Boom's time to try something. Just like last year he is trying to make a difference on the downhill and then maintain in to the finish line


And he got away... 5 seconds advantage before the last kilometre and he seems to be able to make it


All the sprinters in the pack are coming really fast but it seems pretty much imposible to stop Boom now


Lars gets the win and he defends the title won last year

Get the GC 1st with Fuglsang, will you

yeah that was the idea with Fuglsang but LL Sanchez is also here...

Tour de Langkawi Stage 1


Only one escape today. It's Philip Thuaux


With 3km to go Ignatiev is in a good position. Van Heerden and Cavendish are behind him


When the sprint starts Ignatiev is clearly in control


Last corner... Van Heerden is now leading the pack for Cavendish


Then Cavendish makes his move and nobody can come after him


Cavendish takes the win after a great lead-out from Ignatiev and Van Heerden

Try to support him in the mountains so he could take it, would be really nice
And try to win every sprint with Cav

Wich shirt is it Cavendish have?

He is the Brit National Champion

Off course, think the flag on it is more like Luxenbourg or something
Great story

Yeah, the shirt is weird. Maybe you could change it

well I think it's the only version made

Great start to season Alex!

Why don't make a new version whit a union jack?



Yes keep it like that!

Looking good for Columbia! =)
