Tour of Georgia Stage 5
Nothing important before the hard climb of the day, where after 7km Boom, Martin and Pinotti lost the contact with the main group
Gerdemann, Siutsou + 16 other riders are now in front of the race
Vandevelde, Siutsou and Colom attack. Toni looks behind and no one else is coming
Gerdemann is waiting for Julich's move
Julich is too lazy today to attack so Gerdemann couldn't waiting anymore makes the big move
Meanwhile Colom and Vandeveld have left behind Siutsou
Colom sprints away from Vandevelde in the last km
And he wins
A good performance for our East guy
Gerdemann is fourth, loosing the yellow jersey after making the bad decision to wait for Julich and not to go with Colom and Vandevelde when he had the oportunity

May Calendar
The month of May will be dominate by the first GT of the year, the Giro d'Italia which starts on 10th. Except Giro, Tour de Romandie and Volta a Catalunya which are in the PT calendar we will just go in Spain for Subida al Naranco and in Belgium for this country's tour to practice our sprint

for now the list is:
Leader: Siutsou
Sprint: Wiggins, Boom, Greipel, Cavendish
Italians: Pinotti, Possoni
I'm still thinking for the 2 places left
One of them almost sure will be Martin

Liege-Bastogne-Liege
Of course we had a breakaway, but nothing important
After the many hills of the course only 8 riders could maintain themselves is front:Alejandro Valverde, Stefan Schumacher, Davide Rebellin, Thomas Dekker, Jens Voigt, Karsten Kroon, Kim Kirchen and Paolo Bettini
Just 10km to go and Bettini, Voigt and Schumacher aren't there anymore
Kroon managed to take Dekker's wheel when Thomas attacked
Kroon is hardly seen by Dekker wich is in the seconde position now
Kroon wins in Liege
The big loosers of the day: Rebellin, Valverde and Kirchen
Again a poor performance by Kim Kirchen in Ardennes

You can hardly call 4th in Liege "poor", but it's too bad you didn't win Good luck in the giro

Tour of Georgia Final Stage
Wiggins is in the breakaway......again!!!
With 15km to the line the breakaway was 5minutes in front of the pack, so Flens and Wiggins attacked and made a huge gap between them and the others escapes
Just 4km and Flens doesn't want to work anymore so Bradley attacks and tries to make the bigest gap he can
And he does it. Bradley wins the second stage in this tour
Stage: Bradley Wiggins [Team Columbia]
Points: Bradley Wiggins [Team Columbia] 68pts
Mountain: Lars Boom [Team Columbia] 108pts
Young: Linus Gerdemann [Team Columbia]
Teams: Team Columbia [USA]
And the final TOP 10:
