Finally the last day in this terrible terrain...

This being a very long race an early break has no chance whatsoever of lasting. That didn’t stop a lot of rider trying to get away though.
100 km to go. 7 riders have been out for about 100 km and they have a gap of 5 minutes at this point. Sarmiento is probably the strongest in the break but he is joined by aging legends like O’Grady and Rebellin.

It can hardly come as a surprise that both Chris and Jakob claim to have another case of bad legs today…

50 km left. Sarmiento, Zabriskie, Montaña and Rebellin have 4’15’’ to the other breakers and 5 minutes to the peloton. With a bit of luck they might actually still have a chance!
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-21-Liege4_zps4c149909.jpg
21 km to go. Sarmiento is now alone in front. 2 minutes ahead of the chaser group of 27 riders including Chris and Nicki but without Jakob.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-21-Liege5_zpsd93ece32.jpg
10 km left and 17 riders are left to fight for the win on this rainy day. Chris suffering behind.

5,5 km to go. Vanendert is trying to get rid of the others. With some luck you might even say…
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-21-Liege7_zps4e9b12a9.jpg
The final km. Vanendert still have a small gap to the chasers, but anything can still happen.

Cunego is coming fast from behind, but the Belgian just manage to hold him off!
Second year in a row for Jelle Vanendert.

Well if anyone hear of a Nordic rider with the talent for this kind of races be sure to let me know...

For now I'm just happy it's over and we can look forward to Tour de Romandie and Giro d'Italia. Those are races much more to our liking!

Himmerland Rundt

I wasn’t here myself, so I won’t go into details with the race but just tell you that in spite of several attacks it ended up in a bunch sprint where Jebjerg placed 3rd in spite of poor form at the moment.

We have changed our approach to these small domestic races this season. As the big team of the North we want to give our home fans some good racing all along the route rather than just dominating the race to pick up an easy win.
Likewise we won't be bringing our top-names to let some of the smaller names show what they've got.

Rumour has is that the UCI is working on a revision of the race calendar.

Some of the less prestigious WT-races might get relegated to continental races and replaced by Continental races.

After a lot of effort we finally managed to get through to the office of UCI-president Pat McQuaid, who gave us this quote:
I cannot comment on rumours but we always try to optimize the calendar and make cycling more popular all over the world.


So pretty much no info there, but we'll take it as a confirmation that the big guys are up to something...
a.bimg.dk/node-images/741/5/604x403-c/5741379-tourdefrance2012.jpg

We also got hold of the two managers of Nordic World Tour teams:
Bjarne Riis, Saxo - Tinkoff:
Well we only really care about the Tour de France so UCI can change whatever they want - I seriously doubt that they'll demote the Tour...

Volvo - STARK:
It sounds interesting. We will race where ever we're asked to.

With the timing of the rumours I have to say that I really hope one or more of the hilly classics will be removed. perhaps to be replaced with a small stage race or something? Anyway I'll just be happy if we can get rid of perhaps Ouest France or one of the Canadian Classics...


Only time will tell how things turn out, but we'll keep you posted as things evolve.

What races do you think will/should be removed from the World Tour and which races are worthy of a promotion?

Brilliant Grin

I would like to see Beijing removed, actually! The early part of UCI calendar is good, I think. From after the Tour, it's less good: Hamburg, Plouay, Canadian classics...

Tour de Romandie

We will send most of our giro-team and the target will be to build race fitness as well as self-confidence. Something much needed for Jakob after a disappointing Ardennes-week

Stage 1: Porrentruy (ITT)
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie_zpsa627c2ea.jpg
We're starting off with a short completely flat prologue. One for the specialists!

i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie1_zpsf30843b1.jpg
Tuft is having a good day in the rain when he sets a strong early time.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie3_zps3f644a06.jpg
Alex Rasmussen is the biggest Danish hope today. He is even less than a second from beating Van Emdens best time this far.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie4_zpsdda1ffc4.jpg
Castroviejo is always a candidate to win when he starts a TT and today is no exception. New best time to the Spaniard.

Boasson Hagen 2 seconds slower...

A national champion is always noticed on a day like this but Pinotti prefer his TT's a bit longer…

Just as Fuglsang was about to start the stage he told me that his legs felt great today! He prefers longer TT’s but still sets provisional 2nd best time.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie8_zpsd4cef05e.jpg
But there comes Tony Martin. No surprise he sets a new best time in goal.

Contador always rides to win, but today he wasn't even close.

Stage 2: Porrentruy – Fleurier

You could say that this doesn’t look like the most decisive stage of the race, but with the route this year that can be said about pretty much every stage…
Ending with a descent going all the way to the line we might be able to do something with Fuglsang if he has a good day?

Lasse Bøchman gets in the early break. Still just warming up though so in spite of chasing the mountain sprints he is not able to take them. With 85 km to go the break has 7 minutes to the peloton.

9 km to go. 11 riders have half a minute to the peloton.

5,4 km to go and Fuglsang makes his move.

He just fails to catch Lowe out front, but still manage to win a few seconds with a nice 3rd place.

For some reason the race organizers gave the peloton the same time as the three out front in spite of them not crossing the line until 20 seconds after Lowe. Jakob did get a few bonus seconds though, so it is not all in vain.

I'll certainly do my best to make sure he does and with this years route I don't think its completely impossible.

Tour de Romandie

Stage 3: Fribourg – Fribourg
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-31_zps64299c1c.jpg
Though categorized as a hilly stage this stage shouldn’t have too much effect on the GC.

i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-32_zpseac3d1a2.jpg
For the second day in a row Lasse gets in the break.
Since Lasse is the best placed rider in the break it relieves us from a lot of work in the peloton. Still with 100 km to go the break only has just under three minutes gap, so they probably won’t make it all the way.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-34_zpsdc83f91e.jpg
Just as the peloton hit the first KOM they catch the break, but Lasse stays in front to pick up the mountain points.
Nothing at all happens before the second climb, so Lasse takes another hard pull over the top to take the lead in the mountain competition.

Everything stays surprisingly quiet and no one lifts a brow when Jakob goes to the front to pick up 6 bonus seconds and 6 points for the points classification.

With 20 km to go four riders try to get away, but my guys did well to keep them within a minute.

Freire takes the stage, but not much time.
Fuglsang loses the yellow jersey today, but shouldn’t have trouble winning back the lost time to Vichot, Moser and Freire in the coming TT and mountain stages.

Stage 4: Moudon – Moudon (ITT)

Since this years Tour de Romandie doesn’t contain a single uphill finish the TT will be very important. Our goal will be to get Jakob back in yellow after this stage.

i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-43_zps272dc184.jpg
Alex Rasmussen sets the time to beat early on. He would look pretty good on a Volvo-jersey…
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-44_zps2a78bbff.jpg
Lasse will not be risking his mountain jersey today, so he can just focus on putting in a good TT without any pressure. In the intermediate he is faster than Rasmussen, but eight seconds slower over the finish line.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-45_zps8464728c.jpg
Castroviejo looked very strong on the prologue, but crashed yesterday so everyone is excited to see how badly he was hurt.
New best time! 12 seconds faster than Clement on second.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-47_zpsbf1c53c2.jpg
Contador hasn’t looked quite as sharp as usual in the race this far. Will the hill help him today?
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-49_zps721dd1d6.jpg
Again today Tony Martin is obviously the big favourite. He sets best intermediate time.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/04-25-Romandie-410_zpscebc9e04.jpg
Right after him comes Fuglsang. Jakob is looking sharp today and is 1 second faster than Martin on the intermediate!
Not surprisingly Tony Martin crushes Castroviejo’s time. Jakob is third 39 seconds slower than the German.

Two jerseys isn't bad, but we will be looking to snatch the GC lead as well on the last two stages.

It's two mountain stages with a downhill or flat finish. Hopefully they will be too hard for Tony Martin but not hard enough for Contador...

Martin will defend that jersey with his life. Should be an exciting battle Grin

Nice result in the TT, only getting beaten by Martin Wink

Come on Fuglsang


 
PCM rulezz
Seems like this is going to be a Fuglsang-Martin battle.
Interesting to see which race will be part of WT next year, I'm hoping for Amgen tour of California Wink
