One of the smaller hilly classics. For us the race is mainly warmup towards Tour of Britain and the World Championships.

It’s a very chaotic start with a lot of riders wanting to break away and just as many failing. Among the most active our stagiaire Brian Steen Matzen (you know, the completely superior winner of the U23-ranking).

Bøchman brilliantly fights his way into the first group to get a gap of more than a minute.

For a long time RadioShack keep them close.

Slowly they manage to pull away from the peloton and with 100 km to go they have five minutes to the peloton. By far not enough...

And then RadioShack start getting help in front of the peloton and the break is doomed.

All the way to the finish RadioShack, Vacansoleil and Sky keep a high speed, so when the sprint starts Hushovd is only just hanging in there in the front group.

Pineau takes the win and home-favourite Hesjedal is 9th.

Not the best result, better luck in the next race


Winners never quit, quitters never win.

It's difficult not to be happy when you're surrounded by Belgians. - Mark Cavendish

It was a hard race so not a bad result

A tough day at the office for Hushovd Frown

Very quiet day...

Tour of Britain

Last year the race had a very surprising winner in Daniel Kreutzfeldt.
This year our sponsors want us to get a GC top 10 – and the only way we know to get that is to chase the win…
Still we have no riders in perfect shape at the moment, so we’ll see how fit the competition is.

Stage 1: Rochdale-Blackpool
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-11_zpsc37a878f.jpg
Looks like a day for the sprinters, and I expect Sky will make sure it is…

Stevenson get in the first break of the tour on this rainy day outside Rochdale

The peloton aren’t too happy about it though and Orica – GreenEdge organize the hunt early on.

When the break is caught An Post - Sean Kelly take over in front of the peloton leading everyone down the winding roads of the English countryside.

Looks like something have gone into the Swedes today as Ludvigsson attack with 67 km to go.

No one seems to be willing/able to catch him but the chase leave small holes in the peloton behind nonetheless.

Tobias gets the mountain jersey for his trouble, but in the end the peloton is coming to fast from behind.

With 5 km to go Borry is 28 seconds ahead of the peloton. With nice broad roads we should be able to catch him.
For some reason Jebjerg refused to take Duques wheel when the sprint opens. Geraint Thomas finds a nice spot in the Columbians wheel.

Thor does very well, in spite of the terrible leadout job by Jebjerg, while the audience is so thrilled of the home victory that they can’t even move!

Stage 2: Stoke-on-Trent

I expect this to be a very chaotic stage where it will be easy to lose a lot of time, but hard to win much.

i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-22_zps607de5c6.jpg
As expected the start is very chaotic. The riders failed to hit the break so I told them to put the pressure on in front of the peloton instead. Let’s see if we can shake someone.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-23_zps5d166099.jpg
When we approach the mountain sprints the peloton is down to 99 riders. After the sprint we are down to 22 riders in the front group. Looks like our strategy is starting to have an effect…
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-24_zpsb85601ec.jpg
30 km to go and back on flat terrain the peloton has grown to 63 riders once again.

The other teams seem quite content to let us do all the work, so with 10 km to go I tell Bak to attack and everyone else to lay off…
The move wasn’t quite as successful as I had dreamt it and with 3 km to go Lars is brought back in.

Geraint Thomas gave the following comment:
Of course I'm ecstatic to be doing so well in this race.
I do get a lot of motivation from all the fans along the road and I would like to dedicate this last stage to a special fan. A guy who goes under the name sutty68 and has done a lot to raise awareness about Welsh cycling.

Totally honoured to get a mention from the Great Geraint Thomas Grin

 
Atlantius
Thanks for the support
Daggen: He will surely aim to get something, but with him being decently placed in the GC as well he has more than one opportunity...

PCM rulezz: Yeah, just too bad Thomas is better Wink

Jakstar: Certainly a good start, now we just have to finish it in the next couple of hilly stages.

Ian: Thanks Smile

sutty: You deserve it Wink

With a small hill short before the finish this might very well be the most decisive stage for the GC

i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-32_zps3a1365c4.jpg
Riis gets in the early break and wins the first KOM of the day.

With 100 km to go Orica – GreenEdge have had enough and the break is no longer.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-34_zps83fb6645.jpg
30 km to go and Stevenson is in front with C. Jones. Four minutes ahead of the favourites.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-35_zps5b33d7d0.jpg
20 km to go and Sky have been forced to the front as Stevenson is in the virtual lead with a margin of almost three minutes.
With the chance of taking the GC lead I told Christofer to give it all he head – no matter if it cost the stage.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-36_zpsec7f373a.jpg
5 km to go and the duo enter the last climb with a lead of nearly two minutes.

As expected Jones get rid of Stevenson short before the finish.

Stage 4: Minehead-Teignmouth
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-41_zpsbb3ea73b.jpg
Some hard hills today, but mostly on the first half of the stage, so I don’t think they will be of much importance. The small hills in the finish might though…

Just because we have the GC lead it doesn’t mean we’re done chasing glory so Jesper Hansen went in the early break hoping to win back the mountain jersey to the team after Jones stole it yesterday.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-42_zpsb9beda95.jpg
First hill and first KOM win.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-43_zpscbcccfc1.jpg
Same story on the second hill only this time he didn’t have to fight as hard. By now the break has built a lead of almost ten minutes to the peloton.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-44_zpsfc3593c3.jpg
Since Jesper is the by far best placed rider in the break it’s not really a problem for us that they have gotten such a big lead so Endura has taken the lead in the peloton and with decent effect. With 80 km to go only 52 riders are left in the peloton and the gap has been reduced to 5 and a half minute.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-46_zps8a15371a.jpg
As we go under the 20 km mark the break is officially past. Several other riders try to revive it, but both Sky and we are determined to get a sprint finish.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-47_zpscd37f618.jpg
The attacks just keep coming and with less than 2 km to go a small group has gotten a small gap on a steep hill no team organizes a hunt but Thor goes on the attack to catch them.
i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/Falcon%20STARK%202013/09-09-Britain-48_zps73fae203.jpg
We never quite get hold of them in spite of a strong finish by Hushovd and in stead the locals get another home victory.

What used to be a peloton is torn into a bunch of smaller groups, but my guys did well and now we only lack the points jersey for complete domination…

Damn that stage 3 spoiler Pfft
Hushovd doing miracles Grin

 
PCM rulezz
Things are looking good so far Wink


Winners never quit, quitters never win.

It's difficult not to be happy when you're surrounded by Belgians. - Mark Cavendish


 
dienblad
Hushovd is looking great in the GC!!

sutty68
So glad to see Thor get the Leaders jersey Grin

The challenge now is to keep it until the finish, although he does have back up in Stevenson in second place Smile

 
Jakstar22
Doing very well so far. Hushovd takes the overall lead. Very nice


 
Atlantius
Ian: Well now I know that you look in the spoilers at least... - and miracles is exactly what I signed Hushovd for Wink

PCM rulezz: Off to a good start, but there's still plenty of bonus seconds on the last four flat stages so nothing is decided yet...

dienblad: What can I say - he just keeps performing when I need him to. Should be a candidate for best WT-signing of the year Smile

sutty: So am I Wink If Geraint continues his strong sprinting on the last four flat stages he could still end up becoming a problem though...

Jakstar: Thanks Grin
