Milano - Sanremo

i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/03-12-Sanremo1_zpsdd8ba722.jpg

Thereâ€™s a big questionmark on this race for us. Hushovd should be able to do well, but he is lacking a bit of race fitness at the moment.

Lots of riders attacking right from the start but with 300 km of racing today it is a suicide mission. Vodafone is not taking any chances thoughâ€¦

Halfway through the race six strong riders have achieved a gap of 9 minutes. Still a long way to though!

90 km to go and the gap is brought down to 7 minutes. The break is losing time fast at the moment.

23 km to go and the real racing have started. Voeckler, Ballan and Boonen now in front with Vodafone still leading the peloton. Unfortunately none of my guys had the legs to keep up with the big names in the attacks.

5,4 km to go and everything is brought back together. Lars and Thor both in the front group. Anything can happen now!

2,3 km and Lars have brought Thor to a perfect position.

Hushovd does his best to follow Boonen in the sprint, but Milano - Sanremo with cold legs is a tough oneâ€¦

Looks like RadioShack is set on dominating the spring classics.

Not the best result I know, but considering this was his first raceday in a couple of weeks Thor did well just to be present in the finish. This is a horrible race if your not in form!

Well Thor made a great effort for the win after some nice work from Lars to get him into that position

Jakstar:... especially when your out of shape

Ian: He was and that was as much as I could expect after he missed Tirreno due to an illness.

PCM rulezz: Almost there though. Hopefully he'll be ready for the cobbles.

sutty: He did

Dwaars door Vlaanderen

The opening of the cobble-season. Hushovd is still lacking a bit of race fitness, but without RadioShack in the peloton he should still have good chances today.

Everyone just keeps attacking early on. As a result no one is able to make a decent gap.

In the end Jens Erik is the main force when a break finally establishes. With 90 km to go they have 4â€™30â€™â€™ on the peloton.
With 50 km to go Madsen, Borry, Kaupas, Hondo, Rosseler and Rollin have a gap of 4â€™35â€™â€™

30 km and 2â€™32â€™â€™. Vacansoleil taking responsibility in the â€œpackâ€ of 45 riders.

20 km left. Madsen is starting to look tired and 15 rides (including Bak, Hushovd and Jebjerg) is coming fast 1â€™30â€™â€™ behind.

Bak try attacking early, but his attack only acts as stepping stone for a bunch of other riders. 1,5 km to go and Chavanel is in front 27 seconds ahead of Hushovd.

Thor fights the best he has learned but in the end Hondo takes a deserved win after being in the break all day.

I know this is not what most of you expected, but you must remember that this race was mainly for building form.

Lars is looking ready and Thor is showing great improvements, so I am optimistic about E3 Prijs Vlaanderen - Harelbeke and Gent - Wevelgem in the coming week.

Bak tried and Hushovd finished top 10, so a fairly good race all things considered

Ian: Yeah, we probably couldn't have expected much more, but hopefully we'll have more luck in the coming big races.

sutty: He is very consistent. A very valuable asset to the team.

Jakstar: Lets hope so

E3 Prijs Vlaanderen â€“ Harelbeke

First big cobble-race of the season. Weâ€™ll be aiming for a top 3 today.

i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/03-23-E32_zps7e549007.jpg

McDermott tries to get away early on, but the peloton just wouldnâ€™t let him go.

Later on first Jens Erik and then Havard get in the break.

With 40 km to go eight strong cobblers including riders like Breschel and Thomas has a break of 3 minutes to NybÃ¶ and an additional 2â€™30â€™â€™ to a 30-rider group containing most of the big favourites.
Unfortunately only Hushovd was correctly placed when the peloton broke.

Cancellara crash and will probably be out of the finish today. Only time will tell how hard he is hurt for the coming races.

In the front Devenyns and de Clerq attack just as Breschel and a couple of others get a puncture.

No team is strong enough to wheel in the break after the early dissolution of the peloton.

Thomas takes the win in the breaks sprint, while Thor fails to get rid of the other favourites in spite of several attempts.

A very disappointing day for us today. The peloton wouldnâ€™t let any of our decent cobblers get away and in the end they allowed a way too strong break while RadioShack broke the peloton way to early so in the end there was no one to do the work.

Guess this is what happens when one team has both of the main favourites...

We'll have to see if we can take advantage of that in Gent - Wevelgem!

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya

This years route didnâ€™t have a lot of stages, where it was possible to make a difference. That resulted in a very close GC.

Chris did his best and tried attacking on almost every stage, but wasnâ€™t able to gain any of the one and a half minute he was behind in the GC. Similarly Jesper couldnâ€™t find the terrain that would have allowed him to gain a minute in the youth classification.

One thing that did go as we planned though was our trademark. This time it was Nicki SÃ¸rensens turn to win a mountain jerseyâ€¦

Gent â€“ Wevelgem

Last year Thor won. We will be hoping to repeat thatâ€¦

i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q675/AllanHG/Nordic%20Cycling%20Project/2014%20Volvo%20Stark/03-25-Gent3_zpsb5d9a5b7.jpg

We tried to get either Bak or Lindau in the early break but everything we took part in was quickly reeled back in. In the end eight riders managed to get away. None of them with the slightest cobble-skillsâ€¦

As soon as we approached the first cobbled section Devenyns went on the attack from the peloton â€“ and Lars was right in his wheel.
80 km to go and the break has 4 minutes with the gap growing. The peloton is now down to 64 riders. No Falcons lost behind!

As expected Bak and Devenyns leave the others behind on the cobbled section with 54 km to go after having made good use of them on the long flat section. The duo has 4â€™32â€™â€™ to the peloton.

Lars and Dries are working nicely together and with 37 km to go they have almost five minutes to the favourites group. Looks like they might actually make it?

15 km to go and it looks like things will come down to a sprint between Bak and Devenyns as they still have 4â€™26â€™â€™ to the favourites where both Hushovd and McDermott is sitting comfortably while the others do all the hard work.
The Belgian has the most energy left in the end, but Lars does extremely well to get a 2nd place.

Behind Thor is caught in the tactical game trying to avoid pushing the speed too much and thus challenging Bakâ€™s chances. As a result he loses contact with a lot of the other favourites, who a are attacking aggressively. McDermott does his best to get him back in there though.
