Ouch, very strong Tour of Britain squad! 
Kind of surprised to see Cav in 2 CT races though, could this mean that he only rides 1 GT? I guess we will find out! |

Wow. That are some strong squads. Will have a hard time beating you in Omloop and Dunkerque.
Those CT races will cost some race days for Cav. That's a good thing for my team I guess, less clashes with Cav

After a while of tough training I am back and I am sooooooo exited for this season. My main rivals are team In-n-out where my uncle and dad are some of the D.S.s. One rider I really want to beat this year in the hills are guys like Maxim Iglinski, Joe Dombrowski and Chris horner. In the cobbles I hope to be the best american cobbler. |

Ok, I have to say I underestimated your TDU team, Bouhanni is harvesting quite some points. He won't win, but he's the most consistent second row sprinter .

Tour Down Under - A Review
The opening race of the season has just concluded in Adelaide, Australia. Yes its the TDU, the inaugural UCPCL race. Its history has been one for the strong sprinters but is becoming harder year on year. We sent a long a youngish squad with a focus on sprints. Our goal was to grab a stage win, and that responsibility was to lie with Bouhanni. It was an ambitious goal at a race with Greipel, Veenhoff and Goss.
Stage 1 - This saw Van K out on an early attack, even if her couldn't get into the break. Bouhanni edged a close fought 4th behind the big three.
Stage 2 - The whole teams slipped back on the finishing hills on an unremarkable day for the team.
Stage 3 - Konovlovas was on the move early, but failed to get away. We avoided late crashes, as Bouhanni took 5th place
Stage 4 - Van K gets into the break today, and puts in a nice ride. Bouhanni hangs on over Menglers hill to grab 9th in the sprint
Stage 5 - Bouhanni gets into the break, knowing he wouldn't factor at the finish. A day to sit back and enjoy the action.
Stage 6 - Van K got into the break. He then set about ruining Houle's race by stealing the KoM in dramatic fashion on the races final climb!
Highest GC - 80th Bouhanni @17'23
Highest Points - 23rd Bouhanni 4pts
Highest KoM - 1st Van Kiersbulck 46pts
Highest Youth - 20th Bouhanni @16'04
Team - 17th @52'31
So in summary, a few breaks, a few top10's and the KoM jersey. Maybe not what we set as a goal, but it's certainly not to be sniffed at. And considering that the teams big names are still training things are looking good for the upcoming races.
Van Kiersbulck on the podium, and hopefully not for the last time
