Well, erm, I'm probably not the one to ask. I mean, I'm sure Quintana is doing it but other than that, no idea. Knockout's your man. Believe it or not, he also has a HQ. Coincidence.

The second part of the season kicks off with one of the biggest races of the season, Ronde van Vlaanderen; the infamous one day race in Belgium. A week later, it's the "Hell of the North", Paris Roubaix, the third monument of the season and, arguably, the biggest of the lot. In between, the peloton descend on the cycling-mad Basque Country for six hard days of racing in the Vuelta al Pais Vasco. BMC Racing can reveal their teams for these races, as we hope to get off to a great start.

After a short break, the season got straight back in to full swing, with the second monument of the season, Ronde van Vlaanderen. If cycling is a religion in Belgium, then this is the Holy pilgrimage, with every Belgian rider wanting to perform in front of the thousands of fans lining the roads. As with the previous year, the race would be decided on the new course, with three laps of the Oude Kwaremont-Paterberg double punch.
As with the previous cobbled classics, BMC were very willing to co-operate with Omega Pharma and Radioshack as the morning breakaway was slowly reeled in on the "easy" part of the course. Hushovd, Oss, Phinney and Burghardt putting in big shifts on the front.
As Radioshack and then OPQS set about whittling down the peloton on the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg, Ballan got caught out too far back in the bunch and lost any chance he had in the race. Disappointing again from the experienced Italian. But Van Avermaet was in no mood to disappoint in the biggest race of his season. Cheered on by the fanatic home support, Greg put in a big attack with still 50 kilometres to go. It was an ambitious and brave move but he had to try something to beat the OPQS horde behind him.
As he set off in pursuit of the finish line, Greg had to conquer the weather, the cobbles and eventually, crippling fatigue as he hit the top of the Paterberg for the final time with a gap of barely thirty seconds on Boonen.
Yet, somehow, from somewhere, Greg dug deep and found some reserves of energy that must have a word in Flemish. This was his best chance to win De Ronde; something most Belgians, if not all of them must dream about every day. He kept churning away at the pedals, the line coming closer with each painful stroke.
Just five kilometres remain and Van Avermaet is actually pulling away from Boonen. A remarkable ride and, perhaps, a changing of the guard in Belgian cycling. The crowd don't care about that though, they know that they are witnessing a Belgian 1-2 in their beloved race. Boonen admits defeat and starts taking in the atmosphere, waving to his multitude of fans. He has a huge gap back to the rest.
And Greg Van Avermaet completes what will almost certainly be the best day of his cycling career. With a magnificent 50km solo ride, he has won De Ronde! Incredible, absolutely incredible! Way behind, Sagan completes the podium with another third place, with Cancellara only managing fifth.
When I was reading the report and I got to the part GVA attacked, I was thinking "what are you doing?! I only need a top 10, you're going to get caught and blown straight out the back door"! Lucky he knew what he was doing. That was a +5 day if ever I've seen one.

The race opened with a typical Basque stage; lots of short, steep climbs before a downhill finish. Frank went on the attack not long before the final climb of the day along with three other strong climbers but this move didn't succeed and he was brought back soon after.
With no real sprinter left in the group and Evans out of position, BMC just cruised across the line as Kwiatkowski just beat Moreno on the line. Evans was our best finisher in 29th as we got four riders home in the main group.

Stage 2
A "flat" stage with five categorised climbs, this was the easiest stage of the race and so the only chance for a sprinter to get a top result, though it would have to be a sprinter who could deal with lots of climbs.
BMC had a very quiet day in the bunch, not showing our faces all day. As expected, the stage proved too hard for our sprinters, so Nerz was given a chance to show his kick and picked up a solid 13th place, with the rest of our riders finishing safely in the bunch.

Stage 3
The race really kicked off with the third stage, the first of two summit finishes, which would be a key deciding factor in the race. However, stage four is harder and so most GC riders would be looking to take it a bit easier today in preparation for something big tomorrow.
And that was certainly the case as the breakaway made it to the end, with Mourey of FDJ taking the stage win and the overall lead, much to everyone's surprise. Kelderman was the big winner today as he attacked out of the main group to gain 24 seconds on Kwiatkowski and over 40 seconds on the rest.
For BMC it was another extremely quiet day, with nothing seen or heard of our riders all day. However, Nerz, Morabito and Evans all finished in the top 20 to stay in overall contention, as does Frank, who finished way back but still inside the main group.

Stage 4
The Queen stage of the race finished in Eibar with the usual hard climb to decide things. With four of our guys less than a minute down on GC, at least one of them would have to do something today to get into a good position ahead of the final ITT.
Once again, it was Frank being ambitious as he put in an attack with over 30 kilometres still to go. Unfortunately, he was joined by Sanchez and he couldn't stick with the Spaniard, who of course, had lots of motivation in his team's home race. The Swiss rider was soon back in the bunch and it was now up to Evans.
However, the Australian had already missed the key split and had to make his way to the finish in a small group with yesterday's star performer Kelderman, as well as Costa. Kiserlovski took a very surprising stage win, with Evans finishing in 11th, 51 seconds after the front group. This moves him into the top ten with two stages to go.

Stage 5
The final road stage marked the final realistic opportunity for a stage win and the final chance to get back into GC contention for Cadel Evans.
However, the stage was another disaster. There really is nothing to say about this race except for the fact that Evans is somehow still inside the overall top 10. This despite the fact that he has been harder to spot than a Snow Leopard in the Basque Country.
Just the ITT remains, which will hopefully enable him to stay inside the top ten and maybe even move up a position or two.

Stage 6
The final stage here in the Basque Country is a 24km ITT, which gives the good time triallists the chance to gain back vital seconds on the pure climbers.
As it turned out, Contador already had enough of an advantage as he won the overall, with Costa coming close, but not close enough, with the stage win.
Evans gave another anonymous performance but the commissaires are sure that BMC did take part in the race, with Cadel just hanging on for a tenth place finish apparently, even though we didn't see him. We need more from our climbers!
The monuments are coming thick and fast now and after a short break, the team was back in action in France for Paris - Roubaix, "The Hell of the North". After an incredible win in De Ronde, the riders were on a high and with no pressure now on them, they were told to 'enjoy' the day and to wait and see what would happen at the end.
This led to a very quiet day with our riders just sitting in the bunch, waiting until the big teams whittled the group down. Ballan, Van Avermaet and Phinney were the only BMC riders present in the main selection.
While BMC took it easy in what was left of the peloton, Cancellara was in a very aggressive mood as he looked to make up for his disappointment last week, continually following Gaudin when the Frenchman attacked. This was beyond strange but neither of them got anywhere and Cancellara's day would prove even worse than De Ronde.
Vanmarcke of Belkin tried the same tactic as Van Avermaet last week as he attacked early and hoped for indecision behind. It looked like it wouldn't work with numerous attacks and a high pace from Omega Pharma.
Phinney could no longer stay with the elite as a group of six riders left the rest behind, with the other two BMC riders in here. It was looking good for us but we just had to catch Vanmarcke.
In the end, nobody, not even the great Tom Boonen, could reel Vanmarcke back in, as the Belgian claimed a great win. Langeveld outsprinted Boonen for second, while Van Avermaet finished a fantastic cobbled classics campaign by beating Roelandts to fourth.

The focus of the season now shifts from cobbles to hills and mountains as we approach the end of the Spring Classics. After a very strong cobbles campaign, including a monument victory, can Gilbert continue where compatriot Van Avermaet left off? With three races in Belgium (De Brabantse Pijl, La Fleche Wallonne, Liege Bastogne Liege) and one in the Netherlands (Amstel Gold Race), we certainly hope so. Meanwhile, we also have six riders testing their climbing legs in the brutal Giro del Trentino in Northern Italy as Cadel has one last warm-up for the Giro d'Italia in a month's time. Here are our teams for these races:
Marcus Burghardt
Philippe Gilbert

The first of the three 'Ardennes Classics', the Amstel Gold Race is the biggest race in the Netherlands and the best preparation for La Doyenne next week, with the distance and the amount of climbing. Naturally, therefore, we were hoping for a strong result by Gilbert and a good rehearsal by the rest of the team, especially Van Avermaet.
However, Philippe managed to hit the tarmac early on in the race, like many others, as the rain fell. He made it back in to the main group but this was certainly not ideal as he tended to his road rash at the doctor's car. Schär also crashed as the team had a bit of a disaster, not for the first time this season.
Fortunately for us, Gilbert didn't need any team mates as he made it in to the elite selection, alongside Rodriguez and Valverde. Betancur was also there but couldn't hang on as the two Spaniards rattled along.
Despite his battling performance, Gilbert could not stick with these two on the final ascent of the Cauberg as Purito took the win, comfortably beating Valverde to the line. Gilbert was caught by Henao in the end but was able to hold him off in the sprint to claim a podium finish. The rest of the team disappointed.

As the first Grand Tour of the season approaches, it's time for Cadel Evans to prove his worth in the Giro d'Italia. Before then, though, the team race on home soil in one of our biggest races of the season, the Tour de Romandie. But there is still something for the non-climbers as seven riders take on the tough roads of Northern France in the 4 Jours de Dunkerque. Here are BMC's teams for these three races:

After the Gold Race, it was time to hop over the border to Belgium for La Fleche Wallonne, and the annual meeting with the infamous Mur de Huy. Philippe Gilbert was hoping to improve on his third place in Valkenburg, as well as hoping to stay on the bike for the whole race. Once again, there was no BMC presence in the breakaway as the team rallied around Gilbert, keeping him safe where he needed to be.
And when the race started to heat up behind, it was the World Champion doing a lot of the damage as he was testing his rivals' legs on the climbs and the flat. This big attack blew the peloton to pieces and a small group of elite favourites made the front group that would battle for the win.
And as this group hit the brutal Mur de Huy for the final time, Dan Martin of Garmin was the first rider to kick off, hoping to gain a few metres while the rest were looking at each other. However, Gilbert, Valverde and Sagan were not going to be gotten rid of that easily, though Uran and Betancur did struggle to respond.
As the leaders went under the flamme rouge, it was Sagan who took up the charge, but Gilbert and Valverde were still there as was Martin, who had surely got nothing left now. Did Gilbert have the speed to beat the Slovakian superstar?
No, not quite. The Belgian missed out by inches. Agony for him and the team, and no doubt, the home fans. Still an improvement from the Gold Race and if that trend continues, the win will come in Liege.

The final race of the Ardennes classics is undoubtedly the biggest, Liege-Bastogne-Liege. The fourth monument of the season is usually a battle between the puncheurs but sometimes early attacks can be successful. The morning breakaway would almost certainly not be, but Oss thought he would go anyway as he took the pressure off the team by joining the early escape.
In the peloton, with the team able to sit back and rely on other teams to bring the leaders back, Gilbert got caught out too far back, which really is unforgivable for a man of his experience and ability. This small split didn't last long but it was worrying that we were caught out so easily.
As the peloton hit La Redoute, Gilbert somehow managed to get dropped again, in front of his own fan club! This is Philippe's backyard and for him to be caught out like this was really not good enough.
Up ahead, Sagan went on the attack, quickly catching and dropping the breakaway riders, including Oss, who was still battling on after a long, hard day. Daniel was enjoying a day without domestique duties but would unfortunately be caught by the main bunch before the end and finish well down.
In the end, Sagan proved unbeatable as he continued his great form from La Fleche Wallonne. Betancur and Valverde completed the podium with late attacks. Gilbert put in a fantastic final few kilometres and then won the sprint for fourth against Martin and Rodriguez but his performance was not good enough when all is said and done. We came here hoping for a win for our sponsors and Philippe didn't even give himself a chance by being lazy and not concentrating. 2011 seems a long time ago now.

With no Cancellara (for me) or Van Avermaet (for you) in Dunkerque it will be interesting to see which of our teams will end up with the better results there.
- Nice consistent results for BMC in the Ardennes ( If Evans puts in a good Giro, the team must be bound to top the rankings after this part is done with.)
