@batista: Considering the riders around him in the end, it was a good result for him I waited for Moser to start his sprint, and by that time, Ulissi and Gatto were in full flow. Lesson learnt for next time
@yves: He is slowly winding down for May, before trying to peak for Italian National Champs, so 4th is a good result for someone not on form

April Review - WorldTour Results
Vuelta Ciclista al Paid Vasco
Movistar's Alejandro Valverde was the King of the Basque Country, as he took home the victory. Consistany was the key for the Spaniard, winning the Overall GC ahead of Roman Kreuziger (TST) and Rui Costa (MOV).

Amstel Gold Race
With the Cobbled Classics out the way, it was time for the Ardennes to take the limelight. World Champion Philippe Gilbert (BMC) sprinted to victory on top of the Cauberg, just ahead of Roman Kreuziger (TST). Maxim Iglinskiy (AST) completed the podium, 18" behind Gilbert.

Euskatel's Igor Anton caused an upset in Belgium, as he outsprinted the main favourites to take the win in La Fleche Wallonne. Rigoberto Uran (SKY) and Dan Martin (GRS) completed the podium, with World Champion Philippe Gilbert unable to pull off the same performance from Amstel Gold.

Consistent results and a victory in the final ITT was enough to give Vincenzo Nibali in Romandie, as he continued his build up to the Giro d'Italia. Alejandro Valverde, who led the GC at numerous points during the race, finished 2nd, 16" behind Nibali, with Nairo Quintana (MOV) rounding off the podium.

Great result for Villella, no shame in losing to that trio. Maybe he let them win, if they promised to join the team next year.
Movistar was really strong in the tours in April. Anton winning Fleche is a bit surprising.
Did the team apply for any wildcards? I don't remember. |

@mvh: As you know, Moser is a prime target Movistar looking very strong so far this season. Not really seen anything from Sky in the WT races. Wildcards were applied for all WT races, except TdU and the cobbled classics. All wildcards have been rejected :/
@sutty: still at the top, but with the GTs about to start, that could all change very quickly...

Vuelta a la Comunidad de Madrid
4th May 2013
Our first race of a very small month of riding is in Spain, at the Vuelta a la Comunidad de Madrid.
With Remy injured, and Davide resting for the month, leadership duties fell to Adam Yates, who was trying to balance racing on the Continent and the Premier Calendar.
In the fight for a high finish on the stage, Adam will be support by Linus Gerdemann and Dan Fleeman.
The rest of the team is completed by inexperience and youth. Damien Howson and Nathan Earle will ride just to keep the legs loose, whilst Damien Monier and Fredrik Ludvigsson will work as domestiques over the year stages of the race.
Trent Lowe is the final man, and will look to head up the road in the day's break.
Sponsor Goal: N/A
Team Goal: Top 20 finish
10 riders made up the early breakaway, with Lowe being the Rapha man who managed to get himself up the road.
The break stay off the front of the peleton until the first climb before the end of the stage, Astana turned on the burners.
3km from the end, and it was a dominant display from Astana. Aru and Dyachenko attacked off the front, with Chernetskiy (KAT) the only rider to follow them.
On the line, Aru takes the win, with Chernetskiy taking second ahead of Dyachenko. Evgeni Petrov (TST) caught the trio on the line, but had to settle for 4th. Adam Yates was the highest Rapha-Bianchi finisher in 12th.

Rund um Koln
12th May 2013
Today, I feel like I need to be in two place at once. We have one team here in Germany, whilst our British contingent try to continue their great form in the Premier Calendar in Lincoln.
Linus Gerdemann leads the team in Koln, where the hilly course should suit him nicely. Nathan Earle, Trent Lowe and Fredrik Ludvigsson will provide support and back up.
Should the race end in a sprint, Caleb Ewan will look to be the main man in the end, with Philip Lavery, Damien Monier and Rasmus Quaade working as his lead-out.
Sponsor Goal: N/A
Team Goal: Top 10
Race Report
Ralf Matzka (Team NetApp-Endura) took the victory in Koln, outsprinting his fellow breakaway man Evan Olipahnt (Raleigh). Florian Monreal (Quantec - Indeland) completed the podium, as the day's break made it all the way to the end.
Despite late attacks from Nathan Earle and Linus Gerdemann, it was a bad day for Rapha-Bianchi, which also saw Philip Lavery abandon the race with a possible fractured arm.

University of Lincoln GP
12th May 2013
Round 3 of the Premier Calendar, and we head to Lincoln looking to extend our lead at the top of the Standings.
Fresh from his great finish in Spain, Adam Yates will lead the team, with Simon Richardson, Tom Southam and Simon Yates adding further presence over the several climbs in Lincoln.
Dan Fleeman will work as domestique, along with Dan Lloyd. Rene Mandri and Jonny Bellis complete the squad.
Sponsor Goal: N/A
Team Goal: Top 5
Tom Scully (Raleigh) broke away to a great win in Lincoln, finishing ahead of Tomas Metcalfe (Banco BIC) and Eric Young (Optum).
The Australian was part of the day's early breakaway, along with Simon Yates, which gained over 7 minutes on the peleton. Yates looked to battle Scully to the win, but a fall 6km from the finish meant he had to settle for 7th.

@sutty: It was a weaker field to what we are used to, but still a good display from Adam.

@sutty: The breakaway was not the strongest. Yates split the group on every cobbled climb of Michael's Gate. He was 12th when he got up from fall, so you can see just how much time he made up. Richardson was a late last lap attack and he still caught the remnants of the break.
