Probably not, no.
Anyway, goals:

They are all very hard, especially the ToC one, but hopefully we'll manage to do them. |

Tour Down Under Stage 1
Our first of the season and this is our squad:
Beyer nearly managed to get the early KOM sprint, but was just outsprinted by De La Fuente of Fuji-Servetto. In attacking he got himself in the break of the day. In the end though they were as expected caught.
We have a few riders with sprinting ability's but only Zberg can hang on with the big guys. The sprint happens and Benatti wins!
What's that? Zberg is up there! A great performance by the swiss veteran!

Tour Down Under Stage 2
Today there was only one man in the break and that was Michiel Elijzen of Silence Lotto.
As epected he was caught, and as expected Zberg was the only rider of ours who could stay up with the major riders.
Zberg followed a Milram rider, he wasn't sure who, and when he looked behind him he saw the ochre jersey of a certain Daniele Benatti. As the sprint began Zberg opened to follow someone further up the field before opening completely. When he opened comletely, with about 1K left, Benatti opened too. It soon became obvious the winner would come from these two. It was gonna be close too.
To close.
To close to celebrate anyway.
Somehow Zberg had held out one of the best sprinters in the world. A beautiful performance from the Swiss champion

Tour Down Under Stage 4
Nothing like yesterdays wind, we sent Moos out all day, and to out dismay, noone followed.
He took the mountain sprint on Near Palmer and then took the 2 sprints, but was caught at 25K to go.
Zberg followed Barredo, not really thinking as he was high up. But Barredo moved down and Zberg was a long way down. Frantcally he chased Benatti's wheel to try and bring him back up, but he never quite got back up. Allan Davis won the stage.
