I'm very happy to announce you some renewed contracts!!
Coen Vermeltfoort, Martijn Maaskant, Marcel Kittel, and................. Andy Schleck have signed new contracts, all for 2 more years at the Monster team!!!
A 1.1 race in the French speaking part of Belgium, with in the final a circuit of 15km (4 laps) including the very steep Tienne du Dragon, 600metres with an average gradient of 12.9% in cobbles and a maximum gradient of over 16%!!
Our tactic: try to be in the BOTD, so we don't have to work in the peloton. Maybe the BOTD stays away, but when it doesn't then we have 3-4 riders who can attack. So the goal is obvious: victory!
And the first part of the tactic is succesful: Joost Posthuma is in a 9-man breakaway. Together with riders as Daniel Martin (Garmin), Bjorn Selander (Radioshack) and Jens Mouris (Vacansoleil), the lead while climbing the Tienne du Dragon for the first time is over 4 minutes!
In the second climb, with 38km to go the Dutch duo Posthuma and Mouris ride away from the others. The lead tot the peloton is still 3'54.
In the peloton, we see an attack of Preben van Hecke (Topsport Vlaanderen). Sep Vanmarcke tries to counterattack, but hasn't got the legs to do it.
At the summit of the last climb, with 7.5km to go, Posthuma feels very strong and attacks! The lead over the peloton is still almost 2 minutes. Can this be another win for Monster Energy, and the first this season for Posthuma??
With 2km to go, Posthuma leads Mouris with 30 seconds! He's gonna make it!
Yes he is! What a race from Posthuma! He was in an 100km-attack and brought it home!
45 seconds behind, Mouris takes 2nd place, in front of Van Hecke.
In the peloton, the Monster-guys sprint to places 6-7-8-9-11 & 12. Not bad

The winner:
Yes, we are very happy with the win of Posthuma! A great result by him, and the team did great to control the peloton!
Well, U2 is good, but Muse, Coldplay and Snow Patrol are better (I've seen those 3 on a live performance, and U2 only on live-DVD, so maybe I'll change my opinion when it's possible to get tickets for them some day....)
great race not only by Posthuma but by the whole team! 1st, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th isnt bad at all! thats a great result and a great report!
lovin this story!
While some part of the team is enjoying themselves on cobbles, 8 others prepare themselves for the Ardennes classics in the western part of France, riding the 4 stage Circuit Sarthe.
No real goals here, just try to do as good as possible for the GC and maybe win a stage (and get some points for the CT-ranking to promote to the World Tour of course!). So I'll give you a short summary.
Of course there is a BOTD, of course the stage ends up in a mass sprint. Of course a French rider wins this in France, what a surprise!! It's Cofidis' Samuel Dumoulin who i stoo strong for Kenny Dehaes (OLO) and Graeme Brown (Rab). Peter Sagan gets place 8.

Stage 3:
The team works hard to create some gaps in the uphill sprint (last 4km with about 3-4% average gradient), but it still ends up in a mass sprint.
Jure Kocjan (Team Type 1) is the strongest. Dumoulin ends in 2nd, Sagan only in 4th, so he loses the leader jersey to Kocjan.
GC:
Final stage:
Sagan takes 4 bonus seconds in the beginning of the stage, so is only 3 behind Kocjan. When the sprint starts, he is in 3rd place in the wheel of Dumoulin. But everyone outsprints him and he falls back to place 13! Dumoulin takes the double: his 2nd stage win and the GC. Sagan ends up in 3rd in the GC, with Kocjan in between.

Here are the results of the Vuelta Pais Vasco (we didn't participate in it):
What an amazing performance by Purito! 3 stage wins and the GC!
I'm very happy I can tell you that we also received a wildcard for La Doyenne, Liege-Bastogne-Liege!! And also the Tour de Romandie (so another World Tour race, to prepare the riders for the Giro).
The last cobbled classic of the year (and all but 10 riders in the peloton are happy about this!) Paris - Roubaix, the Hell of the North! 258km, and the weather is terrible: rain, rain and rain. Last year the race was won by Spartacus, who took the Flanders-Roubaix double.
Favourites:
*** Hushovd, Cancellara, Flecha
** Boonen, Breschel, Hincapie, Vansummeren
* Chavanel, Langeveld, Pozzato, Ballan, Terpstra, Nuyens, Leukemans and many more.
Already after 50km of cycling, even before the cobbles, Filippo Pozzato abandons. The winner of Milan - San Remo tells the press, he hit a wooden pole next to the road and that his left hand hurtes like hell. In the hospital, the X-rays showed a fractured hand. Bad luck for the king of all wheelsuckers, who is out for 2 months!
Sep Vanmarcke got in the BOTD, together with famous cobblers as Thiago Machado (RSh), Valerio Agnoli (Liq) and Cyril Dessel (ALM). After 80km they reach the first cobbles section. It has already started to rain.
The peloton enters the cobbles 6 minutes later.
At the 2nd cobbled section, Vanmarcke easily rides away from his fellow breakaways and with 150km he is already alone.
Crossing the Foret d'Arenberg, with 95km to go, he leads with over 7 minutes. This isn't the maximum advantage, that was almost 9 minutes.
Vanmarcke's powers are rapidly fading in this disastrous weather. He eats and drinks a lot but the rain makes his muscles frozen ones. 60km to go, and 4'30 advantage to the peloton.
With 36km to go, it is over for Vanmarcke. The 40-man big peloton pass him. Some outsiders are already left behind: Daniel Oss, Karsten Kroon, Maarten Tjallingii, Johnny Hoogerland, Martin Elmiger and Sebastien Chavanel.
With 30km to go, all hell brakes loose in the peloton! Thor Hushovd is the first one to attack. Niki Terpstra counterattacks, but can't catch the Norwegian on his own.
But everythings gets together. Then it is Fabian Cancellara to attack. For sure the Swiss wants to win the Hell again!
4 riders go in the counterattack, and even pass Cancellara: Hushovd again, with Juan Antonio Flecha and Tom Boonen lead with 12 seconds in front of Bjorn Leukemans and 19 to Spartacus. The shrunken peloton, lead by Rabobank comes 30 seconds behind. Terpstra and Martijn Maaskant are still in this group.
The chasing group catches the 5 leaders (thx to Rabobank!). At the Carrefour de l'Arbre, with 10km to go, former three times winner Tom Boonen is the next to give it a go.
But also Tommeke can't distinguish himself. 16 man come together in the streets of Roubaix. The only victim of Boonen's attack is Martijn Maaskant. The next one to try it is Johan Vansummeren.
The Garmin - Cervélo rider hasn't got the legs to ride away, so the 16 man enter the Vélodrome. Boonen leads the group, in front of Flecha, Hushovd and Cancellara. Terpstra is happy he can hang on.
Boonen still leads with 1km to go. Rabo's Matti Breschel has started a long sprint and is on the outside. Hushovd comes on the inside. Will this be the first Scandinavian victory in the Hell ever??
Yes it is! One year after Cancellara won the Flanders - Roubaix double, it is the Norwegian World champ who wins this sprint. What a deserved win for him. Cancellara manages to get 2nd, Sylvain Chavanel third.
Terpstra can't sprint anymore because of cramps in his thighs and finishes in 16th place in the same time as the winner.
The Norwegian puts on some dry clothes and can hold the cobble-award above his head!

Finally, the cobble-season is over. We can be more happy with the result in PR than the result in Flanders. Why? Terpstra stayed in the first group, and because his legs were empty and he's a bad sprinter, a top 10 wasn't expected anymore.
Hushovd is the king of the cobbles, with the wins in the Flanders Tour and Paris - Roubaix, but also top 5 results in Gent-Wevelgem, E3-prijs, and Omloop het Nieuwsblad. He has no contract for 2012, who will sign him???
Philippe Gilbert is THE favourite to win this race. We aim for a top 3.
Dries Hollanders from An Post - Sean Kelly is the last rider from today's break who's still up front. But with a lead of only 30 seconds with still 20km to go, he knows it's fruitless. But a great race by the young Belgium rider!
One lap to go, 12.5 km and our team is doing the pace.
With 7km to go Peter Sagan has taken the wheel of favourite Philippe Gilbert and waits for the last uphill sprint.
An attack with 5km to go! It's Andy Schleck who wants to test his legs. One rider follows him: Frédéric Amorison from Landbouwkrediet.
The last climb start with about 2km to go. Schleck knows that he won't make it (his fitness is only 66). And he's right. Amorison has a powerful jump!
And he gets the win! Great result for him and his Landbouwkrediet team. 23 seconds behind, Gilbert gets second, Jelle Vanendert has the best sprint of the rest and takes 3rd place. Sagan gets boxed in in the cornery last 2 kilometres and has to settle with 7th place.

Looking back, the tactic to win this race was the wrong one. We tried to surprise the opponents with the attack of Schleck, but his fitness was to bad and Amorison did a great job. We should have let Poels, Vanendert or De Gendt attack, or set up a train with those riders for Sagan.
But the question is if we could have beaten Gilbert then?? Don't think so. So we're happy with 3rd place, and the DS decides to get himself a big glass of Belgian trappist beer
The Profronde van Drenthe, a 2-stage race in the north of Holland. The prediction is that it will turn out in 2 mass sprints. Our goal is to get at least one top 3 result in a stage, and to win the KOTM-jersey.
In the first Intermediate sprint, we get a 1-2-3. Theo Bos gets 6 points and 6 seconds, in front of Coen Vermeltfoort and Wilco Kelderman.
A small gap is created and Wilco Kelderman goes on alone, on his way to the 2 KOTM-sprints. And he manages to win them both. Behind him Maxim Debusschere (An Post) and Thomas Damuseau (Skil) chase him and the 3 continue together. The maximum lead is almost 9 minutes.
Debusschere wins both remaining Intermediate sprints. Kelderman gets 2nd twice and Damuseau 3rd.
With 30km to go, Kelderman leaves the 2 behind. The lead has been cut back to 1'50.
Kelderman gets caught with 13km to go. The comes a lot of shouting: there is a crash in the peloton, and 120 riders (no Monster's!) are involved!! Some riders have to abandon, among them Julien El Fraes (Cofidis) with a broken wrist and Alex Dowsett (Sky) with a broken shin bone.
We can't set up a train (we tried De Maar - Ligthart - Vermeltfoort - Bos), and even have to let 5 man go who create a 15-second gap. The win will go to one of them. It's CCC's Tomasz Smolen who just edges out Stefan van Dijk (Veranda Willems) and Dominique Rollin (FDJ). Theo Bos is the first Monster rider on place 10.
