krisa Thanks for mentioning . Of course I knew but i clicked the wrong flag - Chile - Czech are one next to the other .
I will edit it .
wogsrus You are very confident . Thanks , but we must not underestimate our opponents and prepare 110 % for the Tour .
It's time for Vuelta Algarve !!!
It's a 5-day race , containing 3 flat stages , 1 uphill finish and a ITT in the last day . Tony Martin won here in 2011 , let's hope he will do it again now . He showed a good shape in Qatar , having a crucial role in Mark's sprint train and with a 24 km ITT I think we have pretty good chances to win the GC.
Line-up
Opponents
***Philippe Gilbert , Samuel Sanchez
**Luis Leon Sanchez , Damiano Cunego
*Thor Hushovd , Bjorn Leukemans , Lars Boom , Thomas De Gendt , Domenico Pozzovivo

Stage 1
It is a hilly stage , even if the last 20 kilometers are mostly flat . We must be very careful , stay all the time in front and try to control the race .
The first intermediate sprint was at km 15 . No break-away was formed yet so we did not want to miss the opportunity of getting 6 bonification seconds . Tony Martin gave it a try and won the sprint .
Then the BOTD was formed . Boeckmans , Matysiak , Stortoni and Andriato tried their chances.
No team wanted to chase and their lead was at 5 minutes with 45 kilometers to go . Then Euskaltel and BMC started to chase really hard . Here you can see that at the front of the peloton was actually Samuel Sanchez , who was supposed to be their leader .
Seeing that the escapees still had a comfortable lead a few riders decided to make a move . These riders were : Hushovd , Gilbert , Dumoulin , Van Hecke , Scheirlinckx , Roy and I.Izagirre.
After 5 kilometers another group of riders attacked from the peloton : Boom , L.L.Sanchez, Leukemans , Marcato , Barta and Cardoso .
This is what was left from the peloton . We were the only team willing to work in front , because we were th only ones who did not have rider(s) in the groups that attacked earlier .
Chavanel , Stybar and De Weert wre trying to reel in the attackers . Sami Sanchez , Cunego and Betancur were also in our group .
Stortoni made his move with 8 kilometers to go .
Here is the situation at this moment of the race :
Stortoni
Gr. Boeckmans + 20sec
Gr. Gilbert + 45 sec
Gr. L.L.Sanchez + 1 ' 10 "
Gr. T.Martin + 2 minutes
With 4 kilometers the go , the Boom-L.L.Sanchez caught Gr. Gilbert . They were at only 25 seconds behind the 4 riders from the early break-away , as Stortoni was caught .
And Boeckmans takes the win in a sprint !
It was a crazy stage , lots of things happened but in the end if we look at the results it is not very good for us .

Stage 2
Again it is a hilly stage . Let's hope that today we will be stronger and make the right decisions because we can't afford to lose more time .
Just like yesterday the first intermediate sprint was placed at the beggining of the stage . No break-away so Tony Martin won the sprint and took those 6 seconds .
After this the BOTD was formed by Van Winden , Jeannesson and De Clercq . They seem to be quite strong and their maximum lead was of 6 minutes .
On the last climb of the day we came at the fron of the peloton and Rabon with Pineau set a face past . Many riders from the peloton were dropped , but the escapees still had a comfortable lead .
At the top of the climb 4 riders attacked : Betancur , Cunego , Konig and Commeyne .Thanks to Cunego they were really fast on the downhill and created a 1 minute gap to the peloton .
With 10 kilometers to go they caught the riders from the early break-away . The only sprinter of them was Commeyne and he had no problem taking the lead . Nice move by Cunego and Betancur as they gained some time in the GC .

Stage 3
It is probably the most difficult stage in this Tour , the only uphill finish . Let's hope that we don't lose time much time compared to Gilbert , Betancur , Cunego or L.L.Sanchez , as we are already pretty down in the GC .
Look at the intermediate sprints . Both of them in the first 20 kilometers , we had a chance to grab 12 seconds . Tony Martin made his move and took the first one !
The second one as well ! Mission accomplished ! Now we will try to rest for the final kilometers of the stage .
On the third climb of the day , with 15 kilometers to go Leukemans and Gilbert attacked . But we were at the front of the peloton and thanks to De Weert and Pineau we caught them .
But on the last climb of the day they tried again . This time : Izagirre , Gilbert and Boom . The only rider left to help Tony Martin was Chavanel and he was pretty tired .
No rider was strong enough to create a gap so it going to be decided in a sprint ! The winner : Leukemans !

Stage 4
It is the only flat stage in this Tour and definitely the easiest. As probably no important riders for the GC will attack the most important thing to do is to rest for the ITT .
Again the first intermediate sprint is placed right after the start of the stage . A good opportuniny to grab 6 bonification seconds and defend our Points Jersey .
Then the BOTD was fromed by : Zabel , Durasek , Britton , Marycz and McEvoy . As no important sprinters were in the peloton , no team was interested to chase .
With 15 kilometers to go their lead was of 10 minutes . After they all worked to create this gap it's time to think how to fool your break-away companions and get the stage win . Durasek attacked and he was followed by Britton .
They were caught with 500 meters to go and the fastest of them was definitely Rick Zabel . Good win for the promising young sprinter .
The peloton was riding very slowly so Tony Martin attacked with 8 kilometers to go and take advantage of this thing .
But immediately the other teams responded and he realied after 1 km there is no reason to waste his energy .

Stage 5
Here it is the final stage of this Tour . A 25-km ITT , that will probably change a lot the GC . Tony Martin is by far the #1 favourite of winning this time-trial , now let's how much time he can gain in the GC .
Here is our man : Tony Martin . 15th place in the GC at the start of the race we expect him to move up to a podium place .
Here is the Spanish TT champion , L.L.Sanchez . At the start of the stage he was named the #1 favourite at winning the GC . Meanwhile we found out that Tony Martin set the best time at the first time chack , with almost 20 seconds faster than the previous time .
Here is Lars Boom , former Dutch ITT Champion . He is a good TT-er , with a good chance of moving up some places in the GC.
Philipe Gilbert set off , wearing the KOM Jersey .
Tony Martin passed Bart De Clercq and set the best time : 33' 27" . Chavanel did a very good time-trial he is 4th now .
L.L.Sanchez finishes : 1'07" behind Tony .
Boom finsihes : 1' 13" behind Tony .
Gilbert finished : 1' 34" behind Tony .
This is the last man to finish the tace : Bjorn Leukemans . His results.... very disappointing 2' 51 " behind Tony Martin , who won for the 2nd time in his career Vuelta Algarve !
Congratulations Tony !

Thank you Selwink . I actually thought that I lost all my chances at winning the GC after stage 1 but in ended very well for us .
Thanks sutty68 . In all the tours that we won ( Etoile de Besseges , Tour Mediterraneean and Vuelta Algarve ) , the TT had a crucial role in deciding the winner and each time Stybar and T.Martin showed how strong they are .

So another Tour is about to start for our team . After a race in Qatar , it is another one is Asia : Oman . It is a 6-day Tour , with 1 MTF , 1 hilly stage and 4 flat stages , from which 1 has an uphill finish .
Line-up
Just like in Qatar , our leader is Mark Cavendish . This time he can't win the GC becuase of the MTF , but this can't stop him from getting some stage wins and fight for the Points Jersey .
Opponents
*** Matthew Goss , Peter Sagan
** E.B.Hagen , Elia Viviani , Francisco Ventoso
* Greg Van Avermaet , Bernard Eisel , Fabian Cancellara
Stage 1
This is probably the only stage from the 4 flat stages that is for pure sprinters , like Mark , so we can't miss the opportunity to get the stage win and also the Leader's Jersey.
2 riders tried their chances and went in the break-away , but they had no chance and they were caught with 25 kms to go .
With 15 kilometers to go we were already in front , as Mark was the only sprinter with a "train" . Keisse - Vandewalle - Steegmans - Meersman - Boonen were in front of Mark .
With 5 kilometers to go Steegmans was in front . He was supposed to lead us until the last 3 kilometers , from where Meersman would take over . Sagan , Nizzolo , EBH and Van Avermaet were fighting to get Mark's wheel .
Only Boonen was left with 1.8 kms to go . Sagan already started his sprint and EBH followed him .
1 km to - Mark starts his sprint . EBH and Sagan were in front , but I think they started the sprint a little bit to early and they will tire until the end .
Cavendish takes the win !

Steegmans did a great job in Qatar as a lead-out man , but it seems that Boonen it very good at this role as well . It is going to be difficult to choose what "train " to use for Mark in TDF . Tomorrow we hope we will defend the Leader's Jersey by taking another win !
