@Code All credit to the Dan!
@Sutty68 Hopefully we'll still be saying that after next race.
@VoetsT Win Win Win!
@Adamb The start lists have been weak and I had better tactics. Tirreno will be tough.
@Jakstar22 I agree, Go Dan!
No report tomorrow, but Monday the Tirreno preview and maybe even stage 1 will be up for sure!

Tirreno - Adriatico Preview
Here we are, the start of the WT season in Europe. Form now until June is going to be one big roller coaster ride.
This year's route is extremely unique, it lack not only a mountain top finish but any mountain stages at all. Instead, almost every stage contains punchy , rolling hills. This could be good, as my strengths favor Ardennes climbs over Alpine climbs, but on the other hand if it isn't selective enough that could be bad.
With Talansky and Danielson over in France, the rest of the main squad took the plane over here. Ryder is here, although he is not in great shape yet, since he has later goals. He will help me and pick attacks. We have Farrar here for sprints, and a group of quality helpers.
 | | Daniel Martin | | Leader |  | | Ryder Hesjedal | | Free Element |  | | Tyler Farrar | | Sprinter |  | | Tom Slagter | | Super Domestique |  | | Andre Cardoso | | Super Domestique | | | Nathan Borwn | | Domestique |  | | Fabian Wegmann | | Domestique |  | | David Millar | | Domestique |
The startlist is immense for this one, with all the best GC guys and sprinters lining up for the start.
*** Froome, Nibali, Rodriguez, Quintana
** Valverde, D. Martin, Costa, Van Den Broeck, Uran
* Schleck, Horner, Basso, Majka, Ten Dam, Kangert
*** Kittel, Cavendish, Demare
** Bouhanni, Kristoff, Degenkolb, Viviani
* Goss, Chicci, Bennati, Farrar, Modolo, Boasson Hagen
Here we go! The team time trial starts soon!
Spoiler P.S. First time using photobucket. Tell me what you think. Kind of confusing for me but I'll get used to it.

Tirreno - Adriatico - Stage 1
A short TTT around Italy. Hopefully not too big gaps today.
Trek stormed out of the gate and set the best time early on.
We stayed organized and fought, but we didn't have our best squad for this. We finished 8th, 54 seconds back.
Pre race favorites Team Sky didn't disappoint, but they did come up short. 6 seconds off the time set by Trek. Still a great place for Froome to be.
BMC stormed ahead early, taking a 10 second lead at the first time check. But in the end they faltered badly after their train unhinged. They ended up 5th.
And so it was Trek who took the stage over Sky and Tinkoff. We're still less than a minute behind, but that's not great news.
Rankings:
| Rank | Team | Time | General Time | | 1 | Trek Factory Racing | 18'08 | 18'08 (1) | | 2 | Team Sky | + 6 | + 6 (2) | | 3 | Tinkoff - Saxo | + 13 | + 13 (3) | | 4 | Movistar Team | s.t. | + 13 (4) | | 5 | BMC Racing Team | + 32 | + 32 (5) | | 6 | AG2R La Mondiale | + 39 | + 39 (6) | | 7 | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team | s.t. | + 39 (7) | | 8 | Garmin Sharp | + 54 | + 54 (8) | | 9 | FDJ.fr | + 58 | + 58 (9) | | 10 | Belkin Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | + 58 (10) |
Well I'm ready for the first road stage, are you? See you there!

Tirreno - Adriatico - Stage 2
Hilly stage with a flat finish, we'll play it by ear.
Breakaway is away. Millar jumps onto it. Will it work?
The break was reeled in, and everyone was relaxing except Farrar, who tried desperately to find a wheel but kept getting boxed in.
Giant had the prefect leadout. Farrar had lost ground. FDJ was coming on the right with Boasson Hagen as Demare opened up.
And Kittel takes it! Farrar finishes 14th, the rest of us just relax in the pack.
