Plowman Transfer Season
I will now announce two new signings and we are starting with:
Nathan Miller.
Millers profile.
Nathan is a 23 year old american. The american is riding for BMC this year. He is good in the mountains. Miller can develope into a good rider, but next year he will be team mate in the most races for Team Plowman Craven.
The next rider to be announced is:
Yannick Martinez.
Yannick Martinez is a young climbing talent from France, right now he is riding for Amore e Vita - McDonald's. Yannick is only 20 years old but he is already a good stage racer, he will have the same position as Nathan Miller, team mate in most of the races next year.

Stage 2
Stage 2 is pretty flat and it's 150 km long.
Sorry, but i forgot to take SS of this stage.
It began with an attack wich Ben Swift countered. They created a gap and a breakaway, it consisted of 15 riders.
Ben Swift took maximum KOM points, wich was 16 points, and with 17 km left their gap to the peleton was 2 minutes. So maybe they will win.
Soon they understood that they were making it, and in the sprint Swift ended 3rd. De Haes won ahead of Riccio.

Plowman Transfer Season
Today Plowman Craven announced their 4th and 5th signing. They started with a young puncheur from France:
Florian Morizot.
Florian is a 23 year old puncheur or stage racer, he races for Auber 93 this season. But next year he will be apart of Team Plowman Craven. The frenchman is good at everything except sprinting and cobblestones. He can develope into a really good rider in the future.
Next rider was a canadian sprinter:
Kevin Lacombe.
Kevin is also 23 years old, and he is a great sprinter. His team right now is Kelly Benefit Strategies. Lacombe is great on sprinting, but he can also stay with the peleton in some small hills. Kevin will be Plowmans first sprinter next year.

Stage 3
In todays stage Chabane, Calcagni and Hargrave got a really good gap and maybe they were making it first to the finish line.
With 20 km left of the stage Calcagni (Barloworld) went solo. But he would be caught with 7,5 km left.
There were no good train today, so Bellis sat on Caethovens (Agritubel) wheel. When the sprint began Bellis followed Bernhard Eisel.
Jonathan didn't got the power to win, but he held Eisels wheel and took a good second place.
Eisel celebrating his win.

Stage 4 is another sprint stage.
Todays break consisted of 7 riders.
With 40 km left Steven Cummings attacked. Many riders tried to counter but they couldn't reach him, they created a chase group.
18km left - Bellis attacks! He reachs the chase group.
But in the sprint the peleton swallowed up the breaks. Eisel sprinted past Cummings just at the finish line.
Eisel winning again.
The GC is the same. Swift holds the KOM jersey.
