First stage in Pologne and it´s totally flat! With a nice sprint train we should be able to get at least a podium with Greipel. So let´s start!

Unfortunely I couldn´t take any screen, so I´m sorry for that but the stage wasn´t really exciting.
The most important thing happened with only 4 kilometres to go. Our sprint train worked perfectly with Grabsch and Sieberg. But suddenly there were some riders crashing and Greipel had to avoid but in these moments he lost Sieberg´s wheel. Grabsch did a great job leading Sieberg out for a good 3rd position in the end. The good thing was, that Greipel wasn´t down but I´m sure he had won this stage without that incident. Finally I think Sieberg still got a nice result for Columbia. Traksel won the first stage in front of Matysiak

Nice podium, and with 3 rider in the Top10, it is a pretty good result.

Well, the crash was crucial for that great result. Many sprinter couldn´t sprint after that crash Smile

The second stage is another flat one with good chances for our sprint-captain Andre Greipel. Yesterday we´ve got a nice result with 3 riders in the top 10 but today we really want the stage win

It was hard to stop the breakaway today but with Howard we were able to catch them a few kilometres before the stage finish

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/3-14.jpg
We had no chance today against Garmin. Our sprint train was nice but we were far behind Garmin when the sprint began. So it was no problem for Fischer to finish the perfect leadout by his team. De Haes and Sabatini managed to get a podium for their teams while Greipel only became 18th

Bad luck this stage. But I am sure you can get a successful sprint in the next stages.
Good luck.
The profile of stage 2 is stage 1 Wink

After the bad performance yesterday, we´re staying positive for today´s stage. It´s the third flat stage in a row and should be a good chance to forget about the last stage. Greipel´s shape is getting better and better and should be perfect at the Vuelta

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/2-16.jpg
There was a small uphill section which brought Ghyselinck the white jersey for the best climber. After that, our team had to prepare a good sprint train for Greipel and as you can see it worked perfectly today! Grabsch did an amzing job at the front with Sieberg as final leadout man for Greipel

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/3-15.jpg
With only 4 kilometres to go, our train was taking the lead with Grabsch. The other sprinters took Greipel´s wheel which wasn´t really good but Greipel should be strong enough

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/4-15.jpg
Sieberg wasn´t able to leadout his captain for a long time so Greipel had to go on his own for a long distance. Hopefully this won´t take him the stage win

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/5-13.jpg
Great performance by Andre Greipel! No one was able to stop him although he had to sprint for a long distance. Especially Grabsch did a fantastic job today while Sieberg should improve his shape just a touch. Vona takes the second place in front another German, Robert Förster

By the way, we were able to reach one of our sponsor goals! They told us to win at least one stage in Pologne Wink

Nice win with Greipel.

After a successful third stage, we would like to continue just like that. Greipel´s shape is good enough to take at least another podium

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/2-17.jpg
With only 5 kilometres to go, we´ve built an amazing sprint train just like yesterday. Ben Swift took Greipel´s backwheel which wasn´t really positive as Ben is a great sprinter

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/3-16.jpg
Unfortunely Sieberg isn´t in that shape we want to see him. He couldn´t lead out his captain Greipel, so Grabsch had to that

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/4-16.jpg
Just like yesterday, Greipel had to take the lead really early and this time we´ve got Ben Swift in our slipstream. That means it would be harder to defend the leading position

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/5-14.jpg
Finally Greipel wasn´t able to do it like yesterday. Ben Swift was too strong and Greipel could not keep it up with those competition. He finished on position 6

Well, Greipel is still in not in shape, so I thinka 6th is quite good Wink

Well, I think Greipel isn´t the main problem :lol: He had to sprint for a long distance while Sieberg wasn´t able to help him again. I think Greipel will celebrate many stage wins in Spain with Eisel

At least you have already a win in the bag. Pfft

Yes, I think it was really important for Greipel to win a stage after a long break of racing

Great sprint in stage 3!

Ok, the Tour of Pologne is becoming serious now! After 4 flat stages, we´re visiting some hilly parts of Pologne. Pity, Siutsou lost over 3 minutes in the first stage after a crash. We won´t be able to get a nice overall position but maybe he´s good enough to take a podium for us. The biggest favourites for the stage win should be Barredo, Uran, Roche, Fothen and Igor Anton. My tip is Igor Anton!

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/2-18.jpg
Well, the first serious attack came by Eibegger who seemed to be in a good shape so far. With this move he was able to pass the first riders of today´s break. Especially Bakelants from Omega was really successful today, taking the white jersey from Ghyselinck

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/3-17.jpg
Bobby Traksel, the man in yellow, was the first one, starting an attack after Eibegger´s try. Traksel wasn´t only the best sprinter so far, no he´s also able to accomplish those hilly sections

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/4-17.jpg
A few moments later, it was Siutsou, who tried to counter that move. While Barredo couldn´t follow Traksel and Eibegger, Siutsou´s attack looked quite promising

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/5-15.jpg
With only 10 kilometres to go, Siutsou and a few other riders, such as Traksel, Tomasz Kiendys,Maarten Tjallingii,José Rujano and Igor Antón, were able to built a leading group

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/6-11.jpg
Well, there was no real opportunity to make a final move and it came to a final sprint finish which wasn´t really positive for Siutsou. Igor Anton was in front for a long time but Traksel were in his slipstream. He should take that stage as he is the best sprinter by far

i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac288/FedExpress/Columbia/7-10.jpg
But Traksel isn´t the winner! There is a really surprising stage winner called Tomasz Kiendys. Congrats to him as he won in his home country. Traksel finished second in front of Siutsou who was able to get a nice podium for us
