Woah, Qatar at WC. That's great news, especially for the team too.
Pinot and Elissonde head into Biathlon, that should make the Tour a bit less over-competitive, which may even favor the Tour de France.

RACE: Cauberg - Valkenburg 43 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Roux(FDJ) **Kritskiy(QOS) *Herrada(WLR)
A mostly flat course with some steep renown hills of the Netherlands classics will be the playing field for this year's WTT championship.
De Vos was one of the first riders off the ramp he would finish well down on the day after leaving his energy on the roads of the Vuelta.
Meyer would set the early fastest time after finishing second last year he looked to be on for another good finish with a time of 1'05'31 which is 2'30 faster than the time of De Vos.
Croatia were making their first appearance at the worlds for a number of years.
Inxausti of Spain is the next to put in a good time at the finish, he finishes '41 down on Meyer.
A lot is expected of the young Irish rider Lappin. Today, however, would not be his day.
Here is the moment.
Al Ghanim was our only entrant for the TT. He was out of shape and after 90 race days this season you can't blame him. He would finish well down on the day. But he makes history. Qatar can now say they have competed at the cycling world champs.
Joeaar of Estonia is out on the roads.
King of the USA is the closest to Meyer, he finished '11 down on the Australian, as the big guns are released.
Kritskiy is off!
Our reigning world champ sure looks in great condition, but could he retain his title with TT specialists such as Roux still to come?
2019 Giro winner Cattaneo rides his first race of 2020 after suffering a terrible injury and subsequently taking part in a lot of Biathlon races. He would ride a commendable race putting in a top 15 performance, he will be back in the peloton next year.
As the last of the riders set off the starting ramp we have news that the best time has been beaten. Slik passes Hammer on the way to a new best time of 1'05'35.
Kritskiy looks in fantastic shape.
The big Russian passes the TT specialist, Sutterlin, and looks to be cruising up the Cauberg. His riding style being a real thing of beauty. Both great signs that he is on his to defend his WTT crown, will he?
Was it ever in doubt?
Kritskiy canters to a win. The next best, Quaade, was over 1'00 down and Roux rounds off the podium.
It is back to back WTT titles for the big Russian. Or should I say our big Russian. He wins in stark contrast to last year's close run race. Wohooooo!
What a day. Qatar take part in the worlds for the first time and the winner will be riding for us next season. What a day!

Stage favourites:
***van der Sande(HLE) **Battaglin(BSC) *Pere(HLE)
The hilly course will decide the world champs this year. Reigning world champ Vanendert will not take part so all eyes will be on the Herbalife duo to battle it out.
Qatar gets into the break! Al Sulmani put in a load of early attacks to ensure he was part of the 11 man break which also included Cattaneo, Baugnies, Preidler and veterans Gusev and Brajkovic.
The break reached a zenith over the peloton of 9'30 with 130 kilometres to go before France, Portugal and Great Britain upped the pace behind.
42 kilometres to go
The break still have 3'04 as the first of the attacks from behind start. Cruz of the USA attacks...
The Americans' attack is quickly brought back by the other big favourites as the peloton is down to 40 riders. Only Gusev, Meyer of the Netherlands and Baugnies survive of the break with 24 kilometres to go and they have '34 over the big favourites. They are caught sharpish.
The peloton swells to 60 riders including Al Sulimani as we reach the Cauberg for the last time with 6 kilometres to go.
Raul Mora of Spain attacks and Christian of GB goes with him, despite just putting in an attack....
Christian counters and leads the race by himself he has '10 with 3 kilometres to go with Gautier doing much of the chasing.
Heartbreak for Christian, who always performs well in the world champs, as he is caught a few hundred meters from the finish.
van der Sande inadvertently gets a perfect leadout in the flat run in by the likes of Gautier but Cruz is coming up fast........
A world champ win for van der Sande, is it?
He is not sure as he crosses the line but van der Sande continues to build one of the most impressive Palmares in history by becoming the world champ for the first time. Cruz would have won if there were 20 meters left but he has to settle for silver and the home favourite, Slagter, settles for bronze in a exciting finish.
Al Sulimani put in a fantastic ride to be in the break all day and only finish 1'35 down.
Back to back world champions for Belgium.

Herbalife and Qatar Optics continue their great form of the Vuelta. Kritskiy really destroyed everyone.

RACE: Milano - Lecco 240 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Gautier(RBA) **Slagter(RAB) *Moser(EML)
This Italian hilly classic is the last 'big race' for many this season.
For much of the race we had 16+ riders ahead of the peloton With 51 kilometres to go Bilbao and Duarte have 5'20 over the John Deere led peloton. The two late attackers are looking strong and more of a match for the peloton.
With 13 kilometres to go the two men still have 3'00 over the peloton as the attacks from the favourites start. Ulissi and co will make big inroads into the quality break but not enough.
Duarte leads Bilbao into the final, it will be a sprint between the two mountainmen!
Bilbao takes the win! He easily passed the TDF podium man in the final and wraps another win for himself after a recent semi Italian classic success. It has been a fantastic late season for Euskaltel Euskadi.
Sicard can thank Kritskiy that he finished as high as 21st after being paced back to the peloton earlier on in the race by the world TT champ.

@ Shonak - Destroyed is the word!
@ Sutty - IT was an epic ride. |

That leaves just two races for us to complete the season. Said races are the tour of Beijing and first the tour de Kumano. Having won this race in 2017 and 2018 and thoroughly enjoying the unique carnival-esque atmosphere we are glad to return.
After a stressful season it is good to unwind with a lot of laughs in Japan. Having said that, for the first time, this race has attracted some top quality riders and over 100 will compete whereas in previous versions there have just been 50 or so riders taking part.
We will be competing alongside Qatar Optics Continental. Here that means we will be competing against my son, Eddie Aurel, the tallest in the peloton.
STAGE 1: Shingu - Shingu 1 KM
Stage Favourites:
***King(GBF) **Toruste(VRU) *Castroviejo(EUS)
We start with a very small prologue. All time gaps will be disregarded at the end of the stage as this stage is just about deciding who will wear the yellow jersey on stage 2.
It is great to compete against teams, such as Kaai Kari, whom we don't compete against regularly.
Richards of Kaai Kari showed well in the world champs and even finished in Holland with a top 20 after attacking late on for Australia.
Eddie Aurel out on the road.
.......

Daring effort by Bilbao and Duarte, it's not often that a break wins at Il Lombardia.
Strange policy at the prologue in Tour de Kumano. Then again, it's only one kilometer.

STAGE 2: Akagigwa - Seiryu 110 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Ponzi(GBF) **Fenn(WGE) *Lobato(CIA)
We sent Truhanov into the break. He would end up joint leading the KOM competition at the end of the day with Montaguti on five points, alas the Italian would be wearing the jersey on day 2.
Ponzi, resplendent in his CQ points leader jersey, takes another win for the Giant Berry Boys. 2 out of 2 for the team managed by Chris Horner. With bonus seconds Ponzi now leads the race.

STAGE 3: Kumano - Sangaku 120 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Rolland(ARG) **Quintana(WGE) *Bilbao(EUS)
We sent Truhanov into the break once again in search of the KOM jersey, but the Moldovan could only watch as the stronger and fresher men battled out the points.
After an exciting climax which saw a host of names including Al Sulimani, Anton, Quintana and Bilbao attack towards the finish, the winner came from Cantabria Infinita. Avalos’ win shows the team continue to produce great Spanish puncheurs.

STAGE 4: Taji - Hanto 106 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Rolland(AGS) **Quintana(WGE) *Barrios(CIA)
C.S.Long punctured with 40 kilometres to go, that didn't stop from attacking the peloton with 20 kilometres to go.. Long would finish in 3rd today after he is just caught be a fast finishing Ponzi late on.....
Borja wins the overall.
The Spaniard makes it 2 in 2 for Cantabria and wins the Tour de Kumano. He attacked with 50 kilometres to go and despite Giant Berry and Argos Oil setting a hard tempo he would hold off strongly for the stage win and the GC win . A number of strong Spaniard's are coming from this regional Spanish team. A great tour here for Giant Berry sees them leapfrog Luxair into the 2nd promotion spot in the CQ rankings.
We didn't send our strongest team on paper but we sure enjoyed the race, as ever.

@ krisa - I was always going to as we don't race them much.
@ shonak - It is more of a race to unwind after a hard season. 'ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY! '
@ Atlantius - We never target that race although Felline will end the season on only 60 race days.... But he won the Tirreno and Milan Sanremo so who cares!
@ sutty - Wasn't a goal and no one was in shape so that was inevitable.

Since Il Lombardia often suits the same kind of rider as the worlds I usually have a few riders toppping around the worlds and then trying to maintain their form for Lombardia
Well done by Long in the last stage. A GC 7th isn't bad

The final race of the season is here. This five stage race is all what stands between us and a long rest period. This is the final stage race where Qatar Optics will be the big sole sponsor of the team.
STAGE 1: Bird's Nest - Water Cube 11 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Kritskiy(QOS) **Van Garderen(JDE) *Martin(KAT)
We start with a prologue, could Kritskiy justify his latest WTT victory?
Could Kritskiy take the stage win?
Times at the 5 KM checkpoint:
1. Kritskiy 'Best Time'
2. Meyer @'0
3. King @'1
Kritskiy wins the prologue!
It was a real close finish/ 2 horse race after Meyer slowed in the second half. King and Kritskiy were neck and neck throughout the course but our Russian wins his second consecutive TT and will wear the yellow jersey on stage 2. John Deere need to do well here or they will be relegated from the WT, van Garderen's 4th place is not good enough.

STAGE 2: Bird's Nest - Men Tou Gou 133 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Guardini(YTE) **Matthews(FAR) *Boasson Hagen(RAB)
Wide roads: typical of the built up Chinese areas.
After the break was caught with 8 kilometres to go it is a straight flat run in to the finish. Surely a sprint is destined, right?
Wrong!
Bobridge attacked and four riders followed with 2 kilometres to go, one of which being the yellow jersey Kritskiy. The sprinters' teams did not bother with a lead out and just syked each other out.
The Giant Berry rider continues the team's great recent form in Asia by holding on for the win. Kritskiy finished 3rd and takes '4 bonus seconds, I hope he didn't burn himself out ahead of the difficult stage 3. Guardini leads home the peloton to ensure there are no time gaps.

@ Krisa - One of the top riders at the continental stage.
@ Shonak - Then he is destined to be a superstar!
@ Atlantius - Thanks, remember winning is not everything. If we wanted to win we could have brought Kritskiy and that would have been all she wrote!
@ Sutty - He will have a much bigger role in the squad next season.
