Milano - San Remo is reffered to as La Primavera. The first real one. That is because it's the first big classic of the season. Generally seen as a sprinter's classic, the hills from La Mania, Cipressa and Poggio di Sanremo might give more classical types an edge. The startlist is very strong with all top sprinters present, together with most classic riders. We brought a strong team hoping for a top 10. Haedo will get his chance if the races isn't too hard, otherwise we believe Nuyens has what it takes to get that op 10.
12 Riders in today's break of the day. We think it doesn't stand a chance so we don't have anybody at the front. Viviani (Liquigas), Guardini (Farnese Vini), Bole (Lampre) and Henao (Sky) are the bigger names in the front group.
Going over La Manie, most teams of the favourites (Sky, Lotto, Lampre, Radioshack and BMC) have all put one or two guys at the front to control the chase on the escapees.
Langeveld (GreenEdge) attacks after the descent from La Manie. Morkov and Vanmarcke (Garmin) attack trying to surprise the pack. Morkov wasn't strong enough to follow the two others so he dropped back to the bunch.
Starting the first of three Capi, the pack, where the pace has been upped drastically also catches the two others. The break of the day still holds an advantage of 1'30 over the pack.
Langeveld tried another attack and this time was able to join the break but the pack didn't let them go and everyone was caught coming over the last Capi, the Capo Berta.
Two new attackers when we go up the Cipressa. Paolini (Katusha) and Leukemans (Vacansoleil) are 25" in front of the pack but their lead is coming down as the pace is upped in the pack.
So everything is together again on the top of the Cipressa when the two Sorensen's start doing a hard pace because Nuyens still feels very strong. They create a split as 50 riders still have a chance to win.
Coming over the top of the Poggio di San Remo, one rider is alone in front. Nick Nuyens has attacked and created a 30" gap when starting the descent towards San Remo. It seems like the bunch is taking it slow so the sprinters don't drop.
When starting the descent, some riders finally realize they have to do something if they want someone else but Nuyens to win. Popovych (Radioshack), Thomas (Sky), Gerrans (GreenEdge) and Vinokourov (Astana) all try to get the chase started.
They all come too late as Nuyens crosses the line, which is no longer on the historic Via Roma, and takes an incredible win for his team. He certainly didn't stole it as all others were to passiv on the Poggio.
Thomas wins the sprint for 2nd 20" later while Popovych completes the podium. Best sprinters in this group were Boonen and Hushovd but they couldn't get a top 10 because they were to tired.4

Wow! This is way too awesome. Nuyens won Milano - San Remo! Incredible. Unexpected. Totally deserved.Edited by Spilak23 on 26-08-2012 20:15
The Vuelta a Catalunya is a one week race in Spain. The course is mainly hilly but also has one mountain top finish. No timetrials so the best climbers will come to the front. Let's hope Sorensen can do better as in the Tirreno and fight for a top 5 overal. Strong riders starting are Scarponi, Anton and Menchov, all top GC contenders.
The first stage in Catalunya is hilly. Not that tough so it's expected that a smaller peloton will finish together but maybe one of the favourites already misses a cut.
No Saxo guys between them 12 escapees of the day. Known riders at the front are Fischer (Garmin), Matthews (Rabobank), Zandio (Sky), Impey (GreenEdge) and Favili (Farnese Vini).
The pace in the peloton is controlled by two teams. It seems like Euskaltel and Radioshack believe they have the winner of this race in their team with Anton and Kloden respectively.
Three riders try to jump from the pack to the break. Euskaltel makes sure though that Trentin (Omega Pharma), Quinziato (BMC) and Galdos (Caja Rural) are brought back immediately though.
4 riders have dropped the others at the front over one of the final hills. It looks like Impey, Matthews, Fischer and Vichot will fight for the win today cause the pace in the pack has dropped.
Vichot knows he is the weakest sprinter at the front and made a strong pace over the final hill. Impey and Fischer dropped but Matthews could follow and is in a perfect position for a stage win.
And the Australian sprints away from Vichot under the red kite and wins with a huge margin. Vichot and Fischer complete the podium.
Vinokourov leads home the 60 remaining riders in the peloton 3' after the winner. Lund and Sorensen are the only Saxo guys still in this group.

We once again missed a succesfull breakaway. No other chance today.Edited by Spilak23 on 27-08-2012 15:00
The second stage in Catalunya is flat and should be the best chance for a bunch sprint so we can expect the teams of the sprinters to chase back the break. Haedo should be able to fight for a top 5 but he has been struggling so far this season.
When coming over the second categorised climb of the day, a lot of break's tried but not one was formed yet. That was the sign for Lund to attack. Nobody followed so he became the one men break of the day.
Lund was about to get caught with 15 km to go when two riders passed him. Burghardt (BMC) and Cesar Veloso (Andalucia) attack hoping to surprise the sprinter's teams.
They would get caught when team Movistar brings their sprinttrain to the front. Spanish champion Rojas is leading out Ventoso. Haedo is fighting for a good position behind the Movistar train.
The dou attacked again and starts the sprint with a small advantage over the bunch but you can see Rojas pulling Ventoso and the other sprinters back.
And so the sprinters fight for the win. Ventoso is once again the strongest while Bozic finishes second. Haedo was in the wind quite long but could just not pass Bos to finish 3rd.

We were alone in the break all day which is not bad. Haedo rode one of his best sprints this season so we can't be unhappy. Maybe he can win when he doesn't have to sprint against Ventoso.Edited by Spilak23 on 27-08-2012 15:19
The 3rd stage in the Volta a Catalunya has a mountain top finish in La Seu d'Urgell. This stage will probably decide so let's hope Sorensen can get a top 5.
10 riders in the break of the day. Martin (Omega Pharma), Vandevelde (Garmin), Valls (Vacansoleil), Roelandts (Lotto) and Cummings (BMC) are the most important.
Euskaltel, Radioshack and Astana are working for their leaders. Anton and Vinokourov with Euskaltel and Astana. Kloden is also working at the front for Radioshack so Paris - Nice winner Fuglsang seems to be their leader.
Starting the final climb, 2 riders have created a gap to the other escapees. Vandevelde and Valls are in front but Martin is pulling Cummings, Montaguti and Favili back.
Fuglsang uses the first slopes of the final climb to attack. Sorensen immediately jumps in his wheel. They have to create a hard pace if they want to take 3' on leader Matthews.
When starting the final km, Montaguti has a small lead over Martin and Cummings but the favourites aren't far away either. Fuglsang is coming close while Poels and Sorensen try to keep up.
Martin and Cummings came closer but Matteo Montaguti held on to take a nice victory. These three already lost a lot of time and are no danger in the overal. Fuglsang couldn't really come closer and finishes on a 4th place.
Sorensen came in as 8th behind Poels, Anton and Vinokourov. Race leader Matthews rode a strong climb and just holds his jersey with 3" over Vichot and 37" over Fuglsang.

Sorensen followed the best but was just not strong enough to finish as one of the best. He finished in the top 10 and is now 8th overal. Not bad.Edited by Spilak23 on 27-08-2012 17:29
Dwars door Vlaanderen is a cobbled classic that starts the Flemish Wielerweek which ends with the RvV. Generally one of the lesser prestigious classics, the best cobblers like Boonen and Cancellara are not here so Nuyens should fight for the win with Leukemans and Chavanel.
A large break of 14 is formed early. Pauwels (Omega Pharma) and Zaugg (Radioshack) are the most important riders but none at the front is a good cobbler.
Four riders try to bridge the gap from the peloton to the break. De Vocht (Accent), Tuft (GreenEdge), Rollin (FDJ) and Willems (Lotto) could become dangerous if they are given a lot of freedom.
They were all brought back though and so the real race starts with 50 kms to go. Tossato upped the pace on a tough uphill cobbled section and creates a gap together with Nuyens.
A chasing group of around 20 riders is formed behind them. Kroon is still in here with Morkov but the latter is really tired. Leukemans and Chavanel now have to work themselves to bring back Nuyens.
The two chased hard and brought the duo back with a bit more than 20 kms to go. Nuyens worked hard hoping he could stay away with Tossato and the two have tired themselves a bit.
And going over Nokereberg, Chavanell put in a dig while Leukemans and Nuyens tried to follow. Nuyens clearly suffered and had to let the others go. He has to pay for his earlier efforts.
So Chavanell and Leukemans ride to the finish together and will sprint for the win. Chavanell is in the bad position with Leukemans in his wheel.
The French champion had no chance here as Leukemans jumped out his slipstream under the red kite and took an easy sprint victory. Good win before the real monuments.
The sprint for the last podium spot was won by Van Avermaet. Tossato shows his good form by sprinting to a nice 6th place. Nuyens didn't bother to fight for a top 10.

Well, Nuyens might have felt a bit too strong after his victory in San Remo. He went a bit too early, was brought back and couldn't follow anymore. Still good racing from the team with Tossato showing he can help Nuyens on the importatn moments.Edited by Spilak23 on 27-08-2012 17:52
A flat stage after yesterday's mountain stage. There is a long climb with 50 kms to go but it should end in a bunch sprint if the sprinter's teams chase back the break.
Luke Roberts is in the break today with 7 others. Vaitkus (GreenEdge), Hunt (Sky), Urtasun (Euskaltel) and Fenn (Omega Pharma) are the best known.
Lotto - Belisol is doing a lot of work at the front of the peloton to chase back the break. They clearly have a lot of faith in Roelandts. Movistar is helping for Ventoso.
Galdos Alonso (Caja Rural), Burghardt (BMC) and Capecchi (Liquigas) tried to jump from the peloton to the front group but would get caught not much later.
Passing the 5 km mark, the break still has a gap to the pack. The sprint preparations start in both groups. It's unclear where the winner will come from but it will be very close, that's for sure.
The break is over under the red kite. Rojas has pulled Ventoso to the front. Haedo is in the wheel of Roelandts who's Lotto train had some more problems passing the escapees.
So Ventoso takes another win. He is having an incredible season so far winnning stages everywhere he starts. Haedo decided it was a good idea to follow the slipstream of a falling back Rojas and finishes 7th.

Haedo was in an almost perfect position with 1 km to go but then got stuck behind Rojas. So stupid.
The E3 prijs is generally seen as the perfect preparation for the Ronde van Vlaanderen. It moved this year from Saturday to Friday but became a World Tour race. The real cobble stars are present so Nuyens hopes for a top 5.
Wynants (Rabobank) and Vanmarcke (Garmin) have attacked out of the pack and join the early break. There are no good cobblers in the leading group.
Pacing by Radioshack and Omega Pharma made the peloton split in a lot of small groups. Nuyens and Kroon are in a first group next to Boonen, Cancellara, Flecha and Thomas while some big names like Leukemans, Chavanell and Ballan follow in the next group.
The two Belgian's up front have dropped all early attackers over the various cobbled sections. They have an advantage of 4' with 40 kms to go so it doesn't bad for a good result for them.
On one of the steepest parts in the final, a second group were Van Avermaet, Hushovd and Gilbert worked very hard for Ballan connects to the group with the favourites. Leukemans immediately moves to the front and attacks.
Cancellara attacks after the descent. Boonen and Flecha immediately react. Nuyens tries do the same but cracks. These 3 are clearly another level higher.
Leukemans and Cancellara join with the duo op front when passing the banner with 10 km to go. Boonen and Flecha would connect with this group not much later. Nuyens has dropped back to the bigger group.
Wynants clearly didn't gave everything during his attack as he jumps away from the favourites and starts the final sprint with a lead of 20" over the others were Leukemans is leading the others out.
Surpise in the sprint as Vanmarcke is stronger then Boonen, Cancellara, Flecha and Leukemans and is the onlyone who can reach Wynants. It looks very close as Wynants still has a small lead but Vanmarcke is coming up with a higher speed.
Wynants just holds off Wynants to take an incredible win for him. Really great attack by him and Vanmarcke saving energy to beat the favourites. Cancellara is the strongest favourite to take 3rd.
Nuyens sprints away from Van Avermaet and Offredo to finish 10th behind Thomas and Ballan. He lost too much energy trying to follow the strongest cobblers.

Nuyens tried to follow the best but isn't strong enough for that. He should look more to riders like Leukemans, Chavanell and Ballan instead of trying to beat the likes of Boonen and Cancellara.
Yeah, was strange to see that Vanmarcke and Wynants still had so much energy left.
Vuelta Ciclista a Catalunya: Stage 5
The 5th stage in Catalunya has 3 longer climbs on the route. We won't see any attacks from the favourites though as there is a long descent towards the finish.
Roberts is in the break for the 2nd day in a row. 8 others joined him. Bobridge (GreenEdge), Nordhaug (Sky), Perez (Euskaltel) and Rabbotini (Farnese Vini) are the biggest names. The peloton shows no interest in chasing whatsoever.
Going over the last hilly sections of the day, Roberts is dropped by his companions. His chances for a stage win look slim. He is clearly suffering from yesterday's efforts.
Ramirez (Andalucia) tried an unsuccesfull attack so the stage will be decided in a sprint. Bobridge is leading the other 7 out so it looks like he is already lost.
Ruben Perez takes a nice win in a close sprint against Nordhaug. Nice victory for an always attacking rider. Rabottini completes the podium. Roberts comes in 5' later. The peloton 12' behind the winner.
