Milano -San Remo Race Preview


This epic italian classic is the first of the Five Monuments of the season. Every team has ambitions on this race and there are a lot of favorites.

CSC has brought a strong squad with two leaders: Karsten Kroon is the guy who can escape and win it. And O'Grady will be there to a sprint finish, if that's the case.

The main favorite is the spanish Oscar Freire, who comes on a great shape from Tirreno Adriatico. He is among the sprinters the one who handles best the hills they will face.

Alessandro Petacchi has won last year and his team will try everything so that the race end on a sprint. With Zabel also there, the team has the best double of sprinters, present here.

Paolo Bettini has also showed great form recently, and if he's a candidate to the Ardennes, he will also try to win on his home country.

Among the other sprinters who might have a chance we have:

- T. Boonen
- S. O'Grady
- R. McEwen
- T. Hushovd
- A. Davis
- F. Pozzato

There are also punchers or climbers who can win in San Remo:

- A. Valverde
- D. Di Luca
- D. Cunego
- A. Vinokourov
- S. Sanchez
- K. Kroon

CSC Squad

- K. Kroon
- S. O'Grady
- K. A. Arvesen
- F. Cancellara
- L. Michaelsen
- J. Piil
- G. Lombardi
- L. I. Bak

The race profile is well known, the longest one day race with 293.5 km, with The Cipressa and Poggio who can make a difference.

Milano - San Remo Race Report


i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/11_zpsc44cbd0a.jpg

With 133 km to go, the BOD starts losing time to the peloton and they now have 9 minutes. The 4 guys are J. Arrieta(AG2R), J. Veikkanen (FDJ), D. Pietropolli(Tenax) and A. Bozhonov (Naturino).

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/21_zpse1ee0022.jpg

And with 38 km to go 4 guys try to break: Hincapie, Dekker, Fédrigo and...Bettini! This might be dangerous...

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/31_zpsb8ab4f87.jpg

Bettini reaches the BOD, while all the others were caught.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/41_zps4fbcc77a.jpg

But Bettini is also caught. 30 km to go and we'll reach Cipressa soon. Only Veikkanen and Pietropolli resist in front.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/51_zps291e4c4e.jpg

Veikkanen is finally caught and the peloton is now compact.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/61_zps44fda1c3.jpg

With 15 km to go and the last difficulty almost here, every favorite is at the front.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/71_zpse9e9b9fd.jpg

Ballan launches an attack at the start of the Poggio...

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/81_zps8bcf220b.jpg

And now it's Karsten Kroon who attacks! Hincapie, Flecha, Bettini and Hoste respond...

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/9_zps9ab67fd4.jpg

Kroon tries again as soon as the peloton reached them...

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/10_zpse79a460d.jpg

And Kroon is giving everything on the way down...

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/11_zps1b579b7d.jpg

...and what a win to Kroon! What a win to CSC!!!

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Milano%20San%20Remo/12_zps17f0ffd3.jpg

A massive crash on the last curve involving Michaelsen. He did a great job today as all CSC team. Let's hope he's ok.

After the bad results on Paris Nice and Tirreno Adriatico, the team had to respond and CSC has done it on great style! The sponsors where looking to a top 3 result, but Kroon with the work of all his team mates took a great win!

Nice job by the team, and some well-deserved bananorma for Karsten.

It was really great the way he attacked almost at the end of Poggio, i left him with some energy attack after his first attempt, and then i just put his effort to 99 and prayed for the peloton not to get him.

And it worked!! Banana

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya Stage 1 and 2


CSC took a very similar squad to the one that was in Tirreno Adriatico, with Sastre leading the team:

- C. Sastre
- M. Ljunqvist
- J. Piil
- N. Sorensen
- I. Cuesta
- L. I. Bak
- B. Vandborg
- C. Muller

Stage 1 Results

A hilly stage with a flat finish made that there was no peloton but just groups arriving to the line. Bak did better than Sastre, who didn't had a good day. French Jérome Pineau took the win.

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya Stage 3


Today is the day where the pure climbers might take advantage as we have an HC climb just 15 km from the final which is also climbing. And before there are two 1st category climbs. CSC is hoping that Sastre's climbing quality shows up today.

The names of Evans, Ardila, Mancebo, Leipheimer, Garzelli or Menchov might also be heard today.

Stage Report

After several attempts a break is finally formed. Names like D. Rebellin (Gerolsteiner), T. Voeckler (Bouygues), M. Velo (Milram), I. Camaño (Euskaltel) and specially S. Botero (Phonak) are enough to make CSC start to worka nd increase the pace. They don't want the 3'20 gap between them to increase.

And the work of CSC have made the BOD arrive at the start of 22 km HC climb on sight.

With 52 km to go and 13 to the end of the climb, Liquigas leader Garzelli decided to attack. Before him, 4 guys have done the same and joined into a 9 men group at the front who have 2'40 on the peloton.

And with 30 km to go Caisse D'Epargne is organizing the chase. There are 3 groups of escapees now, with the race leaders having 3 minutes on the 90 men peloton as they move down into the final climb of the day. Sastre has Sorensen and Cuesta with him, and the GC leader, Koldo Gil still has 4 team mates.

The last group of escapees with Botero and Velo are caught, as the first two groups have joined and have 1'40 on the peloton.

And with the last escapees on sight it is Cuesta who sets the pace to Sastre.

And after Cuesta gave everything, Sastre attacks!

Gil answered and a lot of guys came with him and only Ferrio (3 Molinos) resists at the front.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Volta%20a%20Catalunya/Stage%203/101_zpsa46654a1.jpg

Sastre attacks again as they passed the escapees. But the answer comes again.

Now it's Purito Rodriguez who attacks! He'll soon reach Ferrio and Patxi Vila (Lampre) who had attacked a while ago.

As Leipheimer and Sastre tried to answer to Rodriguez it is now an incredible Gil who comes from behind bringing Astarloza, Evans and Ardila with him.

And Rodriguez wins over Patxi Vila who was the only one that managed to follow his strong attack!

Gil sprints for third and to hold his lead, with Leipheimer being 4th, Ferrio 5th and Carlos Sastre 6th.

CSC team has worked well today and Sastre tried everything but Purito and Gil were stronger. Incredible the work their teams made to get them to the last climb in good conditions.

Dwaars door Vlaanderen


Meanwhile, in Belgium the team will have their cobble guys facing the 1.1 race in Flanders right before Gent-Wevelgem.

With Ljunqvist on Catalunya and Breschel injured, CSC decided to just take 6 riders to this race. But a strong squad capable of discussing the win:

- F. Cancellara
- S. O'Grady
- L. Michaelsen
- M. Johansen
- K. A. Arvesen
- M. Blaudzun

Seven cobble sections, with some hills and a flat finish is what the riders expect today.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Dwaars%20door%20Vlaanderen/13_zps3dc7bae4.jpg

With Boonen, Hincapie, Hoste and Flecha away, Cancellara and O'Grady are big candidates.

The other main favorites are:

- P. Van Petegem
- B. Eisel
- F. Hoj
- R. Hammond
- J. P. Nazon
- J. Kirsipuu

Race Report

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Dwaars%20door%20Vlaanderen/23_zps98614927.jpg

Davitamon-Lotto and Team Discovery have set the pace so far, and with 37 km to go the 7 men BOD only have 2'11. CSC is keeping their short squad energy to the finale km.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Dwaars%20door%20Vlaanderen/33_zps3a06abd5.jpg

And at the end of a steady cobble section Van Petegem attacks and Hammond responds. Now CSC will have to work when we're just 33 km to go.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Dwaars%20door%20Vlaanderen/43_zpsfe7e6cea.jpg

With Petegem and Hammond working together a lot of other guys are attacking as CSC gives everything to close the gap.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Dwaars%20door%20Vlaanderen/53_zps5c3ef73f.jpg

With 17 km to go CSC, FDJ and Gerolsteiner are working together to close he 1'25 gap to Petegem and Hammond. Cornu (Bodysol) is the last remaining from the original break and he is still ahead of the duo.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Dwaars%20door%20Vlaanderen/63_zps8309751b.jpg

And they did it! They caught the 2 dangerous escapees with 10 km to go. One more cobble section to go and this 17 men group should now get Cornu and then discuss the win between them.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Dwaars%20door%20Vlaanderen/83_zpscdd652a4.jpg

And with the 4 men CSC train formed, first Hammond and then Van Petegem attack again. They don't want a sprint finish!

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202006/Dwaars%20door%20Vlaanderen/92_zpsfb4263ed.jpg

Final sprint launched...Hammond has a slight advantage, Cancellara leads to O'Grady with some other guys that might go for it...

O'Grady celebrates as he beats Van Bon (Davitamon) Van Heeswijk (Discovery) for a great win!!

CSC had another great day that ends with a triumph, showing that even with a short team they're ready for the three big cobbles races.

What a race for O'Grady.

Poor Hoste, I guess he'll be 2nd in Flanders.
Forgot this is 2006, Van Petegem still racing! Pfft
