Stage 2
Its the first hilly stage of the tour and as predicted, many attacks came on the last hill - but surprisingly, Cobo and Nibali were not amongst them, and I feel them to be Pliuschin's rivals here. Pliuschin did try to attack but all he got was 2 red bars for his effort.
Two frenchmen did get away though. Sebastien Joly (CSC) and Remi di Gregorio (Discovery) - both former FDJ teammates.
And they would stay away. Di Gregorio led the sprint out and Joly waited and waited - before making his move late with 600m to go. But it was enoug htime for Joly as he edged through to win the stage and take the race lead.

Stage 4
Its another hilly stage
Pliuschin seems pretty relaxed here with 37km to go - but he is isolated, the only DFL rider left in the bunch.
However he is feeling strong, and +5 daily forms need taking advantage of - he attacks with 14km to go.
Theres no response, he gets a minutes lead!
He charges towards the line, only celebrating after it is crossed! He takes the leaders jersey.

Stage 5
This TT is a good opportunity for Pliuschin to distance rivals in the GC.
Sebastien Rosseler was expected to win and set a good time
But surprisingly, JJ Cobo beat him. Cobo must be in top form and is now a real threat to Pliuschin having won the stage
Pliuschin took 3rd, losing 35 seconds on Cobo but keeping a 45 second advantage on him overall.

Stage 6
Its the critical mountain stage and Cobo will be hard to beat - if Cobo can beat Pliuschin in an ITT by 35 seconds when he has 73 TT and Pliuschin has 78TT - how can Pliuschin hope to stay with him now in the mountains when they both have the same mountain stat? Itll certainly be tough.
With a KoM just 1km into the stage, Geraint Thomas got himself to the front of the peleton on the startline and made a quick attack to take the points
The break that forms today has plenty of German interest with Gerdemann (Caisse), Burghardt (FDJ) and Kloden (Lampre) - although neither Kloden nor Gerdemann are in form and are both over 20 minutes down in the GC.
Credit Agricole have controlled the pace all day and when Cobo attacks, Pliuschin knows he must follow
But following Cobo proves impossible, the Spaniard (No doubt with a +5 daily form and a green moment) stormed away.
Pliuschin had to settle in the chase group with Nibali, Rasmussen, Leipheimer and Di Gregorio - Cobo is already 2 minutes ahead though
Cobo must be on drugs, his lead extends
Cobo wins
Pliuschin is 4th as hig group comes in over 3 minutes down

So, heres a fairly brief report of the boring Tirreno-Adriatico.
Team: Nolf, Coyot, Goss, Ignatiev, Stevic, Sulzberger, Efimkin, Wiggins
Stage 1
Hushovd wins ahead of Bennati and O'Grady. Only Ignatiev and Nolf finish with the peleton.
Stage 2
Pozzato outsprints Haussler and Haedo. Ignatiev takes DFL's best stage finish on the whole tour with 42nd, while Nolf and Stevic also finish with the peleton.
Stage 3
Flat stage but with a tough hill/mountain at the short that needs climbing and then descending. Wiggins, Coyot and Goss all finish outside the time limit. Matti Breschel opened up a huge gap in the sprint but stopped sprinting with 1km to go - he was only passed with 300m to go so he threw away a victory but its okay for him since teammate Di Luca won the sprint ahead of Capecchi and Sutton. No DFL rider finished in the peleton.
Stage 4
The all-important mountain stage saw Alejandro Valverde power to victory. Over a minute ahead of Di Luca, Cunego, Gusev, Chavanel and Nocentini. Efimkin is the best placed DFL rider in 80th. I abandoned Ivan Stevic from the race to save race days.
Stage 5
Efimkin and Sulzberger abandoned to save race days leaving just Nolf and Ignatiev in the race for us - Nolf for race days and Ignatiev for XP. Mark Cavendish is fastest in the sprint but a poor position means he cant quite win, finishing a tight 3rd behind stage winner Farrar and 2nd placed Capecchi. Ignatiev and Nolf finished in the peleton.
Stage 6
Cancellara won the time trial. Ignatiev was 47th and Nolf 60th.
Stage 7
Cavendish was again the fastest sprinter but again didnt win, taking 2nd behind Haedo.
Final GC:
1 Alejandro Valverde CAISSE D'EPARGNE 20h20'12

Paris-Nice was one of his peak races. His form was in the 90s all race.
