With Roulston and Goss you have a nice lead-out for Caveman, let's see how Martin is doing!
Maybe Martin instead of Roulston will be the lead-out with Goss ´cause Martin has the better flat stat! |

Volta ao Algarve
Stage 1 : Albufeira - Olhao
First stage is a bit hilly but in the end it´s totally flat and so we´re expecting a mass sprint with Cavendish,Boasson Hagen,Cooke,Van Avermaet and many more
The breakaway with 3 riders today
With only 8 km to go Martin and Cavendish are searching for the best position but Goss will not take part in today´s sprint;he´s too tired
Only 4km to go and Martin leads out Cavendish today.Sky is on the left side with Flecha and Boasson Hagen.Saxo Bank even has two sprint trains today!!One for O´Grady and one for Breschel
The sprint already began and Cavendish is really fast while Van Avermaet is in front
Cavendish´s acceleration is so strong i never thought that before
He takes an impressive stage win
Boasson Hagen takes the second place in a close finish against 3 Saxo Bank riders

Stage 2 : Lagoa - Lagos
After the first win for Cavendish this season we hope he can repeat that today in a possible mass sprint.The stage is mostly flat except a few climbs in the beginning and the middle but like yesterday the end is quite flat
At the front we had Staf Scheirlinckx who was alone for the most kilometres
And with only 10 kilometre to go he was still in front of the first chasing group
This is the chasing group with Dimitriy Muravyev but the gap to Scheirlinckx is too big
Last kilometre for Staf it seems that the pack is too slow today
At least they can catch the chasing group but if they can reach Scheirlinckx??
The sprint trains are so fast that they can get a small gap to the pack;Martin and Cavendish took the Sky slipstream today
Cavendish makes his move maybe he can take the second place;Scheirlinckx should be the winner
Jürgen Roelandts is in front,Cavendish is accelerating now
Scheirlinckx takes the stage and the yellow jersey from Cavendish
Behind,Vicioso wins the sprint against Cavendish and Jürgen Roelandts
Stage results
| 1 | Staf Scheirlinckx | Omega Pharma - Lotto | 4h39'09 | | 2 | Ángel Vicioso | Andalucía Cajasur | + 38 | | 3 | Mark Cavendish | Team HTC - Columbia | s.t. | | 4 | Jürgen Roelandts | Omega Pharma - Lotto | s.t. | | 5 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Sky Professional Cycling Team | s.t. | | 6 | Jonas Ljungblad | Omega Pharma - Lotto | s.t. | | 7 | Russell Downing | Sky Professional Cycling Team | s.t. | | 8 | John Gadret | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 9 | Matti Breschel | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | 10 | Tony Martin | Team HTC - Columbia | s.t. | | 11 | Johan Coenen | Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator | s.t. | | 12 | Manuel Vázquez | Andalucía Cajasur | s.t. | | 13 | Roger Kluge | Team Milram | s.t. | | 14 | Stuart O'Grady | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | 15 | Domenik Klemme | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. |

Stage 3 : Vila Real de Santo Antonio - Malhao
The third stage should be the queen stage of this tour.We´re expecting an exciting finish on the last climb with only 3-4 kilometres to go.Tony Martin will try to get a good result but the competition is great with for example Cancellara,Arvesen,Gerdemann,Vicioso,Boasson Hagen,Jens Voigt,Anton or Bradley Wiggins
The breakaway had no single chance today!After the unlucky stage yesterday where the break won the stage our team didn´t let them go
There we are on the last climb and we haven´t wait really long for the first attacks.Vicioso and Boasson Hagen make their moves
Tony Martin reacts quickly and goes after them
Boasson Hagen,Vicioso and Tony Martin could get a little gap to the pack while Jens Voigt starts his attack
At the last kilometre brand Boasson Hagen starts another attack but also Voigt is there and goes after him;Tony Martin seems to be tired and he cannot follow at the moment
The sprint begins!!Voigt is really strong today if Boasson Hagen can beat him??It seems that Hagen lost the most of his energy in the last move
Martin starts to sprint but his energy is over,he´s totally fatigued
No one could hold on with Jens Voigt today,the German one is just too strong and powerful on this stage and so he takes the stage win and the leader´s jersey
Boasson Hagen becomes second in the end in front of Igor Anton
And here comes Tony Martin he lost 1´30 to Voigts in the end but still a good result
Stage results
| 1 | Jens Voigt | Team Saxo Bank | 4h34'06 | | 2 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Sky Professional Cycling Team | + 18 | | 3 | Igor Antón | Euskaltel - Euskadi | + 26 | | 4 | Kurt-Asle Arvesen | Sky Professional Cycling Team | + 34 | | 5 | Ángel Vicioso | Andalucía Cajasur | + 42 | | 6 | David Blanco | Palmeiras Resort - Tavira | + 58 | | 7 | José Luis Arrieta | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 8 | Gorka Verdugo | Euskaltel - Euskadi | + 1'06 | | 9 | Fabian Cancellara | Team Saxo Bank | + 1'14 | | 10 | Linus Gerdemann | Team Milram | s.t. | | 11 | Christian Knees | Team Milram | s.t. | | 12 | Christophe Riblon | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 13 | John Gadret | AG2R La Mondiale | + 1'22 | | 14 | Tony Martin | Team HTC - Columbia | + 1'30 | | 15 | Beñat Intxausti | Euskaltel - Euskadi | s.t. |
Overall
| 1 | Jens Voigt | Team Saxo Bank | 13h30'34 | | 2 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Sky Professional Cycling Team | + 16 | | 3 | Igor Antón | Euskaltel - Euskadi | + 32 | | 4 | Kurt-Asle Arvesen | Sky Professional Cycling Team | + 44 | | 5 | Ángel Vicioso | Andalucía Cajasur | + 46 | | 6 | Staf Scheirlinckx | Omega Pharma - Lotto | + 1'02 | | 7 | José Luis Arrieta | AG2R La Mondiale | + 1'08 | | 8 | David Blanco | Palmeiras Resort - Tavira | s.t. | | 9 | Gorka Verdugo | Euskaltel - Euskadi | + 1'16 | | 10 | Fabian Cancellara | Team Saxo Bank | + 1'24 | | 11 | Christophe Riblon | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 12 | Christian Knees | Team Milram | s.t. | | 13 | Linus Gerdemann | Team Milram | s.t. | | 14 | John Gadret | AG2R La Mondiale | + 1'32 | | 15 | Tony Martin | Team HTC - Columbia | + 1'40 |

just another thing that would help to be in-person rather than typing on a forum cause then it would have made more sense.
