Route Adélie de Vitré
Considered flat, wich i found wrong, this race is one up and down and with the finish line uphill, maybe a puncher or even breakaway can win here...  H. Becker is our man for today...  H. Sastre returns to competition..
SQUAD
BOTD with 8 riders,  T. Giang is our rider there..
76kms to go, peloton is chasing at high speed... gap drops from over 7´00" to 4´04" ...
In front group, no one wants to help Giang, he´s left alone with the relay.. 50kms and 2´40"gap..
38kms,  M. Eibegger(GMS) gets away from breaaway group... peloton splits..
With 14kms to go, breakaway is caught... H. Becker takes this moment to get away from the pack...
5kms.... Becker has 1´15" advantage...
2,5kms.... behind at the pack, we form a train for Sastre..
H. Becker wins in his homeland... great ride.. Pumarejo and Sastre finish inside top10 too...
Race Result
Teams
Great win by Becker and Pumarejo/Sastre did great too, bringing us team ranking winners...

Gran Premio Miguel Indurain
 G. Koob will lead us here...
Squad
BOTD with 3 riders....  P. Kamentsev(Once),  F. Duque(COL) and  A. Tennent(MGT)..
67kms to ride, Androni team makes the pace in peloton, gap drops to 4´34"...
At the front, F. Duque can´t keep with the pace from Kamentsev.... Tennant struggles...
36kms... now it´s team NetApp Endura who makes the pace in one already reduced peloton... 41 riders... Kamentsev is the only escaped rider now with 2´12" gap...
12kms, Kamentsev is caught... good ride..  F. Pellizotti attacks... H. Becker,  S. Ribeiro, A.D. Aroca and some more riders counter... Koob is a little behind... he missed this one..
The riders can already see finish line... one small but very hard hill waits for them...
2kms, Becker is approaching Pellizotti....
Pellizotti starts to sprint... Becker behind, then comes S. Ribeiro with Koob on his wheel...
Pellizotti starts to celebrate... Becker misses final speed...
And F. Pellizotti wins.. H. Becker is 2nd...
... and G. Koob overtakes S. Ribeiro for 3rd place... great result once again..
Race Result
Check these gaps out... way to much don´t you think?
Teams
For the 1st time in 1month we don´t win teams ranking... why? i think you know...
We did great but i wanted the win...  .. we have one more classic to ride and then March month is over..

I know how you feel about the motivation
I find that if you don't report every day you look forward to the next instalment even more |

Yes, thank you for understand
I started this story with the thought it would not have big and detailled reports but i see that i´m doing that slowly and if there are no comments about what i post, i loose my motivation for doing it detailled....and to post every day..
ex: i thought this post from my newest rider I.Love would be nice but there wasn´t one single comment about it,... i´m not saying you guys( or all of you) must comment every shit i post but one single comment about it gives me motivation to continue to post such things because i know someone will see it... after all the blinds here are in my team...

Vuelta Ciclista a la Rioja
Mass sprint finish is what all expect here... H. Sastre is our man for today..
Squad
10 men went away and saw that they would make it until the end but my team worked so hard and well at the front of the pack to annulate this break, they eventually did it... it would be mass sprint finish...
Peloton entered last km with S. Firsanov(RVL) leading...
On the right, M. Cardoso(CJR) comes very fast, F. Senechal(ETI) on his wheel and H. Sastre behind...
Firsanov looses speed... Cardoso already feels Senechal at his side...
.. but there comes E. Battaglin(BAR) very fast...Sastre stucks behind Senechal...
H. Sastre makes the move... Senechal is head to head with Cardoso...
Battaglin wants the win too... Sastre can´t find a way to pass...
.. and M. Cardoso manages to stay 2 cms ahead of Senechal to take the win... Sastre makes 4th place...
Race Result
Teams
Not bad result for us... 4th for Sastre and 5th for the team..

Sastre did well in the sprint finish at Rioja
(by the way loving the side-on sprint pics)
And nice to see ONCE at the top of the rankings with ten wins already |

The screens are always amazing, but those side sprint ones were
off-the-charts.

*sutty68
Thank you...
Well, it wasn´t bad from Sastre but there is something wrong with him when sprinting... if i tell him to sprint inside last km he takes too long to win speed and can´t win or overtake the others.... but if i tell him to sprint before last km mark, he looses his energy before finish line... .. there must be one way around it but i need to find it out..
Glad you like the screens...
*welker3257
Thank you... , well the best time to make screens is at the replay(automatic) after race end...
*Ian Butler
Thank you
Thank you all for your comments...
Well, i´m racing Pays de la Loire and want to tell you the rest of the season i will post only final results... when the team wins i´ll post finish screen ...
