Californian Road - Stage 6
Stijn: It's a hilly and tough stage, that's for sure. But I was thinking, maybe I can hang on and sprint for the win? In the end, the final 20 km is flat!
Willy: I don't really have a plan. We'll see how the legs are today!
Stijn Van Gent
My plan sounded good in theory, but the pace was too high uphill for me No sprint for me today. That's all right!
Willy Wouters
65 km left to go. My legs are feeling incredible. I felt untouchable. So I went!
I picked up the breakaway fairly soon, where Ghyselinck tried to pick up the pace and help me. Because he spend days in the breakaway already, he was gone pretty soon, though.
I soon had more than 3 minutes advantage. I was really gone! Only one man was chasing me properly: Andy Schleck. That guy really has it in for me (see the Tour of Mallorca last year, and Tirreno)
When he first joined me with 25 km left to go, I was kind of relieved. Staying away with two is always easier, and he was 5 minutes down on the GC anyway. But here's the problem, and I'm real angry: In 25 km, he didn't take the lead ONCE.
I tried talking to him, forcing him to take the lead... Nothing worked. He stuck to my wheel, I couldn't bluff to long because Nibali was chasing hard now. In the sprint, he kept at my wheel. And then... Damn him.

It's not often I (Willy) say this, but here is it: Andy Schleck is a coward. I have no other words for it. Right after the race I was extremely pissed off, and still am! I didn't even shake his hand on the podium. 25 km without helping and then outsprinting me, real class(!). If he wants war, he can get war.

Say whaaat? Andy Schleck and being nice are basically each others opposites
Great work keeping this up, Ian. I'm not really commenting much because of the quick progress, but it's impressive to see how far you've reached already.

Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

kimiopn - Let's hope he can have his dish, then
Jakstar22 - I thought so, too. I just thought he was flat out, but he had enough punch for one hell of a sprint!
Pellizotti2 - Appreciate the comment now I'll try to keep it up as long as possible, thanks!
Ollfardh - Winning, apparently. Wrong database, obviously.
dienblad - He ducked out of your story and decided to try and get away with it in my story, the sneaky SoB!
FreitasPCM - sure is
sutty68 - That I can hope for

Californian Road - Stage 7
Stijn: What can I say? I'll be taking it easy for tomorrow's final flat stage!
Willy: I've calmed down since yesterday. I said some harsh things, but I hope people can understand why I said them. Anyway, I will try to force my hand here today.
Stijn Van Gent
Mission accomplished for me. Quite enjoyed the day, temperatures above 20° C, so that was nice.
Willy Wouters
I'm not so good in riding fast and explosive finals, I climb like a time trialist, long but a strong fast pace. So I'm more a guy for longer attacks. Keeping that in mind, I attacked with about 35 km left to go.
I quickly gained a minute, and then it started. One man, and one man only, did everything in his power to bring me back: Andy Schleck. No team mates of him, no other riders, only one man was bringing me back.
And he did it. He single-handedly brought me back to the (massively thinned out) peloton.
And that was it for me. Like I said yesterday, WAR! I'm not proud of it, but I must admit the GC didn't mean anything to me anymore at this point. I wasn't interested in the stage win or whatever, all I cared about is getting back at Schleck. I was like a pit bull.
There were several attacks, but I only had eyes for one man. Contador and Wiggins fighting for the GC win.
And it was Contador who was the strongest today!
I left Schleck's wheel in the final kilometer and took a twenty second gap. I thought it would give me satisfaction, but in the end, it wasn't worth the trouble...

Well, not a very good day, though it depends how you look at it. We just don't know what Andy Schleck was thinking, chasing so hard so early. It's logical you don't want to let a competitor get away to protect your own place, but this was obviously an attack on Willy.
The Points Jersey is long gone, now, too. All that we can do to salvage this Tour is getting Stijn the final stage win?
See you tomorrow,
Stijn & Willy |

War - huh! - What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!
Well, screw Andy, hope you can get back at him soon.

cunego59 - Very true, very true
I sure hope to get some revenge on Andy, though. Maybe in the Tour |

Annoying Andy.
Can't he just retire out of the race, just like real life?
Anyway, Willy got a very strong GC position, even though he wasn't focussing on that. Could've been better if he did though...

fcancellara - Sure was. Hope to put USA behind them soon, though
Jesleyh - I wish he did Willy had a very good chance, until Schleck went mad and caught him (and blew his own chances!!). I think Willy didn't even do triathlon, he just trained in the mountains, the sneaky bastard |

Californian Road - Stage 8
The final stage in this Californian Tour.
Stijn: I expect a fast, fast pace. A 74 km critérium through the streets of Los Angeles. The winner will get a kiss from Angelina Jolie, no?
Willy: Today, I just want to peddle along, I guess.
Willy Wouters
Kristoff went into the attack.
I had a nice chat with Stijn today (like we don't chat every day...) in the pack. At least that was before the pace went up, like way high!
This Tour of California didn't have enough controversy yet, it seems. After nearly hitting Jan Ghyselinck a few days ago, the organization-car hit a strike today. Breakaway member Antomarchi (TT1) was the victim. Luckily he was able to finish.
Stijn Van Gent
You can learn a lot in a tour by watching carefully. Today I fought for Goss' wheel.
Coming around the final corner, I was sure I'd made the right decision.
But clearly somebody thought differently. Cavendish returns to form and takes the win.

Well. Second behind Cavendish isn't bad, but this Tour hasn't been exactly the greatest race of our careers. We're looking forward to go home. That's all for today. Instead of ranting about bad luck, here are the final standings of the Giro d'Italia!
Results - Giro d'Italia 2014
Rodriguez was in the lead before the final race, a time trial. Hats off to Kruijswijk, who was the perfect team mate for Rodriguez but managed a great place himself, too!
Stef Clement won the final time trial just ahead of Gretsch! Rodriguez won two stages, so all in all a great race for the team.

Well, nobody can stop Cav, even Stijn can't...
A shame that J-Rod couldn't get the maglia rossa home, but well, 3rd isn't bad, and I imagine that he didn't get much better in his last years
Steven did a good job as well
