25th February 2010 - Vuelta a AndalucÃa Stage 5 (Torrox Costa to Antequera)
Iglinskiy wins final stage, but Wiggins finish causes an Astana Outrage
Maxim Iglinskiy won the final stage of the Vuelta a AndalucÃa, in a Astana and Footon-Servetto dominated Top 10, but their delight soon turned to outrage, as Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins won the Overall Classification Jersey.
Wiggins, who took one of the Intermediate Sprints along the route, finished the Vuelta a AndalucÃa on the same time as Alexandre Vinokourov overall, but due to a higher average position over the 5 stages, took the Overall Victory. The decision did not seem to go down well with the Astana team, who finished the final stage with 5 rider in the Top 10.
On a day of little attacks and a fast paced peleton, it was Stefano Garzelli who was the most active on the stage, as he took the Mountain Classification Jersey on the final with 43 points overall. After a disappointing Vuelta a AndalucÃa, this was a good finish for him. The pace of the peleton could be visible seen, as only 57 riders remained in the pack after the first climb.
Next came the moment for controversy. As the peleton approached the Intermediate Sprint at the 58km, Team Sky hit the front, making sure it was Wiggins who crossed the line first. He did, gaining 6" in the process, thanks to the bonus seconds. This tied him with Vinokourov overall, and who it would all end was up in the air.
Again the peleton stayed together on the stage, until Jérôme Baugnies from the Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator team attack for the finish with 50km remaining. Only Tomasz Kiendys from CCC Polsat decided to go with him, but soon both were riding alone.
Kiendys did not last long on his own sadly, and it was the 10km to go mark when Baugnies was caught. So a mass sprint for the remaining 40 riders would be the outcome. Astana and Footon-Servetto hit the front, and soon they split the rest of the riders on the final rise to the finish. But on the decent to the line, everyone was back together and as Astana and Footon refused to sprint at the end, it was clear something had upset them.
As the results were announced, the reason revealed itself. Vinokourov had lost his Overall Lead on the final day, thanks to the higher average of finishes on the stages accumulated by Wiggins. Vinokourov in the end gets the consolation of the Points Jersey, but no doubt that will not make up for the lose of the Overall.

Team Reaction to the Race:
Despite the controversial finish to the race, it was still a success for the team. For many of the riders, like Löfkvist and Gerrans, this was their first race of the season in the colours of Team Sky, and they did extremely well.
Wiggins was outstanding all race long. On the stages, he was able to push Vinokourov to his limits, in particularly stage 1 where he dropped him 3 times, and in the Time Trial, he was able to claw back the necessary time to push the battle to the final stage. Lets hope he can show this sort of form and fitness at first in the Giro d'Italia, where a Top 10 finish on GC is the target, and of course later at the Tour de France in July.

27th February 2010 - GP dell'insubria-Lugano
The GP dell'insubria-Lugano is a single day road race based in and around Lake Como. Travelling across the border to Italy and back again to Switzerland, this is the 2nd edition of the race, having first run in 2009. It is classified as a 1.1 on the UCI Europe Tour.
Team Sky head to the event with the same bunch of riders which came back from the Tour de Haut Var. Having taken the KOM Jersey at the event, Peter Kennaugh is the rider who comes into this with some form, but with Dario Cioni and Morris Possoni heading onto home soil for a small section of the race, they will also be looking to impress.
The one and only winner of the event in 2009 was Francesco Ginanni.

27th February 2010 - GP dell'insubria-Lugano (Campione d'Italia-Pieve Vergonte)
The second ever GP dell-insubria-Lugano takes the riders to Campione d'Italia to Pieve Vergonte, with the peleton riding around the beautiful Italian and Swiss Alpine Lakes.
Following a flat start to the stage, the riders end with 2 difficult climbs after a 3 lap circuit around the finish in Pieve Vergonte. With two steep climbs in the last 20km, this should be a stage for a puncheur and climber, and the sprinter's team should not really be involved too much at the finish.
Riders to Watch: M. Scarponi, D. Martin, N. Roche, S. Szmyd
My Tip for the Stage: N. Roche. The Irishman has shown year on year that he is constantly improving in his climbing ability, and today will be a good test what stage he is at this year.

27th February 2010 - GP dell'insubria-Lugano (Campione d'Italia-Pieve Vergonte)
Martin late attack gets him victory in the Lakes
Dan Martin's late attack on the final climb was enough to take victory ahead of an advancing peleton in Pieve Vergonte. The Garmin man left his rival in the saddle and did enough to hold on in the final metres.
On a day of little attacks, it was only in the final laps of the circuit at the finish where the action hotted up. The only attack on the stage was by Miche rider Przemyslaw Niemiec, but it only lasted for around 15 kilometres, gaining no more than a minute in the process. The peleton seemed very keen on stopping any attack on the flat, as firstly Garmin-Transitions and then AG2R La Mondiale took control.
As the riders entered the final 3 lap circuit in Pieve Vergonte, Martin made his first move. Followed by Possoni of Team Sky and Nocentini of AG2R, they gained around 45" over the pack before deciding to be allowed to be caught again on the next decent. And then with the others looking at each other for the next move, Martin went again, and there was no reaction for any other rider, and despite attacking just 10km beforehand, Martin looked in good shape as he pulled out a 37" lead.
On the decent to finish, the pack couldn't fully get the Garmin man in their sights, and he looked like he would take the win. But it was not going to be an easy end for him. Behind the sprint of the remaining peleton had started, and were closing in fast, but it was just too late as Martin came across the line with metres to spare and take his first win of the season.

Team Reaction to the Race:
It was a good enough by the Team, missing out on a podium place by a matter of inches. With no really attacks on the stage, we knew it would be down to the final climb that would decide the outcome, and we sadly got in the wrong positions when it came to Martin's second and decisive attack for the win, which was a little disapponting. Again, Chris Froome is looking short of form, but at this is early stage of the season, it is not a major worrying point.

27th February 2010 - Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
The Omloop Het Nieuwsblad is first Cobbled Classic of the season, and will be an early test for those who have the Paris-Roubaix and Ronde van Vlaanderen in their Season Plan.
First run in 1945 as a Cobbled Classic rival to the Ronde van Vlaanderen, it used many of the same climbs found on the RvV, and is widely used by riders in Preparation for the bigger event. Until 2009, it was called the Omloop Het Volk, named after the Het Volk newspaper, but when the newspaper stopped publishing, the name was changed to Het Nieuwsblad.
Team Sky come here with a strong cobbled team. Juan Antonio Flecha will be the leader for the race, with Edvald Boasson Hagen in support. They will be both aided by Matthew Hayman and Ian Stannard. It will be a good test for the team as we prepare for the Paris-Roubaix and Ronde van Vlaanderen in late March.
Previous winners of the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad include Nick Nuyens, Philippe Gilbert, Filippo Pozzato and most recent in 2009, Thor Hushovd.

27th February 2010 - Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (Ghent-Ghent)
The 65th Omloop Het Nieuwsblad has the riders travelling on a looped circuit, starting and ending in Ghent. With 9 cobbled sections on the route, this will be a stage for a Cobbled Specialist, and should test the legs of the riders with the other classics in mind.
Riders to Watch: T. Boonen, F. Pozzato, J. Flecha, S. Devolder
My Tip for the Stage: S. Devolder. As a 2-time winner of the Ronde van Vlaanderen and former Belgian National Champion, Stijn Devolder should know these roads like the back of his hand, and I think he will come out on top today

28th February 2010 - Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne (Kuurne-Kuurne)
After an undulating start to the stage with 5 cobbled sections, the route flattens out towards the end, and if the sprinters can survive the beginning of the race, we should have a mass sprint at the finish today.
With a strong start list this year, expect fireworks along the route and at the end, as the favourites battle it out.
Riders to Watch: T. Hushovd, T. Boonen, F. Cancellara, F. Pozzato
My Tip for the Stage: T. Boonen. The Belgian National Champion is a 2-time winner of the event, and following his victory at the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad yesterday, he is going into this event with a bit of form.
