This is the first chance for the sprinters. Also it`s the last before 3 harder stages. As there is no real great sprinter here some other sprinters have a chance to get a quite prestigious win.
Most important for us is to avoid crashes. If Fischer can also get a good result it would be a very nice day for us.

Lots of attacks on the first kilometers. So it lasts 35km until a group stayed:
Renev (Astana), Botella (Xacobeo), Löwik (Omega), Celis (Footon), Khalilov (Katusha), Arrieta (Ag2r), N.Sörensen (Saxobank), Kostyuk (ISD), Stauff (Quickstep), Castroviejo (Euskaltel), Cabello and Estrada Ruiz (both Andalucia) and Lancaster (Cervelo)

Several teams are doing the pace behind. Also Lance Armstrong is riding for Leipheimer.

Neo pro Robert Hayles was trying to joint the group since the first moment but wasn`t able to reach it and so he rode for many kms between both groups before he felt back into the peloton.
He will reach the finish as very last with a big time difference.

Another big favourite is already doing the pace on a flat stage.
Czech champion Roman Kreuziger is helping Nibali.
30km -> 2'24

Just 5km to the line the break is over and now the sprint preparation begins.

Fischer is hanging between the two HTC riders Reynes and Sieberg but he is almost a bit out of power after the fast chase during the last 20km.

In the end it is the strongest sprinter. Tomas Vaitkus wins the first stage this season. Je is ahead of Sabatini and Gavazzi. Fischer is on a good 10th.

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya - Stage 3
La Vall d'En Bas - La Seu d'Urgell

img827.imageshack.us/img827/6131/profilecw.jpg
This is the first of 3 hard stages in a row. We expect many riders falling back on the mountains but as the last 20km is a descent again a bigger group will probably come together again.
But nevertheless we will see the riders with ambitions and form here.

img3.imageshack.us/img3/4394/pcm0008m.jpg
After 2km some riders bolt: Kuschynski /Liquigas), Merino (Footon), Belkov (ISD), Capecchi (Lampre), Jufre Pou (Astana), Castroviejo (Euskaltel), Ramirez (Andalucia) and Porte (Saxobank).
So a favourite for the overall is also in this group.

img594.imageshack.us/img594/7236/pcm0009.jpg
On the next climb at 45km some more riders are joining. Van De Walle (Omega), Moerenhout (Rabobank), Muravyev (RadioShack), M.Wyss (Cervelo) and Horrach (Katusha).


img521.imageshack.us/img521/5069/pcm0010u.jpg
So it`s especially HTC, Caisse and Garmin without a rider in front.
We decided to wait as we didn`t know how much support Kessiakoff needs.
126km -> 4'00

img816.imageshack.us/img816/8236/pcm0011.jpg
Reaching the second mountain sprint the group around Porte has their maximum advantage of 7'20.
Will it be a big clou by Saxobank?

img841.imageshack.us/img841/7931/pcm0012e.jpg
On the highest point, the "Alto de la Jose del Cad", they still lead with 4'24 and just 51km to go plus a long descent where they probably won`t lose too much time.

img140.imageshack.us/img140/9173/pcm0013p.jpg
Last climb and the first favourite attacks. Egoi Martinez jumps out of the field and just Nibali and Moreno are following, but all of them will be caught during the next 10 kilometers.

img251.imageshack.us/img251/3636/pcm0014n.jpg
On the descent they group can already see the peloton a few corners behind them. But they still have 1'05 with 10km to go. It might be enough for them.

img151.imageshack.us/img151/678/pcm0015u.jpg
Van De Walle attacks out of the group and creates a gap quickly. 2 riders try to follow but they don`t really work together.

img28.imageshack.us/img28/4230/pcm0016b.jpg
This was a perfect attack by him. He wins this stage ahead of his old group mates and the peloton. As they lost a lot of time on the last 3 flat kilometers all of them are counted with the same time.
Robert Hayles (Sky) who did a long solo ride yesterday felt out of the time limit today. So it probably takes some more races before he is used in the professional tempo.

Good 10 place with Fischer and i hope you can win the overall!

Hope so, too. But my experience with this profiles is that there are almost no time gaps.
The winner in the prologue has best chances to win the overall.
The hills are not hard enough and in the end there are descents where everything runs together again.

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya - Stage 4
Oliana - Ascó

img100.imageshack.us/img100/2716/profilerp.jpg
The first half isn`t very hard but on the last 50km the riders have to climb the "Alt de Paumeres" twice.

img831.imageshack.us/img831/3151/pcm0001u.jpg
Faiers (Footon), Renev (Astana) and Westra (Rabobank) are escaping after 30km.

img208.imageshack.us/img208/9494/pcm0002v.jpg
35km later some riders are joining them.
Ladagnous (FDJ), Lancaster (Cervelo), Vigano (Sky), Montenegro (Andalucia), Kritskiy (Katusha), Martinez (Xacobeo), Kostyuk (ISD), Vanmarcke (Omega), Kump and Zaugg (both Liquigas).
Most dangerous in this group is Montenegro with just 3'52 back. All others have already about 8min.

img295.imageshack.us/img295/89/pcm0003.jpg
RadioShack, Caisse and HTC are doing the pace. It`s looking quite good for the group actually.
90km -> 11'00

img40.imageshack.us/img40/9236/pcm0004x.jpg
The first climb starts. 500 metres in height on about 10km.
54km -> 9'09

img143.imageshack.us/img143/3816/pcm0006l.jpg
Because of the climb the breakaway group splitted into 4 parts.
The strongest are Ladagnous, Westra and Vanmarcke.
Montenegro is 1min behind them in the second group. He has still chances for a big jump in the overall. But there is still a 2nd climb.

img442.imageshack.us/img442/273/pcm0007.jpg
There Kessiakoff and Lowe are increasing the tempo and immediately many riders get dropped.

img51.imageshack.us/img51/4394/pcm0008m.jpg
A group with most favourites are splitted of the peloton including Kessiakoff, Martin, Florencio, Barredo, Popovych and Moreno.
The Caisse and Liquigas riders are missing as also Basso and Cataldo and Bakelands.

img35.imageshack.us/img35/7189/pcm0010m.jpg
On the descent everything rode together unfortunately and so Kessiakoff tries it again on the last little climb 7,4km to the finish.

img705.imageshack.us/img705/8236/pcm0011.jpg
Ladagnous wins this stage. On the last meters he get rid of Westra and Vanmarcke and can celebrate now.

img196.imageshack.us/img196/3879/pcm0012mm.jpg
After many other break riders Kessiakoff is coming first but unfortunately the peloton is already directly behind him.
So another day without time gaps between the favourites.
Montenegro reached the finish with about 3min ahead of the favourites and made a small jump forwards.
Saxobank`s leader Porte lost more than 3min today and felt back quite a lot.

Nice try from Kessiakoff! Too bad that he did not gain time.

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya - Stage 5
Ascó - Cabacés

img295.imageshack.us/img295/8962/profilew.jpg
This is the last hilly stage and so probably the last chance for the favourites.
The hill starting at 150km is probably to short and the descent too long for big gaps.
But we will try it with Kessiakoff to keep our top 10 and maybe a bit more.

img18.imageshack.us/img18/9241/pcm0013.jpg
After 30km Mori (Lampre), Hernandez (Astana), N.Sörensen (Saxobank), Eibegger (Footon), Sesma (Euskaltel), Kadri (Ag2r), Pacheco (Xacobeo), Roux (FDJ) and Downing (Sky) are forming the group of the day.
None of them is really dangerous.

img812.imageshack.us/img812/1290/pcm0014a.jpg
Several teams are doing the pace behind. Especially Gretsch, Monfort and Sieberg are doing an incredible job for Martin as they were working on every day.
93km -> 6'00

img229.imageshack.us/img229/1864/pcm0015.jpg
Kadri leads the group over the 2nd last mountain. Their advantage becomes smaller.
50km -> 4'34

img266.imageshack.us/img266/3420/pcm0016.jpg
As prmomised it`s Kessiakoff again. He increases the tempo a lot on the last climb trying to get a last chance.

img215.imageshack.us/img215/2092/pcm0017.jpg
When Martin recognizes that Kessiakoffs pace is too much for his helpers he attacks on the 15km sign while catching the breakaway. Kessiakoff and some other riders follow him.

img233.imageshack.us/img233/5456/pcm0018e.jpg
But it`s just Cobo, who can close the gap to him. Eibegger was the last survivor of the group hanging on Cobo`s wheel.

img828.imageshack.us/img828/8817/pcm0019.jpg
Everything came together on the descent again. So it`s the next Caisse rider with a attack. Gutierrez tries it with just 2km to go. Bakelands and Basso try to close the gap.
Will it be enough for him? He looks very strong...

img213.imageshack.us/img213/5359/pcm0020.jpg
...and indeed he is celebrating. But then we are informed that there will be a photo finish between him, Niabli and Martin. In the end it was Nibali ahead of Martin. Gutierrez just became 3rd and so he might have ignored the celebration and sprinting 1m more. Bad luck for him.
Kessiakoff and Lowe both arrived in this big group.
(Definitely not my favourite race as it`s not selective at all)

On the screenshot of the finish it looks like Gutierrez won even if you look at the wheels.

I know Grin
Probably the line is not really right this time.

I also agree that this race sucks. It's very difficult to make any time differences.

Just played the same stage and had the same Grin

You've got to keep Kessiakoff in the top-10, with bonifications, everything's possible. Pfft
 
Daeni12
Good top10 place,but bad luck with the time gapGrin

Thanks for the comments.

Decided to finish the Catalunya report first, then a short summary about Criterium International and then the E3 and Gent Wevelgem.
Would be a total mess if I mix them like Tirreno and Paris Nice.

Volta Ciclista a Catalunya - Stage 6
El Vendrell - Barcelona

img543.imageshack.us/img543/1281/profilesl.jpg
This stage will be easier than the last 3. Biggest difficulty is the hill in Barcelona directly in front of the finish which is passed twice.
So the last 2km are uphill and quite steep, so everybody must be attentive.

img688.imageshack.us/img688/2460/pcm0004h.jpg
Directly after the start a small group jumps away.
Kostyuk (ISD), Cabello (Andalucia), Kadri (Ag2r), Jerome (Bbox), Castroviejo (Euskaltel), Vigano (Sky) and Danny Pate (Garmin).
Most of them were already in the break on other stages but none of them were successful.

img248.imageshack.us/img248/7652/pcm0005n.jpg
Castroviejo, who was in lots of groups in this early season, leads the group over the highest point.
128km -> 5'03

img517.imageshack.us/img517/3032/pcm0006.jpg
In the peloton it`s the same picture like every day. HTC is doing the most work. Reynes, Monfort and Gretsch aren`t complaining in the knowledge that they will get their chance in other races, too.
117km -> 6'40

img185.imageshack.us/img185/3079/pcm0007a.jpg
Climbing the hill the first time the group passes the finish line the first time. Jerome felt back on the steep climb. But also the peloton is coming very fast from behind.
The group won`t have success unfortunately.

img822.imageshack.us/img822/9654/pcm0008y.jpg
In front of the 10km sign everything is in the oack again.

img831.imageshack.us/img831/6848/pcm0009z.jpg
The favourites and some hilly sprinters are in the front now to avoid losing time. Just 2,6km to go but the way is very hard. Directly in front of it`s like a wall.

img72.imageshack.us/img72/7236/pcm0010.jpg
Guess who? Who else than Cataldo could be this Quickstep rider.
This is the season of his life. He didn`t even had that many career wins before than in this 3 month of 2011.
Nibali and Iglinsky can just watch his back.
Kessiakoff defends his top 10 result with a 8th today.
In the overall he was listed as 9th. Cobo underestimated the last climb obviously and was in a later group of the splitted peloton together with some other riders expected in front like Moreno, Velits or Intxausti.
Also Lowe`S 15th now is better than expected.

This is a chance for the sprinters again. Murilo Fischer is in a great shape but because of his age we can`t expect a win here. Another top 10 result would already be great for him.

img838.imageshack.us/img838/8236/pcm0011.jpg
21km and no single attack so far. Kreder was waiting for a attacking group but now he is trying it on his own. Unfortunately no team wants to be in this group and so he is riding alone today.

img220.imageshack.us/img220/9706/pcm0012j.jpg
The lonely rider arrives on top of the mountain and takes the few points here. It`s of course the best thing for our sponsor. Lots of talking about Garmin - Transitions and half of the TV broadcast is with a Garmin jersey.
61km -> 3'54

img258.imageshack.us/img258/9241/pcm0013.jpg
Some teams we haven`t seen very often doing pace like Lampre and FDJ are helping today and so Kreder`s chances are minimum.
But with Gavazzi and Seb. Chavanel they have two of the best sprinters here.

img229.imageshack.us/img229/1290/pcm0014a.jpg
As expected they catch Kreder 17km in front of the finish. Nevertheless it was a good ride by him today.
We still expect a performance gain by him as he has the talent but couldn`t really develop last year and so he also had less results.

img833.imageshack.us/img833/1864/pcm0015.jpg
The trains are forming. As Fischer has no support in sprints he got himself a good wheel.
Behind the Saxobank train with O`Grady and Duque and the Liquigas rider Sabatini he is almost in a perfect position.

img257.imageshack.us/img257/3420/pcm0016.jpg
Well. The train was great as Sabatini wins and Duque is 2nd but Fischer couldn`t overtake them and so he is a very good 6th for him.
After 3 victories last year in Pais Vasco, Poland and Sparkassen Giro he is still waiting for his first in 2011.

img823.imageshack.us/img823/2443/podiumb.jpg
Tony Martin wins his 2nd stage race in 2011 because of his prologue.
Kessiakoff and Lowe could defend their positions like all top 20 riders.
And I am glad to get rid of this race Grin

The Critérium International is a two day bicycle stage race held in France every spring, first run in 1932. Most wins with 5 each have Emile Idée (FRA), Raymond Poulidor (FRA) and Jens Voigt (GER).
On day 1 a hard mountainstage will define the favourites.
Day 2 begins with a 70km flat stage and ends with a short 7km ITT.


Result in 2010:

9Fredrik KessiakoffGarmin - Transitions
10Sebastian JolySaur - Sojasun

P: Denis Menchov Rabobank
KoM: Adam Hansen Team HTC-Columbia
U25: Andy Schleck Team Saxobank

Menchov, Hesjedal and Schleck fighted for the seconds in this edition and in the end the strength in the timetrial was most important.
With Martin and Kessiakoff we had 2 more riders in the top 10, so it was a very successful race for us.

Hesjedal will be our leader. Martin and Danielson are also able to get a nice result.
As it is the first race for Martin in 2011 concentrating on the Giro this year he don`t have the form of the last year and can`t probably repeat his 4th.

Favourites

*** Contador
** Gesink, Hesjedal
* Evans, Vinokourov, Uran

In most races Contador is participating he is normally the top favourite. Same here. With Gesink and Hesjedal 2 great climbers will look for their chance but in the timetrial they will have disadvantages against the Spaniard.
Evans, Vinokourov and Uran and some others will also have chances for a good result.
Riders with chances of smaller teams could be: Hivert (Saur), Voeckler (Bbox), Moinard and Pauriol (both Cofidis).
Because of the missing of many GC riders there are also chances for Danielson and Martin even in average shape for good results.
