Yeah but you know, to see the names from the screens I need to click on them and they don't load very fast when my internet speed hits a low point.

Stage 5.
With 2 KOM sprints on the last kms,if peloton makes strong pace it can make some "destruction" on it,if there are attacks maybe can lead to a win,lets see what happens.
Today was the day for our australian rider Walker to have a go and the first int.sprint of the day he manages the 1st place,followed by Isasi(EUS) and Kireyev(AST).
At the 2nd int.sprint is Kristoff(BMC) in 1st,then Mandri(ALM) and Walker(FOT).
We reach the top of the 1st KOM sprint and Muravyev(SHAK) comes 1st with an attack....
...and behind him,Bobridge(GAR) is 2nd and Mandri(ALM) 3rd.
Peloton was starting the climb with Rabobank riders pushing hard.
Downhill,some crashes and the most known rider is Pozzato,Riblon crashes too.
From E1 only 3 riders manage to pass first at 2nd KOM sprint,Maté(AND) is 1st,Oss(LIQ) 2nd and Masciarelli(ASA) 3rd.
The top brings an attack from Devolder(QST)...
Our leader BenÃtez follows..
Devolder manages a small gap downhill but BenÃtez is catched by peloton.
Sprint starts with Devolder still in front.....
Cardoso well placed behind Freire.....
...and Cardoso makes the move...
...but Freire is too strong and goes in front..
...to win is 3rd stage,Cardoso is 2nd and Bennati(LIQ) is 3rd..
Stage standing.
GC standing.
Points standing.
KOM standing.
Young standing.
Team standing.
Cardoso is back!!! |

Stage 6.
Last stage of the Tour of Australia,my wish is to finish with a win,let´s see if it is possible.
The only E1G builded was quickly catched by peloton,Rabobank and Liquigas made mostly all work..
..until the end,peloton rolled with fast pace and so the sprint starts...
..with Cardoso in good position,Freire and Bennati from outside...
..win is not possible,can Cardoso get the 3rd place?
Yes he can,Cardoso takes 3rd place ahead of Bennati(LIQ) and Freire(RAB)
Stage standing.
GC standing.
Points standing.
KOM standing.
Young standing.
Team standing.
Well,our first race of the year is done,Australia was great,we had a very positive start and hope it continues.I would had won instead but was not possible,Cardoso was great,our leader BenÃtez done all possible to make the best result and achieve a final 7th place,with so many great sprinters it´s a great result for him.Unfortunally with that flat tyre,Cardoso lost his chances to finish in a better position,he deserved that. |

You know its easier to win the sprint/points jersey if you send an good strong sprinter in a breakaway every day to take all the int.sprint instead of the final sprint. Then you get 12 points instead of the 8 you get at the finish line. |

Yes i know but i don´t want to send always the same guy every stage,i personnally don´t like to play like that.Even for the KOM i try to avoid that,like i don´t like to attack on downhill,only when others attack,wich can happen.

Here we are for our 2nd race this month wich will be the last one too in January.This is the team that will compete in Italy,i hope it goes well for us.
1st stage:
Sorry,but have no screen from 1st int.sprint.
3 riders attacked on the begining of the stage,they are,Bakelants(OLO),Steensen(SAX) and Ovechkin(AST),this was the order too wich they passed 1st int.sprint.
Only Kom sprint on this stage,Ovechkin(AST) is 1st,Steensen(SAX)2nd and Bakelants(OLO) 3rd..
..back at the peloton,the team Androni Giocattoli takes the front of peloton and stays there until the end,always controlling the gap.
We reach the 2nd int.sprint of the day with Bakelants(OLO) in 1st,followed by Ovechkin(AST) in 2nd and Steensen(SAX) taking the 3rd place...
The peloton was with a quicker pace now and that caused a fall from some riders,one of them was Velits(THR),he is out from GC.
The 3 amigos in E1 manage to reach the 3rd and last int.sprint of the day,with Bakelants(OLO) again in 1st,Steensen(SAX) takes 2nd and Ovechkin(AST) is 3rd....
...meanwhile at the peloton,CarmioDoro and Cofidis joins Androni at the front and E1 will be catched with 25 kms to finish...
..this 25 kms go quick and the final sprint is started,with Duque(COF) coming very quick from the right,Pedersen(FOT) isn´t well posicioned..
..and Duque(COF) wins,with Roelandts(OLO) in 2nd and Gasparotto(AST) stays with the 3rd place...
..while Pedersen(FOT) finishes in 9th position.
Stage standing and GC.
KOM standing.
Points standing.
Young standing.
Team standing.

Stage 2.
Yesterday we were too passiv,today i decided to give green light to our young rider Corti,4 riders attacked and Corti went with them.First int.sprint is Wrolich(MIL) who takes the 6 pts bonus,Veuchelen(VAC) is 2nd and Corti(FOT)3rd.
Peloton takes a calm ride and when they pass over the 1st sprint,the gap is already over 6min..
2nd int.sprint,Wrolich(MIL)again 1st,Corti gets 2nd and Malori(LAM)3rd...
..and peloton shows no worry with the boys in front,they have over 8min. gap.
Finally Corti manages to pass 1st on the last int.sprint,Malori(LAM) is 2nd,Wrolich(MIL)3rd.
With the feeling that E1 is getting dangerous,peloton start to ride with fast pace....
..and most of the work is made by race leader team,Cofidis..
..always nice to watch..
E1 manages to get the top of the 1st KOM sprint with a small gap and behind them....
...Voeckler(BBOX) attacks...
Hoogerland(VAC) and Acosta(GCE) go after him...
They build small gap to the peloton..
E1 downhill..
E2 downhill..
Peloton downhill..
Voeckler group is very fast.....
..and joins the E1,team Vacansoil with 2 riders in front,maybe a team tactic..
..but even that can hold Voeckler to get away,only Niermann(RAB) can respond...
..Cofidis gets a prescious help from Androni team...
..and Corti&Co don´t have a chance...
..just like Voeckler get caught before last hill.
Uphill,one team,one man,Scarponi makes a lot of damage on the peloton..
..and almost on top,Leukemans strikes and take 6pts,L.L.Sánchez(GCE) takes 4pts and Bertolini(AND) 2pts.
Footon has 3 riders that survived this punishment...race leader too..
Downhill makes a group in front,main contenders are in..
5kms,Pedersen is behind Duque,Duque on Carrera´s wheel...
Sprint gets started,Pedersen still there...
.. L.L.Sánchez comes very fast from the left...
..but Sánchez looses power..
...Carrara,Duque and Pedersen get away from the rest...
Pedersen can´t get out from behind...
..and Duque wins his 2nd stage in a row,Carrara is 2nd and Pedersen 3rd.
L.L.Sánchez gets a great 4th place.

Stage 3.
The hardest stage of Calabria,Footon hopes to hang on with peloton on the final part of the race,it´s going to be a hard one...
First part of the stage has one breakaway with 16 riders and at 1st int.sprint Masciarelli(ASA) is 1st,Beuret(CAR)is 2nd and Petrov(KAT) 3rd.
We reach the hill and E1 gets caught..
..only 1 rider stays in front,Arroyo(GCE)...
..we want some points too,so our young rider Brändle attacks..
..and makes small gap to peloton but can´t join Arroyo...
...and so Arroyo gets 6pts...
Riblon(ALM),Siutsou(THR) and L.L.Sánchez(GCE) attack....
..Brändle is 2nd and Riblon 3rd,these riders will join peloton again...
..but before descent,3 riders attacked and go fast downhill,Voeckler(BBOX),Marcato(VAC) and Navarro(AST)..
..and they catch Brändle and Arroyo..
...having a gap with 2´30" to peloton with Cofidis in front controlling the pace..
Casar(FDJ) and Scarponi(AND) attack before 2nd int.sprint...
..and in front,Voeckler is 1st,Navarro 2nd and Marcato 3rd..
...and all these riders get caught by peloton at the first hill in 2nd half of the stage...
..and we reach the 20km banner,until the final 4kms nothing happen...
...time when Riblon(ALM),Pietropolli(LAM) attacks,our leader follows...
..Eibegger passes Pietropolli...
..and joins Riblon just in time to take his wheel for the sprint...
...Eibegger gets closer...
...and closer...
.....till he is wheel on wheel with Riblon...
...and Eibegger,our leader takes the win...
..and the fight for 3rd place is hot too,with Ginnani better as L.L.Sánchez.

Stage 4 and final.
First E1 is with 15 riders,Corti(FOT) is there too..
Int.sprint,no one wanted points,Corti takes 1st,Vanotti(LIQ) 2nd Ponzi(LAM) 3rd...
Back at peloton,Voeckler and Serpa attack...
Caisse goes to the front of peloton...
Time gaps at this point...
Voeckler and Serpa join the E1...
...and in peloton,Caisse leaves the front as hill comes and Cofidis must work alone..
Fédrigo,Carrara,Palumbo,Mazzanti,Sella and our Arrieta attack..
Duque attacked too and was on leading group...
Our team leader was in this group and i send the team to the front to push hard downhill...
..we manage to join the E1 just in time for final sprint,no time to find a good wheel...
.....Duque wins again,great form..
...Pedersen manages a good 7th place..
