Vuelta a la Region de Murcia - Stage 3
Christophe is a great TTer, so we expect a top-5 on the stage. He may be able to jump to second place with a good ride. As for me, TTing is my favourite discipline, but I am still learning. Today I aim for a top-50.
Our first rider off today was David Veilleux . A great time-trialler, but still not in great form. He finishes in 36th place.
I was our next rider off the blocks. It felt good to ride against the clock, but my time wasn't that great. My final place was 41st, +3 seconds on David.
Today's favourite was Gustavo César Veloso was now out on the course. He doesn't dissapoint, finishing the 12 kilometre course in 16'34". Only a few riders left now..
Christophe Kern , the French TT champ, was the third last rider off. He rides really well, but is still 7" off Veloso and has now secured his podium spot.
The yellow jersey was out on the road, but it was no victory lap. He needed to hold off 2nd and 3rd places, and does well. A great overall win for the Andalucia rider.

And that's the end of the race. A great ride today by Christophe, as well as David. I did alright, and fourth best for our team overall is pretty good I think. It feels good to finsih my first stage-race, and with my improved fitness, my next races will be fun.
My next race is the Cholet - Pays de Loire back in France. I'll see you there.

The up-and-down profile looks to suit a puncheur, but we hope the pack will stick together and allow our Sebastie Chavanel to sprint for a good placing. I'll ride today once again to improve my fitness and of course to help out Sebastien as much as possible.

An early attack in the stage came from Christophe Riblon, so we sent Damien Gaudin out to counter. He bridged the gap, and brought the Frenchman back into the group.
The break of the day formed soon, with 12 riders out in front. Their major gap was 6'45", but it would be brought back with around 30 kms remaining.
On the last group of hills, a small group led by Carlos Barredo attacked and got a small gap. We immediately sent David Veilleux to chase them back. he did magnificently, bailing out the shocked WT teams by bringing the group back together again. A sprint was now inevitable.
And the sprint began. A sea of Europcar riders led by Chavanel was at the fore of the peloton. Mondory and El Fares looked in great position.
And Mondory is the fastest! Bobbie Traskel comes second, with Chavanel rounding out the podium. I sprint well to 19th place.

By far my best result so far, 19th is awesome! My form is steadily improving, and with my new schedule (stay tuned for that) I should have some great rides over the next few races. As for Sebastien, no win, but another podium result for the team is great.
See you soon with my latest blog update,
Hugo

Hello readers!
Hugo here, writing from my house in Chartres, just outside Paris, where I live with David V and Bjorn Thurau. Me and David are here now, while Bjorn is training in Holland. I am currently doing some recovery after yesterday's race in Cholet.
Anyway, I have some great news! All my races have been confirmed for the year, and I can now share with you my season schedule! It's really exciting to know where I'll be riding all year. Anyway, here is the first part:
01/04Route Adelie de Vitre 1 stage 10/04Paris - Camembert Lepetit 1 stage 14/04Tour du Finistere 1 stage 24/04 - 29/04Tour de Romandie 6 stages 12/05Scandinavian Race in Uppsala 1 stage 13/05 - 20/05Amgen Tour of California 8 stages
This is the first half of my 2012 schedule, and how exciting! Riding Romandie will be amazing in my first ever PT race, and then California, where I'm sure many Canadians will travel down to cheer me and David on! (Plus, I may even have a leader role at the Uppsala classic!) Here's the second half:
23/6Canadian Time-Trial Championships 1 stage 25/6Canadian Road-Race Championships 1 stage
As you can see, these two races are not at all in my peak form area. They are the national championships which I hold very dearly, but with my low fitness, my participation will be a race-day decision.
16/08Coppa Bernocchi 1 stage 17/08Coppa Agostoni 1 stage 22/08 - 27/08Post Danmark Rundt 6 stages 07/09Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec 1 stage 09/09Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal 1 stage 19/09World ITT Championships 1 stage 23/09World Championships 1 stage
This part is super-exciting. First the two Italian classics, then the prestigious Post Danmark Rundt stage-race, then the highlight, my two home races in Quebec and of course Montreal! My form will be excellent here, so as well as hopefully getting a good result, I may even earn a spot in the Canadian Worlds squad! Awesome, huh?
And of course, here is my fitness schedule. As you can see, my peaks are at the upcoming French classics, then the Tour of Cali, and finally the Canadian classics. All in all, my season is rather short, with only 36 race days, but that's what the DS thought was best.
I hope you are as excited for the season ahead as I am, and I also hope to see you in Vitre for my next race!
Sincerely,
Hugo

@Zoom Yeah if Hugo's form is good enough come the race I may be able to put him in the team. And even the road-race too which I have just added to the calendar.
@sutty Thanks a lot.
@Vien Yeah I'm happy with the race days though. And thanks for telling me about my mistake, it's fixed.

With this sqaud, Cyril is our leader. He might try an attack near the end, or hope the peloton is depleted enough to sprint. I am a pure domestique.

With today's break succeeding, Cyril had no chance. He ended up sprinting in the pack with Yukiya, who finished a few spot ahead. A disspointing day.
It was alright for me, but nothing special.
My next race is in about a week in Paris. See you there.

Veilleux not winning? You're right PCM realism goes down the gutter in simulation.

I know right? I think they should fix that in PCM 12 so that either David or Arashiro wins every stage.

Paris - Camembert Lepetit
Arashiro is today's leader, and he has a good chance today. With my good form, I will join Damien Gaudin in the free riders group. If a chance comes up, I may attack..

The break of the day formed moderately early, and they stuck in the front for quite a while. No notable riders..
With the breaks lead at over 6 minutes, and no one at all chasing, we took to the front to chase down the break. All our riders were in the relay except Gaudin who was getting bottles, and Arashiro who saved his energy..
And our chase was truly successful, with the breaks lead diminishing very fast. On one of the days steeper climbs, the break surrendered as I lead the peloton up.
And with the peloton shocked by the sudden slow pace, we stopped chasing and I set off alone downhill. Gaps started to form in the peloton, as Arashiro was dropped..
15kms left now, on one of the steepest sections of the day, and I was over the top soon enough, with a strong gap over the chasers! Maybe I could hold on!
Under the 5kms to go banner, I stil have a short lead! I am pushing super-hard to hold on but my legs are beggining to fail me..
Final kilometres, the gap is closing, I begin to sprint, the finish line is in sight! Could this be my first win?!
And now the followers have caught up, metres remaining!! Who would win?! Could it be me?!
NOOO! Traksel and Fedrigo overtake me with only metres remaining! Heartbreaking, but I still secure third spot, which is an awesome result!

@valverde Yeah I know, it was really frustrating. But I think this race makes up for it
@Pellizotti Thanks man. Tough stuff but this should make you feel better. And congrats on becoming admin
14th April, 2012
Today is tough to read with a hilly profile to begin with, but pretty flat in the end. Either Arashiro, Chavanel, Kern or Charteau could be our leader today. I will again play the free-rider role, maybe trying to join an early break.

As promised, I followed the early attacks in a bid to join the BOTD. We got a decent gap pretty soon.
And I got pretty lucky as we kept away from the unaffected peloton. I was just relaxing in the back, but out gap wasn't very big at all.
Over most of the big hills, with only 35kms left, our lead was around 2 minutes, from it's maximum of about 7. I began leading the group to keep up the high pace and stay away from the chasing peloton.
30kms later, I dropped my breakaway compatriots, who had all been gobbled up by the chase. I still had about 1 minute over the peloton with 5kms left, and with the favourites attacking and chasing, I was comfortably riding to the line!
And the final 2kms, I begin my sprint, still all alone! A chasing Vichot is closing, but is he too far away?!
YES!! He is! I take it all the way to the line, and win! What an amazing race!

Wow! Amazing day! I'd never think my first win would come so early, but after my last race, I should have taken the hint! Absolutlely awesome feeling right now.
A short break for me before Romandie. I'll write you a blog post when I'm in Lugano for stage 1. See you there!
