Here we are the first race day of the year at the start of the stage.
4 riders broke away and no were our, time to chase!
Chainel of FDJ took the first and second intermidiate sprints and full KOTM points.
But with 20 killometers left they were bound to be realled in and I couldn't wait to lead Blythe out.
Vantomme of Katusha was the first to launch the sprint.
but we get blocked so gets the easy win

I have been asked to go into a break and if not we will work for Blythe if he feels great and if not Pinotti. Today

I was able to get into the break with 2 other riders under the 35 degree weather
I did not try to get the KOTM points or any other points for that matter.
But with 27 killometers left the group was all back togeather and I was dying.
It was going to be a mass sprint though.
and Rabon would take it.

The BOTD was composed of 6 riders Cummings being one of them.
The Break was being controlled by the peleton though. And they were reeled in with 30 killometers left. Right before the KOTM checkpoint Cummings and Roberts attacked
We made a great train but Roe crashed which ruined every thing leaving us weith a terrible result
and Kristoff took the victory

Today every one will work for me to keep my top 10 in the GC, Pinotti will go for the stage win.

In the break today was Cummings, he was going for the KOTM jersey.
Mean while, I was staying warm in the peleton.
A lapre rider would bridge the gap to the escape group.
However, with 50 killometers, the BOTD was reeled in and soon after a four riders attacked but were reeled in.
With 4.2 killometers left Laarson and Peitropoli attacked.
and Pietropolli takes it!!!
I would finish near the back of the pack hopefully I keep my top 10
THE STUPID JUDGES SAID I WAS DROPPED SO I LOST TIME!!!!!!!!!!! UGGHHHHH!!!!!!! WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Today,I will be alowed to take the wheel of a favorite for today's stage unless I am told other wise.
Favorites:
Blythe
Hondo

The BOTD included Roe, but the break was going to be controlled.
None of the intermidiate sprints of mountain sprints were disputed and everyone were back togeather with 6 killometers left.
Blythe and I did not pick the right train so we were left in the dust, but who won?
....
And Roelandts takes it!!!
The best part was Voigt celebrating even though his team didn't win.
