1st stage
We're finally off,first stage of first race in 2013 year starts,now all things that was written in media,all things on paper has to be shown!
It was short stage so we could expect attacks from start.
At the breakaway group,there are 4 riders. Huffman,Chaoufi,Kern and Rosseler. It seemed like great group to go 'till the end!
At the same time,in main group,Swiss and French champion was resting and chatting,preparing for finish today.
Fast ride from breakaway group resulted going up to 4 minutes gap at about 73kms to go! They was closing to the first and last mountain sprint today. When they finally came,Kern,the best climber from breakaway on paper attacked and took the glory!
After it,calm ride for about 10 kilometers,than,again,action! First sprint checkpoint this year gone in hands of Chaoufi. Tarik outsprinted them easily!
Riders are passing throught the finish first time today,checking all corners,free spaces where they can sprint or attack!
8kms passed,and they came to sprint checkpoint again,where Tarik blown them again!
Again,other 10kms passed calm,and they are just closing to the finish line.
Stopwatch measured 1'50" gap,it smelled like group sprint!
As i said,1'50" after that,in main group,SKY was setting up the pace.
3rd time today,3rd time in a row,Tarik Chaoufi takes intermediate sprint again!
Everything is prepared,Peloton almost caught E1,it's definitely now,winner of group sprint will wear orange jersey tommorow!
Our main sprinter,Nacer Bouhanni slightly goes at top of peleton,trying to find best place for himself.
Sprint already started,Bouhanni is on one of TOP5 places,but seems like he didnt get best place and he had to start too early,he is showing some weakness!
Aaaand Elia Viviani took win,what an awful start of season for Bouhanni!

fcancellara - Naaah,thats true but we can still get 3 more stage wins at sprint,and who knows,Fedrigo says that he is in great form,maybe he can win this!
sutty68 - Not really,he is the best sprinter on paper here,but it was hilly stage, and all of us knows that Nacer does not like hills and mountains,also his training is focused for and only for TdF,so this is somehow expected!

According to medias,Co-sponsor of FDJ, Europcar wants to take all glory for Tour de France,so they want win at home! Full interview of main guys from Europcar you can see down there.
"Yeah,while some of our riders are racing at Australia,other are already preparing for TdF riding some main mountain stages (Alpez d' Huez). We know we can get that,so we just want to take that TdF,it would be huge pleasure for our team,for our country. Its on team manager to choose who will be our first rider but we must win it,i repeat,MUST. Will it be Rolland or Pinot or maybe even Voeckler its on them.We're seriously thinking to i stop our partnership if team does not succeed in meeting expectations. But it's start of the season,we dont want to put pressure on anyone."

I knew the dual language wouldn't last! Nice try though.
And .png... a real problem if you are going to use that many screens per report.

TheManxMissile - It would last much longer if translate doesnt make that much mistakes. As i said , will use .jpg in future. Report in 5 minutes!

2nd stage
Hi guys,today i will report without screenshots because i took 20 of them and i tried uploading,20 minutes passed and nothing,from now i will upload it at .JPG
Our young rider,our huge hope,Johan Le Bon was in breakaway with Kreder and Marcato. At first sprint checkpoint Marcato won,Kreder was 2nd while Le Bon sprinted just not to lose position in group1. At 2nd one,same classification. Because of passive ride whole day,Le Bon attacked at 35 kms to go and E2 could not catch him. 15 kms to go,Peloton caught E2 , now Le Bon has 1" gap,can he take it? At 10 kms to go,Cannondale set train and caught him easily,at same moment where climb started (10km to go) Jerome Coppel attacked aaand he took glory ,he won mountain sprint and now he has same amount of points as Kern. Suddenly,he had 30" of gap,at downhill everybody was in panic and tried to catch that. At same moment,Bouhanni took great position right behind Viviani and Cannondales train. Coppel was in lead 'till 500meters to go. At the same time when Viviani passed Coppel,Bouhanni decided to go out of Vivianis wheel and won a stage in Cavendish style. What a great win and SHAME that i cant upload screenshots (i dont have time for them right now,maybe will tonight). Viviani is still leader with 2" in front of Bouhanni. Tommorow hilly stage,great chance for Fedrigo!

3rd stage
_____________________________________________________________
At the start,luckily enough,our fighter for KoM jersey, Jerome Coppel was in top10 riders,so it was pretty easy for him to attack and fight for that jersey.
Saxo Tinkoff gave their all to catch him but he did what he came for today,he took 16 points from this mountain sprint and he was so happy!
Our team tried to stay focused to keep that jersey,which was very hard. We got on mind all the time that Bouhanni doesnt have some great climbing abilities,so we gone for Fedrigo as our leader for today.
At the front,in first group there was 3 riders at the start. One of them was main sprinter of OPQS for this race,Andrew Fenn.
Pretty calm ride from both,breakaway in peloton,keeping gap at 2'50" all the time,untill this moment:
Gap started to decrease slightly,our team was at front!
Nothing happened in next 15kms,FDJ brought the lead to 15", now , riders was more and more sure that this is going to end in massive sprint.
7kms to go,in same moment when last breakaway rider is caught,Fedrigo saw that he does not have anything to wait for and attacked,can he get it?
Fedrigo has 24" of advantage,seems like he messed up peloton plans to finish this stage in mass sprint!
Thats it,Fedrigo kept 20" of lead and he won this. What a great start of season for our team.
"Without team and team-work,no doubtely this wouldnt finish like this" said Pierrick after the race!
