Les Boucles Du Sud Ardèche
It’s time for Joker Bianchi’s first race this season. The race is 157 kilometres long. The profile of this race is quite flat, so the sprinters are the favourites.
Joker Bianchi sent following riders to the race:
Alexander Kristoff – Sprinter
Lars Petter Nordhaug – Free role
Ingar Stokstad – Team mate
Stian Sommerseth – Team mate
Ole Haavardsholm – Team mate
Joachim Boler – Team mate
Fabio Duarte – Team mate
Frederik Wilmann – Team mate
When the race started, seven riders went in a breakaway. None were one of the favourites, and the pack let them go.
The breakaway
With fifteen kilometres to go, the breakaway was about one minute in front of the pack. There was an ascent thirteen kilometres to go, and Nordhaug tried to break away – with no luck. He went back to the pack in a few kilometres.
Nordhaug tried to break away
The breakaway was 50 metres in front of the pack when the sprint started.
Kristoff had an excellent position when the sprint started…
But there were three riders that were stronger…
Robert Radosz won.
It was a big surpise that Kristoff came on fourth with his bad form! He beat famous riders as Uros Murn and Jimmy Casper.

Stage 1
The stage was a tough stage for my riders. The ascent looked too hard for all of my riders, but I hoped to finish in the peloton with at least one rider.
Today’s Breakaway
Many of my riders behind the pack. At least Duarte, Kristoff and Nordhaug were in the pack, but they were tired.
The breakaway was caught with 15 kilometres to go.
Kristoff tried to sprint, but with no luck. He could see that Herrero won.

Stage 2
Because a bug appeared, the second stage is exactly the same as the first. All the riders are tired for yesterday’s hard work, so my goal today is to come to the finish in the peloton with at least Duarte.
The breakaway
Again, many of my riders fell off at the ascent, now Kristoff and Nordhaug too. Duarte sits in the middle of the peloton, and it seems like he will be there to the finish.
Herrero wins his second stage win

Stage 3 – The first really hard stage
Today’s stage is really hard, but I hope that Duarte will hold the peloton to the line. The favourites in this stage are Luis Leon Sanchèz, Franco Pellizotti and José Ivan Gutièrrez.
The peloton had a high pace when the ascents startet, and many of my riders fell off.
Kristoff fell early off the peloton
In the last of the hills sections midways in the race, Duarte fell off. He came in a group with a lot of Cofidis riders, also the third place Leonardo Duque, and in the last hill, the two groups were together. At this time, Gutièrrez and Pellizotti attacked. No one managed to counter-attack, and they got a good lead.
Breakaway!
Pellizotti and Gutièrrez got a good lead. Could the duo come first?
Gutièrrez wins I front of Pellizotti
Duarte was really tired, but he managed to finish with the same time as the peloton while sprinting to the line.

Stage 4
This stage was also a hard stage. The favourites were the sprinters that were best in hills, so Kristoff was none of them.
The breakaway included Sylvester Szmyd, so the peloton had a fast pace in the beginning.
Sylvester Szmyd in the breakaway
My riders were very tired because of the fast pace, so when Caisse d’Epargne started to hook up the breakaway, many riders were gone.
Kristoff fell off early
Herrero wins his third stage in this race, and his green jersey is assured.
Duarte fell off the peloton, and he nearly managed to get back in the peloton. Nearly.

Stage 5 – the last stage
This stage was flat, and fitted Alexander Kristoff good.
The break, with no good riders, went away after two kilometres.
The breakaway
The breakaway was caught with about 30 kilometres to go.
There were three sprint trains in today’s last kilometres, but the third was bad, and 10-20 metres behind the front of the first train.
Kristoff is in a good position when there are few kilometres to the finish line
With a few hundred meters to go, Kristoff is on a second spot
It looks like Florencio shall win, but then Ventoso accelerates, and wins with a bike length.

February done, March and the big races in sight
February is done with good results for Kristoff in Les Boucles Du Sud Ardèche and Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.
Monthly awards for February
This month, Joker Bianchi will race a very important race for the sponsor – Tour de Normandie. The sponsor confidence is “poor” for the moment, so the riders are training hard to get very good form in this race.
The other races that will be run are Trofej Poreca and Istarsko Proljece.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Comments? I would like that, or my motivation will stop...

Trofej Poreca
This race was very flat, and I hoped to get a good place with Kristoff.
I sent the following riders to Trofej Poreca:
Nordhaug – free role – attack at the end of the race?
Kristoff – main sprinter
Sommerseth
Vold
Bohler
Wilmann
Stokstad
Gunnerud
When the race started, a three-man-break went away. The riders were that bad that the peloton didn’t need to set a fast pace for getting a sprint finish, but CCC-Polsat wanted to be sure, so they did anyway. The breakaway was caught when there was 40 kilometres to go.
At 15 kilometres to the finishing-line, Nordhaug tried an attack. Stanislav Kozúbek counter-attacked, and he seemed to be much stronger than Nordhaug. The peloton didn’t like the attempts, so the sprint teams paced to a very fast speed.
Nordhaug and Kozúbek attacks
The PSK Whirlpool rider seemed much stronger than Nordhaug
When the sprint started, he had about 200 metres to the peloton
Kozúbek is a good sprinter, and he managed to win! Nordhaug came on second, that’s the team’s best place this season.
Kristoff, who's getting better form, lost the photo finish, and came on sixth place.
