Garmin - 4th season Giro d`Italia
roturn
Thanks both of you.
Last two stages were running very nice for me. And I also like the desert screens in Oman, looking much better than in PCM10.

Here the next stage. Luckily the ITT seems to be much more realistic than in PCM10.


Tour of Oman - Stage 5
Al Jissah - Al Jissah

With 19km it`s clearly not the longest time trial but therefore it`s pretty mountainous. Last year Dan Martin won his 2nd stage of the Oman Tour here as pure climber. Big favourites for today are Wiggins and Larsson but also the two Garmin riders Boom and Bobridge as also Swedish ITT World Champion Lövkvist.

We directly jump to the Dutch champion and former World Champion Lars Boom. So far Bobrdige had a podium spot but the Dutch is beating all times and takes the provisional lead.
29'13

Another National Champion in Gustav Larsson. He lost some time on the mountain stage but therefore he was obviously aiming todays stage. He beats Boom`s time by several seconds. Probably that`s his advantage due to the better climbing skills.
28'47

Also Wiggins already lost some time yesterday. He is surely focussing the GT podiums this season. More than one minute back, obviously just here to prepare for his season.
29'57

Hesjedal had quite a bit of time ahead of the next and Di Gregorio isn`t known as big time trialist. So the 13th today is definitely enough to stay in the lead.

Biggest jump today made Gutierrez, who finished as 3rd behind Boom and is new 2nd in the overall today. Ciolek had no chance on this terrain and felt back on the 10th but with good chances to improve a bit with the bonus seconds in tomorrow`s sprint.
Also with Astana struggling today, Garmin is new leader in the team rankings. A pretty good day for us today, even without stage win.

Thanks for the comments.
I really like the more realism in this TT to avoid crazy results like in the year before.
Here the final stage and let`s see if you are right. Wink


Tour of Oman - Stage 6
Qurayyat - Mattrah Seafront
i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/Oman-6-1.jpg
Last stage of this years Tour of Oman. Most likely it will end in a sprint on the final circuit, but looking at the weather, you see lots of dark clouds and heavy rain all over the day. So some teams might take care for their leaders a lot and a breakaway have a chance to win this one.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/Oman-6-2.jpg
On the first 30km lots of attacks. Also Bobridge and Butler tried to jump into some groups but in the end no Garmin rider found the successful one.
Again Acqua & Sapone is the most active team with 2 riders, while Ricci Bitti definitely deserves the most active rider award.
None of them is really dangerous for the overall with the best having more than 5min to Hesjedal.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/Oman-6-3.jpg
Skil and Garmin are sharing the work and everything is looking pretty good for them. The advance never crosses the 5min mark and Skil really wants another sprint finish here.

The mentioned Ricci Bitti was also the last one being caught after attacking with 15km to go out of the break.
Skil is forming their train for Ciolek, while the other sprinters are trying to get his wheel.

But with 5km a dangerous situation for the sprinter teams.
M.Wyss, Hoste and N.Sørensen attack very strong and fastly create a gap.
That destroys the sprint trains and now it`s just Boom and Stetina trying to close the gap with Goss having Stetina`s wheel. Definitely not the best position especially with Bennati directly behind him. At least Ciolek seems to be far behind as the Skil train does not longer exist.

Only Kittel is trying to sprint on the right side.

With Kittel and Goss pulling Bennati, he had an easy job to sprint to his first win here. Bole takes the 2nd ahead of Ciolek, who had a good speed in the end but a bad positioning. Goss, who was far too early in the wind obviously must be happy with the 10th, more wasn`t possible in this crazy sprint.
Wyss, who looked for the sure winner here was caught on the last meters and finishes as 4th.
But most important for us. Ryder Hesjedal finished without any problems in the peloton and takes a big win. This will give him a good motivation to try again in the next races.

Congrats to the nice win with Hesjedal!

Thanks cunego59.

Due to 3 races on one day I decided to finish Oman first, then the 2 day race Tour du Haut Var, which I already played before starting the Algarve/Andalucia? Not sure which one exactly. Wink
So here first the Haut Var presentation, report might follow later today or maybe one tomorrow.

One of the earliest races in France every season is leading through the region "Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur".
It`s held since 1969 and was a one day race up to 2008 when they added a second stage. Record champion with 3 victories is the Dutch rider Joop Zoetemelk.

After a nice result in 2011, we didn`t participated in the last version. But Nicolas Roche, 5th last year comes back in our team jersey to start the season.


Garmin squad 2013
i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/team.jpg
A pretty strong squad from us with 3-4 potential top5 candidates. Biggest name for sure Nicolas Roche, who is our last rider to start his season. But he won`t lead us as he is not really in form. Team leaders will be Johan Vansummeren and Fabio Felline. Also Michel Kreder is looking for a good result. In Van der Velde, Barton, Peterson and Duggan, they will have great support.

Favourites

***** Kreuziger
**** Vaugrenard, Pauriol
*** De Waele, Vansummeren
** Brajkovic, Hermans, Van den Broeck, Voeckler
* Felline, Dumoulin, Mondory, Coppel, Impey

It might again come to the battle between De Waele, Kreuziger and Vansummeren as in the Tour de Mediterraneen. But actually the profiles look too easy for solo wins.
So next to them also the French Vaugrenard, Pauriol or Voeckler are looking for a good result.
But also the sprinters with a good uphill punch have chances here. First to mention are the two French sprinters Dumoulin and Mondory but also South African Impey.

Nice to see Roche for the first time in your jersey, he will try some breakaway possibly? Good luck in France and great win with Hesjedal in Oman Smile
I'll be back

Just came home and caught up with the reports I missed.

Great racing in Oman. Always nice to see a Garmin rider celebrating. Wink Hesjedal was impressive on the queen stage as well. Well done defending the overall title.

Also, brilliant screenshots. Here's my favourites:

Thanks.

@Avin: I don`t really plan to go into early breaks in these 2 stages. Also he is set as one of the favourites for both stages and so the chance is pretty low.
@Pellizotti: I also like these screens. But I think it`s looking much better with the desert than same angle with another background as it is less common. But still I should try to make more of these kind of screens.


Tour du Haut Var - Stage 1
La Croix Valmer - Grimaud
i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-1-1.jpg
The first of the two stages is surely the easier one with some hills and many flat parts. Biggest difficulty is the lightly uphill finish. Normally a stage that might suit Fabio Felline, so he will be one of our riders today.
But it`s more to expect that some sprinter will grab this first one.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-1-3.jpg
14 riders in the break. Probably they hope to surprise the favourites here as both stages aren`t too hard.
Van Dijk (Veranda's), Blot (Bretagne), Barbé (Landbouwkrediet), Lequatre (Shack), Thiré (Big Mat), Mangel (Saur), Haddou (Europcar), Reimer (Skil) to name some of them.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-1-4.jpg
Together with FDJ, Garmin is taking care for the peloton that the group isn`t allowed to create a big gap. It`s Duggan, who is doing most work. His focus is normally more on the really hard mountain races.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-1-5.jpg
Here we are again. FDJ, Landbouwkredit and Garmin are increasing a lot. The same teams for the same riders than in the Tour de Mediterraneen.
Kreuziger, Vansummeren and De Waele all proved a good form and are again looking for good bets.
The gap is almost down now and soon the breakaway is over.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-1-6.jpg
Meanwhile Ben Hermans got a puncture andis behind the peloton now. So one card less for Team RadioShack, who have still a solid rider in Brajkovic here, but a big question mark about his form.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-1-7.jpg
With 10km to go the break is over and it`s Team NetApp now with several riders at the front to bring their sprinter Impey in a good position.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-1-8.jpg
And indeed he was the strongest on the uphill section. Ista and Wilkinson complete the podium and grab important bonus seconds.
Our leaders were well placed but had no real chance to challenge the fastest today, so they have to try again tomorrow on the harder stage.

Do you favour Canadian riders? Never noticed it...

Tuco the Ugly
Great racing, reporting, and most of all, pictures from Oman. Perfect parcours for Hesjedal and a good warm-up for the WT races in March.

Of course Pfft

Thanks all.
I am also a "small" Hesjedal fan. Wink So I was happy when he could take this win. Maybe time for a big PT win with him this season.
@Tuco: Nice to see you around here again.
Unfortunately he won`t race the March PT races. He has a first break until Criterium International. First big races for him are the Ardennes then.
Sanchez/Vansummeren for Paris-Nice and Fuglsang/Martin for Tirreno.


Tour du Haut Var - Stage 2
Draguignan - Draguignan
i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-2-1.jpg
Surely the harder stage of both, but still not that hard to get rid of all riders probably. Highlights for sure the two 20+% climbs with the Mur de Montauroux, which is ridden twice and the similar hard Mur de Fayence. These are the climbs to set an attack.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-2-2.jpg
7 riders in the BotD. Kluge (Skil), Bideau (Bretagne), Vangenechten (Wallonie), Gaudin (Europcar), Oliphant (Endura), Skujins (La Pomme) and Cabello (Andalucia).

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-2-3.jpg
Garmin is taking care for a high speed on all the hard climbs directly from the beginning. The first riders already fall back and might have problems to finish inside the time limit.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-2-4.jpg
Duggan and Barton are also doing a very high pace on the 2nd pass over the Mur de Montauroux. Slopes up to 25% on 400m.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-2-6.jpg
The group is already smaller and on the last climb of the day the BotD is caught and Nicolas Roche and Michel Kreder are doing an brilliant job to get rid of the last riders. Unfortunately the yellow jersey of Daryl Impey is still in this group. He really seems to be peaking at the moment.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-2-7.jpg
On top of the climb it`s still Roche doing an heavy pace. Just 21 riders left in this group but no attacks. Vansummeren and Felline haven`t been able here and also Impey is still in here.
Even worse that on the decent the next group came back and ~40 riders will sprint for the win now.

i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g434/Roturn1988/PCM11_Feb/HautVar-2-8.jpg
French rider Jerome Pineau was the fastest in the sprint and takes the win ahead of his country men Rolland and Vaugreanard. Felline as 6th and Vansummeren as 11th will improve a bit in the overall where Vansummeren is 9th now and at least entered the top 10 in an easier than expected race.
South African Impey takes a big win for himself and also for the German NetApp team.

tsmoha
Not a highlight-race for Garmin, but Felline as 6th today and Vansummeren as 9th overall is quite okay!
 
roturn
Thanks tsmoha. Totally true. I expected a bit more with such a team, but in the end not hard enough.

The Vuelta a Andalucia or Ruta del Sol is a Spanish 5 day stage race in Andalucia. Since 2005 the race belongs to the UCI Europe and is categorized as 2.1. The nickname, Ruta del Sol, is in reference to the region's popular tourist coastline the Costa del Sol.
It was first held in 1925 with Ricardo Montero (ESP) as winner. With 2 wins each Freddy Maertens (BEL), Dietrich Thurau (GER), Rolf Gölz (GER) and Stefano Della Santa (ITA) hold the record.

As pretty often in the first races last season LL Sanchez had to take the 2nd. But with two riders in the top 5 it was surely a success.
In general it was a first sign of an incredibly strong Astana squad with 4 in the top 10 and even without their other strong riders like Contador or Knees.

Sanchez and Kessiakoff are back in Andalucia to give it another try. Maaskant and Löw might be their biggest support in the harder stages, while Farrar is our hope for the flat stages. In Baris Dao he will have a great lead-out man. Phinney and Rowe will complete the roster.

Favourites

***** LL Sanchez
**** Porte, Anton
*** Evans, Txurruka, Kiryienka
** Kessiakoff, Intxausti, Gautier, Plaza
* Kruijswijk, Martínez, Cabreira, Berdos, López

Except of ~10 riders, the start list is pretty weak. Garmin, Saxobank, Euskaltel and Movistar with surely the strongest teams here, while several teams just send an uncompleted squad here.
Also Farrar is for sure the big favourite in the sprints.
