Great race by Timothy, well done!
Arvid coming in one minute after Zoidl is okay I guess, especially since he is together with Pal. Hopefully they will have both opportunities to shine in the 2 remaining stages too, at least they have set themselves a bit apart in the sprint.

@All: Thanks! It was a very nice surprise for me
Stage 3

Weather
As expected, the weather is still fantastic.
Once again we have attacks from the start. Some fail, but the one of Ramirez, Hoelgaard, Holmes, Uchima, Parra and Buruczki is succesfull.
Uchima wins the first mountain sprint.
The lead increases over 4 minutes very quickly. This goes on for quite a while. At the intermediate sprint, Uchima once again wins.
The pack now starts increasing the pace. LA-Antarte and Tirol do the most work for their leaders.
The lead keeps on decreasing, but the break is allowed to continue until mountain sprint 2 as well. Ramírez wins the sprint there.
The lead with 20kms to go is 1min13. The break isn't likely to have a chance of making it. This causes some chaos in the break. With 5kms to go, single leader Holmes still has 1min08 lead though.
With 2.5kms to go, Holmes still has a gap. It has decreased a lot thanks to us and Tirol.
With 1km to go Holmes still leads, but Peter is coming extremely close!
With 500 meters to go, Peter has caught Holmes! Will he make it?
At the finish
Peter stays ahead of everyone to take victory! What a brilliant day for the team, and the 3rd victory of the season already!

@All: Thanks a lot. The team worked for him very well!
Probably no update today, as I woke up ill this morning. I suppose it will be over tomorrow or in the weekend, but if I haven't posted by then, you know what's going on.

For some reason my body decided to heal me, so stage 4 is here
Stage 4

Weather
It continues being nice. The conditions are excellent for cycling today.
We have some attacks right from the start, but initially a clear break isn't formed yet. We do eventually get a break of 8 riders though, none of them serious contenders.
Afterwards the pace drops. No real battle at sprint 1 occurs. Nothing actually happens at all in the race it seems.
The pack doesn't let the lead grow too big, it never even reaches the 5 minutes. With 100kms to go, the lead is just over 4 minutes. With 2 laps (55kms) to go the lead is 2min20.
This means chaos in the break. With 30kms to go, the first serious attacks start. It almost seems desperate and it doesn't really help. With 20kms to go the lead is just 49s.
It's not over yet though. With 10kms to go the lead is 37s.
With 2.5kms to go the sprint in the break starts. The pack is coming seriously close though.
Under the banner Mestre has ditched his lead-out and seems to go for a good result. Other sprinters are approaching as well.
On the final flat there's still no clear winner.
At the line
Britton surprises all sprinters! Teammate Blain makes it a 1-2 for Raleigh, while Rossi, Hammarling and Mestre complete the top-5. Zoidl never lost control of his lead today.

Decent last day here for the team and a good ending for a successful Istrian Trophy.
Did Björn Arvid get any points by being 14th overall (eg CQ Ranking)?.

@sutty: Yes it was a nice stage!
@mvhoogdalem: Good? Great if you'd ask me!
@Shonak: Unfortunately not
Settimana Coppi e Bartali
The stages
The first stage is short and flat. A mass sprint seems inevitable.
A TTT here. It's short, so the differences shouldn't be too big here.
The first stage that's important for the GC. The tough hills should provide some spectacle.
The mountain stage. A good climber will make the race his here.
The decisive stage. A 14.5km time trial should provide the final differences here.
Although the race is rated hilly, it shouldn't bring differences for the GC riders here.
Our squad
Peter de Groote will serve as domestique, but will be important in the TTT and hopefully do well in the ITT as well.
Jonas Ek will be a domestique here. Perhaps he will go in a break in one of the stages.
Johnnie Flodder will sprint here. He has a good shot for stage one, but might also do well in the final stage.
Joep Gouda has aimed on the mountain stage here. He should be able to get a decent result there.
Heiko Kalichmann is peaking for this race. He will aim on the hillier stages and hopefully bring a good result there.
Khieu Tet Khamphan might aim on the mountains jersey, but our fear is the field is too strong. He could also serve as domestique.
Peter Pal is feeling very good after his good result in Croatia. Hopefully he can continue in that shape.
Timothy Raue also did very well in Croatia. He will become a domestique here, unless if he goes into a break.
The startlist
The favorites
***** | Joaquím Rodríguez | **** | Tejay van Garderen | *** | Damiano Cunego | ** | John Darwin Atapuma | * | Johan Tschopp |
My prediction
With such an extremely strong field a stage top-10 would be very nice. Our race will probably consist of attacks in this field.

Well that was a great race in Croatia, nice win with the gap.
When I saw the route for Coppi a Bartali I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that Fatbardh wasn't racing. |

Johnnie isn't happy with all these mountains..
But it will be a nice test to sprint against a former TDF green jersey winner.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
