Maybe you should take it easy on one of the flat/hilly stages and loose about 10 minutes and go for breakaways in the mountains.

In the first season with regular DB, I won 2 stages and the mountain classification in the Vuelta a Espana finishing solo in front of Andy and co.

Although the 1.0 improvement made your career rather unrealistic, so you are already a great rider. I think many put this stat to 1.0 which is way to high.

But a great story so far.

Well because Vadevelde is in the yellow jersey, I'm gonna help relay and help him out, so falling off my happen anyway. But I won't be that good in the Mountains.

Stage 5

Today’s stage is flat with two chances for Lowe to get more King of the Mountain points. A large breakaway group got away at the beginning.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%205/TheBreak.jpg

Hesjedal and I brought back the break just in time for Lowe to take the KOM points.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%205/LoweKOM.jpg

The riders who fought for the KOM points got a gap and started another breakaway.

This was a relief because other teams trying to set up there sprinter took control of the peloton. Unfortunately for Lowe, Jens Voigt took the Polka Dot jersey from Lowe and the breakaway was caught with 16 kilometers left. Farrar couldn’t hold the wheel and was too far back to contend for the sprint. Napolitano won the sprint for Katusha.

Stage 6

Today is the last flat stage before we go into the Mountains. Lowe is looking to take back the KOM jersey from Voigt. Lowe was able to get in the break and took the KOM points and took back the Polka Dot jersey. The break looked really strong and looked like they could survive.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%206/Thebreak.jpg

Lowe was in a group of 4 in front that was barely holding off the peloton. With less then 3 kilometers left Lowe was caught and Cunego went on to win the sprint.

Stage 7

Today is the first Mountain stage of the tour and the team is working for Vandevelde today. There weren’t any major breakaways because we were able to control the peloton and keep breakaways from getting too far away. With 130 kilometers to go I attacked looking to get a gap. I went with two other riders and we survived for 60 kilometers. I took enough KOM points to move to 3rd place overall.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%207/Iattack.jpg

I had to drop back in order to help out Vandevelde. I wasn’t able to survive the big climb and dropped back leaving Vandevelde by himself. He did well staying upfront and holding on to 4th place. Gesink went on to victory ahead of Sastre.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%207/Gesinkwins.jpg

I finished a ways back, losing so much time that I am clearly not a GC threat.

Stage 8

Another Mountain stage and since I’m in 3rd place in the Mountain Classification I will try to take some KOM points during today’s stage. I was able to get in the breakaway and managed to finish in 1st in all the mountain sprints and will wear the Polka Dot Jersey tomorrow.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%208/KOMsprint.jpg

After I was caught the favorites began to attack and a small group got away including Contador, Samuel Sanchez, Basso, and Luis León Sánchez. L.L. Sanchez was in the yellow jersey and had a small gap ahead of the three other riders.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%208/SanchezchasedbySanchezContaBasso.jpg

Sanchez still had a small gap but at the final sprint Basso flew around and beat all the Spaniards.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%208/Bassowins.jpg

I finished way back but I do get the polka dot jersey.

Stage 9
The third Mountain stage of the Tour but the last 60 kilometers are downhill so there will probably be a large group of favorites in the lead by the end of the race. I started the race in the polka dot jersey, a great honor as a 22 year old rider.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%209/Meinpolkadot.jpg

I was looking to take even more KOM points during today’s stage so I attacked within 5 kilometers of the start.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%209/Imattacking.jpg

I got a gap and went solo up and down the Mountains, taking both of the KOM sprints.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%209/Iwinmountainsprint.jpg

After I was caught by the peloton and dropped, the favorites began to attack on the downhill. Vandevelde was the only Garmin rider in the front group. They all stayed together to the finish and Cadel Evans won the sprint.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%209/CadelEvanswins.jpg

I lose even more time but I do push my KOM lead farther ahead.

Best rider story i've seen in a long time...

Keep it up!

Stage 10
Today is a flat stage that should be a battle between the sprinters. Our team’s plan was to take is easy and to not do too much work. At the beginning of the stage a small group of riders broke away.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%2010/Thebreak.jpg

I didn’t bother going for the KOM points because they were worth so few points that they wouldn’t help me. After the breakaway was caught, the sprinters fought for the stage. It was Boonen who beat out Hushovd in the final sprint.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%2010/Boonenwins.jpg

Tomorrow is a rest day, so I will look forward to getting some of that energy back. We won’t have another Mountain stage for a while so I will stay in the peloton during the flat stages.

Stage 11
Another flat stage today and we are still looking to set up Farrar for his first win. A break got away early in the stage and their gap peaked at about 9 minutes.

i65.photobucket.com/albums/h201/matthew493/Daniel%20Martin/Tour%20de%20France/Stage%2011/thebreak.jpg

Thanks to LPR and Quickstep, the break was caught with 30 kilometers to go. We had a great train set up with Zabriskie in front followed by Sutton and Farrar. When Zabriskie threw off we were in great position.

Thanks to great position, rested legs, and great fitness we finished 1-2. Farrar took his first stage win of the tour.

Now we are over half way through the Tour de France and it has been very successful so far. We held the White and Yellow jersey. We now have the polka dot jersey. We won the TTT and stage 11. Lets hope the 2nd half will be just as good.
