Nothing has changed in the strategy compared to the other two Ardennes classics…
Cofidis works hard the first 100 km to make sure no one gets too far away.
With 100 km to go 9 riders including Urán has a decent gap so we send Bøchman, Wallin and Arntsen to the front.
With 50 km to go we have almost reeled in the break along with Saxo and Rabo.
The peloton is down to 40 riders.
With 22 km to go Andy Schleck is leading a 25-rider front group with Matzen, Fuglsang and Bøchman. All three have looked better though…
Soon after it turns in to an attacking frenzy, where Brian has more than enough to do just trying to hang on.
6 riders shell of the front and will most likely get to decide things between them. Andy Schleck, Kreuziger, Bardet, Hermans, Van der Sande and Ulissi.
Matzen is among the 13 riders chasing them, so a top 10 is still possible.
6,5 km to go and the front 20 riders are reunited.
Ulissi, Andy and Van der Sande get away while Brian does well to stay among the 12 chasers. Van der Sande takes another superior win while Matzen fight with all he’s got and just squeezes into the top 10.
The only riders in top shape of the ones we sent here were McDermott and Veikkanen. Apart from them Hushovd and Kristoff will be practising their sprint collaboration before the Giro.
With names like Bouhanni, Kruopis, Kump, Stybar and Phinney this is perhaps the strongest starting field for this race ever.
Several of the boys tried to get in the early break, but to no surprise most of the other teams agreed that we shouldn’t be allowed to…
So when the other teams didn’t want us to be part of the fun racing we decided to make it a hard day in the peloton the last 100 km instead.
Surprisingly Kruopis didn’t feel like waiting for the sprint and burned a lot of energy on several attacks the last 50 km.
With 15 km to go Lander made an attack that proved much more solid than we expected.
Erik tries to bridge the gap, but without the cobbles he can’t seem to make the difference.
Congratulations to Sebastian with a splendid win.
At least Kristoff and Thor seems to find each other nicely getting 2nd in the peloton’s sprint without being in top shape.
For a large part are team for Romandie is identical to the Giro team and that is what we are here for: Preparation.
But that also means that we expect Jakob Fuglsang to do a good job and prove himself ready to defend his Giro-win from last year.
Stage 1: Lausanne (ITT) Opening stages doesn't come much more traditional than this one...
The camera broke out on the route, so we can’t give you any pictures from there, but Fuglsang did great to finish 4th, while we were the best team on the day.

Stage 2: Morges – La Chaux-de-Fondes
This race only features potentially important stages as we can only expect small time differences and today is no exception.
Tobias Tonning went in the early break and was joined by 12 others.
Surprisingly Antón attacks on the main (but uncategorized) climb and is even allowed away. With 83 km to go he has 5’05’’ to the peloton and 2’34’’ to the break.
We can’t afford Antón winning several minutes already so we and a lot of other teams do our best to reel in the break while Tonning is told not to do any work in front.
It has a lot of effect on the size of the peloton but with 50 km to go the front group still has just over five minutes to the peloton.
With 15 km to the line Igor goes solo with 2’17 to the main group with Fuglsang and the other favourites.
Bøchman does a great job pulling, but this is starting to look dangerous!
7 km to the line we have brought the gap down to a minute when Fulgsang, Bentacur and Fränk Schleck tries to make the jump. Antón has to give up on the three km mark and things are set up for a chaotic sprint. Intxausti is first into the last 1,5 km with Fuglsang in his wheel.
On the last km Urán comes blasting by on the other side of the road. Urán is by far the strongest but the others are very close on the line and Fuglsang pays the price for his hard work

All together a good start where Jakob is in a perfect position to take the lead later in the race.
Good luck to Jakob. He certainly seems ready for the Giro.
I just read a lot of the posts and this is such a great story presented in such a reader-friendly way (especially to catch up on it). Love the multi-national approach, the continuied, natural growth of the team and especially your monthly overview of what's going on.

Shonak: Thanks, the rest of the race will bring more answers I guess...
Happy that you like the reports, they have changed a lot since the early days of the story, so it's nice to know they work as intended. It's always very nice to be able to attract new readers as well - there's always room for one more
Stage 3: Montbéliard – Moutier
Another stage where it’s all about staying awake and avoiding any time losses.
Former rider on our team Christopher Juul-Jensen gets in today’s break, but we fail to get on in there ourselves. Belisol seems to lose control over the break, so with 70 km to go we send some guys to the front to help. Kessiakoff and Tonning shake things enough in the peloton to drop yesterday’s big surprise Antón behind.
With 40 km to go the breakers still has 5 minutes. Looks like they will make it, but we keep on working to make sure the GC doesn’t get in danger while doing our best to rid Antón of all hope.
With 25 km to go and a gap of 5’30’’ it looks like a certain win to the break. Christopher is taking a bit too much of the work if you ask me though.
At the same time Antóns group manage to get back in touch with the peloton. Christopher burns his energy to early and Schets takes the stage win. Kessiakoff sets Fuglsang up for a long sprint hoping to gain a few valuable seconds.
He wins the sprint, but without a time gain. 5 sprint points is something as well I suppose…

Stage 4: La Neuveville – Charmey
With a light uphill finish this could be the day that some small time differences will occur.
It’s a very short stage, so we make an effort to make sure the break never gets too far away.
All through the day my boys do an excellent job.
With 30 km to go and a gap of just over 2 minutes Belisol have found it fitting to chip in on the work-load. Their guy does have the lead after all... Albasini has a small gap with 7 km to go and it seems unlikely that we can just reel in the break as planned.
So Lasse is told to Launch Fuglsang with 6 km to go. Jakob gets enough of a kick to catch the chasing group and pick up a few bonus seconds, but not enough to stop a home win.
2nd in the GC and first in the points classification is not the worst position to be in with two stages left.
