Tour Down Under Final Stage
Big breakaway group. But the stage is too short to make a huge difference and win the stage
Same riders in our train but it seems that they will work for Maaskant who is behind Eisel
Ignatiev is doing a great job there leading us and the whole pack
But Eisel doesn't seem to be in his mood as a lead-out man. Now he and Maaskant are behind
Petacchi is leading in the last corner. O'Grady is after him
Maaskant is coming really fast now in the last metres, but O'Grady is still there and he won't probably be able to take the orange jersey at the end
Petacchi wins! O'Grady is second and he keeps the orange jersey winning the final overall rankings. Maaskant was third which means that he fisnihed second overall, in his first race with Team Columbia
Stage
1.  Alessandro Petacchi Gerolsteiner 1h52'51
2.  Stuart O'Grady LPR Brakes - Ballan s.t.
3.  Martijn Maaskant Team Columbia s.t.

Tour of Qatar Stage 3
With 7km to go the pack is really split by the wind. Cornu, Cavendish, Boom, Hagen and Wiggins are in the first group while Martin, Zabriskie and Phinney are left behind
It seems that Cavendish is going to be lead-out today by Wiggins and Hagen
But he sudenly loses Hagen's wheel and is left behind
Too bad that that happened as Wiggins and Hagen are now leading the pack
Acceleration by Passeron and nobody can keep it up with him
Cavendish is really fast in the last metre but it's too late
Passeron takes the stage win. He is also the new overall leader
Stage
1. Aurélien Passeron Saunier Duval - Scott 3h26'26
2.  Mark Cavendish Team Columbia s.t.
3. Jarno Van Mingeroet Mitsubishi - Jartazi - Protech s.t.
4.  Edvald Boasson Hagen Team Columbia s.t.
5. Daniele Righi Lampre s.t.
6. Paul Martens Rabobank s.t.
7. Alexandre Moos LPR Brakes - Ballan s.t.
8. Damien Gaudin Bouygues Télécom s.t.
9. Gabriele Bosisio LPR Brakes - Ballan s.t.
10. Fran Ventoso AG2R La Mondiale s.t.
Overall
1. Aurélien Passeron Saunier Duval - Scott 6h43'31
2. Mark Cavendish Team Columbia + 2
3. Edvald Boasson Hagen Team Columbia + 14
4. Bradley Wiggins Team Columbia s.t.

Hi, are you going to make a new story when PCM 09 comes out? (maybe about Lance and his comeback?) |

I see no reason to start a new story as this one is going pretty well I would say and I also want to see how much Boom, Meersman, Ciolek, Hagen or Phinney can progress. That's why I think now it's more fun that at the begining as now the young guns are able to fight with some fo the best |

the progresion isn't very fast for any rider. And 72 TT at 19 years old is pretty good. |
