Stage:
100kms to go,Plaza with a surprise attack,Capecchi was in front of peloton,follow...
...but they get caught on the big climb...
..some riders attack for the points...
..and Serpa gets the 12pts...
P.Martens(RAB) is alone in front after the descent...1´34" gap.
After the I.sprint,Herrero and Bertogliati fall down...53kms to go..
Petrov(KAT) gives up....
Doing some great pace,Herrero can regroup with peloton...34kms..
10km mark...Martens still in front,gap 1´09"...
7,3kms...GC leader B.Grabsch,Herrero,Vaugrenard,Moreno,Haedo ,Plaza,are the most known riders among others that fall down...
5km mark,Cardoso in good position but is getting tired..
1km...Martens still in front..great stage from him..Cardoso fights...
..but B.Traksel(VAC) is faster and takes the win,Cardoso is 2nd,G.Bole3rd...Herrero lost 2´15"...

Thanks...in this stage we lost all chances to get a top5 or top10 with Herrero...this 2nd is good but will not pay our lost today...Footon needs points...
Just for you to know,we are racing Vuelta a Asturias at the same time as Romandie,all the stages will be posted after Romandie done,then you can prepare yourself for Giro D´Italia..

Stage3:
14 riders form BOTD,Eibegger is here too,he will fight for KOM class.,gap 3´52"...
BOTD will be catched in last climb,Eibegger collected most of the points,he´s new KOM leader...has peloton was preparing for the sprint,some riders attacked...2,2kms...Rolland,Zubeldia,De La Fuente and Serpa are in front...40" gap...
... Rolland is the strongest and wins,De La Fuente 2nd,Serpa 3rd...our riders had really a bad day...Herrero -3 ,Cardoso -4,they had no chance to do better result,pace was almost always high,Eibegger had a good day(+3) main reason why he managed to gain KOM shirt...

Really close sprint there. 3rd is a good start ahead of some good sprinters. |
