Your story really wants me to have some other cyclocross guys on the road. I keep thinking Kevin Pauwels would be awesome if he focused on the road, but since he just resigned for 3 years to his cyclocross team, he'l be too old then Sad

Anyway, great story Pfft
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Hehe, thanks Ollfardh. I'd love to see some more CX guys on successfully on the road too, but I suppose the balance is hard to make. Also, thankfully there's quite some money in CX and at least that's a good thing I guess. Wink

Thanks admir. I like it too Grin

Coppa Agostoni, Copa Bernocchi & Tre Valli Varinese

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Visconti/RR_08_2014/2014-03-2601_35_59-Greenshot_zps8607b508.jpg

Three days, three races, three times hopefully something good to report? I decide to combine all three of them.

The first one was the Coppa Agostoni on Thursday, 21st August. The race leads from Lissone over a few very steep climbs. In the last 20 kilometers though, the finale to Lissone is flat.
After my wins at Eneco Tour, I tried to talk a bit with Contador. He had actually no idea who I was. Nevermind. That just showed me that it was still a long way to the top. My teammate Cameron Wurf meanwhile was busy making a name for himself as well, since he was in the break. However, the steep climbs hurt Wurf quite a lot, since there are some more than decent climbers in the break. Rafael Valls ends up winning the race out of the break of the day.
I myself managed to keep up with the best riders over the several steep climbs towards Lissone. Contador was oftentimes next to me. After the last climb, the peloton only consisted of 45 riders and I worked for Gatto to reel in the peloton. It was sort of a thank you for the massive service he did a few days prior at Eneco Tour. All my efforts weren’t enough though, although Omega Pharma, Belkin and AG2R were chasing too. Well, better luck next time? I came in 20th, Gatto merely 14th. Disappointing.

On the next day, we had the Coppa Bernocchi. From Legnano to Legnano, there was multiple times the same, small hill featured. That climb wasn’t too demanding though and the peloton didn’t have much problems getting over it. With about 90 kilometers left, Ratto, Wurf and I started to pace over the hill and each time we climbed it, we went a bit faster. We tried to decimate the peloton for a possible sprint win of Gatto. It didn’t work out though. Gatto finishsed 5, Gavazzi from Astana won the race.

Last day of my first Italian home-turf challenges: Tre Valli Varinese. Quite a demanding route since it’s up and down right from the start of the 196 km route. Typical Lombardia if you ask me (and thus I love it). From Varese to the Enclave of Campione d’Italia in Switzerland, the race was toughened by Omega Pharma, Belkin and Tinkoff who worked hard for their captains. Unlike the others day, Cannondale kept themselves incognito in the bunch. However, on the last 10 kilometers, we were coming upfront and some guys like Bodnar and Villela were pacing for us. The original plan for me was to launch Moser, however Purito got the jump on us when the climb up to Campione d’Italia started. It’s one steep, short hell of a climb, and I just pushed through. I lost ground quickly but to my surprise, I gained ground too on other riders… And yes, in the end Campione d’Italia may saw a Spanish rider win, but an Italian youngster once more showed his name and face to the public. Purito's acceleration was admirable, and looking back I have to admit that the little time gained with his help, put me on the podium.
I crossed the line as 2nd and confirmed my good overall form recently. And one thing is for sure: They may be surrounded here from swiss people, but the tivosi here are as fantastic and lovely as in Italy.

Thanks everybody. Raphael had a good position at Tre Valli so I had to try with him. It was real close though but hey, 2nd is 2nd.

@SSJ2Luigi: Raphael Visconti Banana Pfft

@Ian Butler: Haha, I guess so, however he still looks much like a kid Wink Made a bit of name so far in the late season.

Giro del Veneto
When you pay back your debts…

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/2014-03-2721_46_28-Greenshot_zps4ebded09.jpg


You may remember that I owned (or basically stole) my first stage win at Eneco Tour from Fabio Sabatini. Some of my previous races have been under the flag of returning the favour. Today it was my chance to pay Fabio back a little bit at Giro del Veneto. The race from Teolo to Imola has a finish that suits him very much but there were also some hills one had to take on.

I spent long time protecting Fabio first off, and the race presented itself calm. There was a break and it got caught rather fast. Things got intense when Dyachenko and Knees attacked with about 20 kilometers left and they were really getting away there. I threw myself to the front and paced like hell down the road. As usual in one-day races it’s hard to get upfront, but it’s more challenging to stay there. It went a little ways downhill, not much, but a little bit. That played into my cards though. And I kept striking those pedals and I was so damn fast, you wouldn’t believe the numbers. Fabio knew he had to keep just on my wheel there.

When we went into the finale kilometer I still had lots to give and I gave it all for Fabio there. I think I did a great job pacing him to the finish line, but Fabio’s sprint was truly flawless. No one stood a chance. We could celebrate a true team victory, like last time in Belgium there. I first thought that my conscience would be clear by now but truth was, I had the feeling that I could pace and lead him to another hundred victories and still, it would never be enough to thank him for the favor at stage 2 of Eneco Tour.

@sutty68: Always eager to help everybody, he's a little samaritian sometimes (if he wants to be)

@Ian Butler: Ah, well you know... he likes his wins mostly when it's him and not when someone else was stronger.

GP Ouest Plouay France
France speaks sagan-ish again

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Visconti/RR_08_2014/sag_plouay_zpsa66f2df9.jpg

Peter Sagan won the GP Ouest Plouay France for the team on a cloudy day, where the riders were lucky that it didn’t start to rain. Cannondale paced early on and held a firm grip over the peloton. Kittel came in 2nd.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Visconti/RR_08_2014/2014-03-2722_33_41-Greenshot_zps8de980a9.jpg

I myself spent a day in the wind. And after that, I could do even more work. Because Sabatini’s legs felt a bit heavy, I was ordered to do the lead-out after my performance on the previous day in Imola. I am certainly not the fastest, I lack experience for positioning and tactics, and I’m not even decently tall and big enough to protect Sagan effectively from the wind at such high-speeds, but I was chosen nonetheless as the man for the job. I was told I did a fantastic job on the last 20 kilometers to catch the breakaway riders. I rushed up the hill ahead of Ouest, and Sagan kept my wheel. He finished the sprint in a perfect manner. I came in 23rd.

So, yes. I lack many attributes to be a rider against the wind, for relay-work and for lead-out duties, but one thing is for sure: I can take a beating. And that just may be my winning feature by now for such races.

Late World Tour Races

A quick summary from all the WT races I didn’t attend around that time.

Vattenfall Cyclassics was won by local superstar Marcel Kittel. Looks like he is back in shape after a disappointing 2014 Tour de France campaign.
Philippe Gilbert won the first Canadian semi-classic, the GP Quebec. He outsprinted Kwiatkowski in a 1 vs. 1 duel. After Milano- San Remo, this is Gilbert’s second big win this year. He certainly seems to be back again after a true season to forget in the World Champion-Jersey last year.
Another great rider, Fabian Cancellara, claimed the win two days later in Montreal. He arrived with over a minute lead onto Peter Sagan and really dominated that race it seems. Alberto Contador surprisingly came in 3rd.

My next race will be the Tour of Britain and then I hope to get selected for the Italian Team for the World Championships in Ponteferrada. Cross your fingers for me there. First however, there’ll be a rather short summary of the Vuelta a Espana. Unfortunately the race wasn’t anything close to be as exciting and dramatic as in previous years.


(NOTE: I play Team USA at the WC. Choice was between Slovakia and USA there. And yes, this is one of the reasons why Sagan had to leave. Wink )

Vuelta a Espana 2014

There was one name we need to mention really: Alejandro Valverde.

This year’s Tour de France winner is in the form of his life. He was multiple times the Number One in the world but never did he impress so much in a season. His lead in the World Tour rankings is impressive (over 300 points), and numerous stage races, including 3 further World Tour events, are on his palmares this season.

Previously, people talked about Kreuziger, Scarponi, Pozzovivo, Henao, Van Garderen and Basso as his biggest rivals. And of course, last year’s winner Chris Horner was eager to defend his triumph and he looked in shape.

Cannodale’s line-up consisted of Ivan Basso and Moreno Moser as the flag-ships. Davide Villela, Cameron Wurf, Alessandro De Marchi and Cayetano Sarmiento switched between domestique services and breakaway chances. Michel Koch, Maciej B odnar and Kristjan Koren were mostly guys for the flat parts.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Visconti/RR_08_2014/Vuelta/2014-03-2718_19_42-Greenshot_zps62725e80.jpg
Some bad weather on most days for the riders

Early on, Valverde got his grip on the peloton. To be precisely, Movistar got the jersey on the first day and on the third, Valverde took it from his teammate Ventoso’s shoulders. From there on out until the last day in Madrid, Valverde did not lose it at any point. Basically three perfect weeks for the Spaniard. He collected a total of 5 stage wins, took the King of the Mountain jersey as well as the Points jersey. What’s would be more to tell there?

During the Vuelta it was announced that T.J. Van Garderen would join Cannondale next season! While some people laughed at first in those internet forums, they were quickly silenced when Van Garderen claimed 3rd place in the third week and hang onto it until the last stage. Surely a great sign for the team next year!
Most of the sprint stages were a tough fight between Cavendish and Greipel, both of them took numerous of them. Another surprise was Tom Dumoulin who took stage 12, 18 and 19 out of a breakaway. Truly a remarkable performance by him.

Basso among the very best, not making any difference

There was basically nothing to be seen though of Cannondale. The guys tried it here and there, but it was never good enough. Even Moser disappointed and couldn’t use one of the many hilly stages for a win. So while Cannondale could celebrate quite a few victories in one-day races lately, the team fairly disappointed here in Spain.
Oh, and one last thing: David Millar won the last stage in Madrid out of the breakaway and just narrowly finished ahead of the peloton.
