UPDATES
Hi guys,we had some problems with money and cyclists from Turkey,both of them thought that this team isnt that big project and it won't succeed so they left team,and we had to make a new squad (on 1st page).We had to correct some papers for races and stuff,so it took us some time.We hope our fans number is increasing and that you'll keep following our blog.
Thanks,sincerely,Managment of Elan - Turkish Airlines Team.

VUELTA A MALLORCA
1st stage
At the start of the stage,it was pretty boring,few breakaways that was caught easily.
At first sprint checkpoint Greipel was the only one who sprinted,so he got 6 points from it.
After about 5 kms from 1st sprint checkpoint,one group attacked,there was also our rider Luka Mezgec who took 2nd sprint checkpoint in tight sprint.
At about 50km to finish line Mezgec decided to go alone so he attacked.
At 10kms to go,he had 1,05min of advantage.
They finally got him at 2.7kms to go,right before sprint started.
Florencio from Katusha started the sprint,everybody was ready!
Farrar, Bole, Greipel and Ventoso came on top of the peleton.It was exciting!
At the last curvature Bole and Ventoso was the strongest,but Grega had amazing place from inside!
Aaaaaaaaaaand, Grega Bole took the win!
It was really,really close one!
Also,our 2nd sprinter for this race, Marko Kump got amazing place behind Greipel and came from nowhere to 3rd position, WHAT AN AMAZING DAY FOR OUR TEAM.
That's race report from today,see ya tommorow!
Sincerely,Managment of Elan - Turkish Airlines PT

TOUR OF QUATAR
Hi guys,today we're in Quatar,reporting the Tour of Quatar!
At about 100kms to go,small group of riders tried to get clear of the bunch
At 1st sprint checkpoint, Champion System rider, Chad Beyer outsprinted all guys and finished as first on it.
This was pretty boring stage,and advantage of 1st group was about 4 minutes,until 2nd sprint where it started to fall. Chad Beyer took 2nd sprint checkpoint also,aand thats everything he wanted from that breakaway today!
At about 20kms to go, E1 was in 1:10 advantage over peleton.
Advantage started to buuuuuurn and at 11 kms it totally dissapeared,group is catched,best sprinters now can prepare!
5kms to go,here we are,teams are creating trains!
There were 3 strong trains,one from IAM,one from Argos - Shimano,3rd one from Lampre,which one to take? Decision was on Bozic,who decided to go with Degenkolbs wheel.
Everything was ready!
At last curvature, Ciolek took Bozics wheel.
IAM started sprinting,aaand its simply started! Bozic got out of Degenkolbs wheel and he seemed very strong!
John Degenkolb was the strongest one,but who will finish on podium?
Eisel from Sky finished as 2nd,our rider Bozic finished as 3rd,yes,awesome sprint by Borut!
INTERVIEW TIME
Reporter: Hi Borut,amazing ride today,podium place,how do you feel?
Borut : Yay,amazing really,i took that wheel and i knew it will be the strongest one there,i was right and thats all!
Reporter: Whats your plans for next 5 stages of Tour of Quatar?
Borut: Aha,definetely my target is to get at least 1 win there,i hope i will,i am going into bus,we have to celebrate!
