Tour Méditerranéen - Stage 3

Another day, another chance. Tomorrow is the time trial, an important day for all GC riders. So today was all about saving energy and avoiding risks.

Preview

Profile: Talk about fast and furious, today's stage only features 63 kilometers. It's mostly flat, but there is a small bump near the end that might unsettle the sprinters. A perfectly timed jump can make it to the finish, but then you'll have to stay clear of the sprinters' teams, and I don't know too many guys who can do that.

Behind the Scenes: We slept late today, the stage started an hour later because of it's (lack of) length. Team tactics were easy to remember today. Avoid falling. That's basically what today was all about. Scott isn't feeling too good so he wouldn't be taking part in the sprint today.

"Chris, I know you're not perfectly comfortable in the middle of the pack yet, but you better try and stay there today. If you get your nose into the wind, it'll blow you away. Don't let the length fool you, this will go down fast and hard. So stay focused."

The Race

Well, there's not much to be said about today's race. I tried to do as the manager said. I had water bottle duties about halfway the race and it took me a while to reach José, who was constantly at about 20th position.

The final 10 kilometers went insanely fast. I was trying to catch my breath when the sprint trains set up shop. Praying I could hang on, I found myself at the back of the peloton.

No flowers for Greipel today, as Alexandr Kolobnev proved too strong for the Gorilla. What an unexpected result.

I rolled in safely inside the peloton. No time lost for me today. With tomorrow's time trial in sight, I guess it wouldn't matter much if I had lost time anyway.

Analysis

If you ever want to become a professional cyclist, here's a bit of advice: never underestimate a short profile. You have no idea how fast some of these guys can ride. It still amazes me. But, well, I survived, and I'm learning.

Tomorrow is a time trial. This'll actually be the second time ever I'm on a time trial bike. I've had a chance to train on it, about a week ago. It felt uncomfortable. So I'm not sure what to expect tomorrow. Nothing brilliant, I reckon.
Still, I'm up for the challenge!

Respectfully yours,
Christian Reinhard Schultze

Another solid stage for Christian in the pack, he looks to be learning quickly!
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."

jandal7 - Let's hope he is. Time trial will be a big test! Nowhere to hide there!

Jakstar22 - Thanks a lot!

Cycleman123 - Well, since I kind of used it from a previous story of mine, I don't think it's stealing when you use ideas of your own... Pfft

Tour Méditerranéen - Stage 4

Big day for me as it was my first competitive time trial race. All alone against the clock, not a familiar type of racing for me.

Preview

Profile: The time trial is not entirely flat, it has some ups and downs, I guess that plays into my advantage. Besides, the time trial is only 18 kilometers, that should help to limit my damage.

Behind the Scenes: A quiet day at the breakfast table. I was one of the more relaxed riders on the team. For me, today is a test, nothing more. For José, today was much more important.

The Race

I started somewhere at around 1 pm. I was off to an unknown experience, hoping it would be all right.

The route went straight up, which didn't play into my advantage. There was no time to get used to the bike. After all, this was only my second time ever on a bike like that.

The downhill was even worse. You've got a whole different sense of stability on a time trial bike. I wasn't feeling too comfortably. After the first downhill, however, I settled down more and I finished the time trial a lot better than I had started it.

Analysis

Well, today was not good. Not for me, but especially not for José, who can pretty much forget about the GC after today. We will try to figure out what went wrong here, but it won't help us any further tomorrow.

Me, I was disappointed in myself. I finished one but last, only an ill De Troch behind me. It was only my second time of the time trial biek, that is true, but still... It's not a lot of fun to finish at the bottom of the table.

Tomorrow is our final day here, I hope we can find the motivation to make a lasting impact on the race after all.

Respectfully yours,
Christian Reinhard Schultze

Tour Méditerranéen - Stage 5

The final day of my first professional race. It's been an interesting 5 days and I've learned so much. It's time to put all I've learned so far into an action to help the team!

Preview

Profile: With a finish on Mont Faron, it limits the changes of winning for a lot of riders here. The punchers will be glad to see this profile. As for me, I don't care what they throw in front of my bike, I'll ride anything.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med501_zps65611331.jpg

Behind the Scenes: Today I was pleasantly surprised. George had come up with a battle plan for today. A plan to save this race for our team. That plan included me:

"Are you up to trying an attack again? Get in the break today, show our colors."

The Race

After yesterday's time trial, I was keen to show myself in a more positive light. The peloton was waiting for the flag to go down, I moved to the front.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med502_zps1c7faf9b.jpg

When the flag went down, I bend over my steering wheel and rushed away. The wind was blowing in my flank so it wasn't ideal.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med503_zpscf912266.jpg

I found myself in the company of Zaugg and Visconti. Not just any two riders!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med504_zps3e84aca4.jpg

Vorganov and Bonnafond made the jump forward, too, and so we were gone, the five of us.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med505_zps8e79dce4.jpg

My legs felt great, I didn't let yesterday's disappointment get to my head and decided to start fresh today. We worked together well. At first I was a bit intimidated by Visconti being in this group, but you quickly get over these sort of things. At the end of the day, you're two regular guys on a bike, trying to make a living. Though one of us earns more than the other. That aside, though, I had a great day at the front!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med506_zpsbd0d1231.jpg

I was feeling better and better. Riding in at the front of the race was even more wonderful than I'd ever thought it'd be. I've only started racing at the age of 17, so I'm not the best bike rider out there. In the peloton, things can get hectic. At the front, it's all so quiet, I love that.

George came next to me in the team car. "Great job, Chris, you're doing good today. Listen, don't give too much, don't be too eager. Save your energy a bit. You're doing great, kid!"

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med507_zpsd2c37035.jpg

But, of course, that wouldn't last. When the peloton was coming closer, our cooperation fell apart. Then it was just a question of who'd attack first. And that man was Zaugg. I didn't react straight away. When Bonnafond reacted, I made use of his slipstream.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med508_zpse2d7d12b.jpg

I watched Visctonti carefully. If somebody has the experience in these situations, it's him. He stayed calm for a long time, so I waited my time, too. So when Visconti attacked, I knew I had to go with him, or be lost.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med509_zps823ff256.jpg

The peloton was not far off, now. For the prestige, I persisted. And, in the end, I managed to complete my goal, to be the last one standing of the breakaway.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med510_zps36e8c8f8.jpg

I was caught by the peloton right where the climb to Mont Faron starts. My task was completed, I could finish the stage a happy man. After all, you know that peloton is coming at one point. It's just a given. I was happy to stay out of their reach for so long as I did.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med511_zps9529fc4b.jpg

Needless to say, I didn't even attempt to follow the pace of the peloton.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med512_zpsf8a21e49.jpg

Arredondo came out on top today, he must've packed quite a punch there, to beat Van Garderen and Rodriguez.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/IanButlerPCM2108/med513_zpse2874f7f.jpg

I finished 7 minutes down on the winner of the day. I was a bit surprised by the time I lost on that final, relatively small, climb. But in the end it doesn't matter if it's 7 or 17 minutes, I did what I had to do.

Analysis

All in all, it's been a successful Tour Med for me. I've not gone completely unnoticed and my final stage was a good one. I think I made the sponsors happy with that ride. Only too bad José hasn't found his good legs yet.

I thank all my readers for their support, it has helped me a lot during this first race. I can't wait for my next one, the DS has told me I might ride in Classic Sud Ardèche next.

Respectfully yours,
Christian Reinhard Schultze

Fantastic ride in the break from Christian, to be the last one standing in a break including Visconti is an achievement in itself!

15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."
