Free Agent Posts: 113 Joined: 21-03-2007 PCM$: 200.00	Paris - Nice: Stage 7 A bumpy stage, and Schleck will definitely attack with only 5 seconds to lead. Joining the action today, Ivanov of Team Astana has attacked his companions in the breakaway. He is chased by, most notably Flecha, four riders. On the final hill, Van den Broeck and Moreau attack! Schleck is quick to follow and they are over the top of the final climb. Gutierrez is not in the lead group! If it can hang on Schleck will be riding tomorrow in yellow. Once again the breakaway is given a large gap and the power of with Flecha on the flat, Rabobank has got a rider in the lead. Speaking of Rabobank, Thomas Dekker goes on the attack in the GC group. Many try to follow, but no one can on this day. Victory for Flecha, who is showing form for the cobble classics. Dekker leads home the leaders, but just behind him is Frank Schleck. Gutierrez tried to use his team but they just weren't strong enough. Results: 1 Juan Antonio Flecha Rabobank 4h51'00 2 Sergei Ivanov Astana Cycling Team + 41 3 Aitor Galdos Euskaltel - Euskadi + 3'44 4 Christian Murro Lampre s.t. 5 Marco Marcato Cycle Collstrop s.t. 6 Thomas Dekker Rabobank + 4'30 7 FrÃ¤nk Schleck Team CSC - Saxo Bank + 4'59 8 Chechu Rubiera Astana Cycling Team s.t. 9 Cyril Dessel AG2R La Mondiale s.t. 10 Jurgen Van den Broeck Silence - Lotto s.t. 11 Carlos Barredo QuickÂ·Step + 5'51 12 JÃ©rÃ´me Pineau Bouygues TÃ©lÃ©com s.t. 13 Christophe Moreau Agritubel s.t. 14 Thomas LÃ¶vkvist Team Columbia s.t. 15 Sylvester Szmyd Lampre s.t. 16 Peter WrÃ¶lich Gerolsteiner s.t. 17 Vicente ReynÃ¨s Team Columbia s.t. 18 Riccardo RiccÃ² Saunier Duval - Scott s.t. 19 Sylvain Chavanel Cofidis, Le CrÃ©dit par TÃ©lÃ©phone s.t. 20 Thor Hushovd CrÃ©dit Agricole s.t. 21 Stefan Schumacher Gerolsteiner s.t. 22 Markus Zberg Gerolsteiner s.t. 23 Murilo Fischer Liquigas s.t. 24 Greg Van Avermaet Silence - Lotto s.t. 25 Luis LeÃ³n SÃ¡nchez Caisse d'Epargne s.t. 26 JosÃ© IvÃ¡n GutiÃ©rrez Caisse d'Epargne s.t. 27 Bernhard Eisel Team Columbia s.t. 28 RenÃ© Mandri AG2R La Mondiale s.t. 29 Maxime Monfort Cofidis, Le CrÃ©dit par TÃ©lÃ©phone s.t. 30 Rigoberto UrÃ¡n Caisse d'Epargne s.t.

He should be able to hang on tomorrow, and depending on the situation he could win overall, points and the mountain competition. But maybe we're getting a bit greedy

Free Agent Posts: 113 Joined: 21-03-2007 PCM$: 200.00	Paris - Nice: Stage 8 A mountainous stage today, one where those close to victory will try their luck. Frank will just have to follow wheels today to keep his lead. The break of the day gets away, all riders who have no threat to the GC. Loosli of Lampre sets a tempo too high for anyone else to follow on the first mountain and soon finds himself alone. At the bottom of the final climb, Loosli is just about three minutes ahead of the peleton. Ricco is hungry for a stage win and a possible win in the GC as well. He attacks right from the start. Team CSC - Saxo Bank sets a reasonable pace and he is kept within 25 seconds. Then Dekker, 2nd overall, tries his shot at victory. Schleck see's Dekker leave the peleton and with it his chance of winning. He radios the team car for advice, but I tell him to wait and give the command to the other riders to work harder. Eventually Dekker and Ricco burn themselves out and Schleck blows right past them. But it was at the very top of the climb and so a couple of other riders join him on the descent, including Ricco, Dekker, Rubiera and Joly. Still though, CSC worked hard to keep the peleton together on the ascent and now Caisse D'Epargne works hard to get it all back together and the descent. Loosli nets his team a great victory. And the peleton is altogether now, where Gutierrez takes the sprint for second. Reaction: A great win for CSC - Saxo Bank. We came here hoping to hone form for later races and Schleck managed to dominate Ventoux and grap the leader's jersey in a hectic hilly stage.

Free Agent Posts: 113 Joined: 21-03-2007 PCM$: 200.00	Tirreno - Adriatico: Stage 1 A few bumps at the end of the race should make this stage interesting. We will try to keep Haedo in the peleton for a sprint. The normal break of the day gets established and rolls along the coast. The hills reduce the number of riders in the break, but the gap is not big enough, it will all come back together. Valverde starts his sprint with one kilometer to go. His legs might be a little bit more fresh than the sprinters after the three climbs. And he takes it easy, the Green Bullet wins the stage comfortably.

Free Agent Posts: 113 Joined: 21-03-2007 PCM$: 200.00	Tirreno - Adriatico: Stage 2 A decent sized hill will allow for attacks and most likely a reduced group finishing the stage. The break goes away as always, but with 40k's to go, a group of strong riders from the peleton have a go. In it are Nocientini and Mazzanti, as well as Ardila and Nuyens. About a third of the way up the final hill the big favorites try their luck. Sanchez is the first to attack. Voigt decides to counter the move, and is followed by the rest of the favorites, including Cancellara. The lead group now looks as so: However, it is oddly missing Cunego, Valverde and Simoni, as well as Rabobank. Gadret, Cancellara Valverde and Sanchez join the group with only a couple kilometers to go. Voigt sees the threat of Valverde and attacks immediately, hoping to catch the Spaniard out of breath after his effort to get to the lead group. Voigt powers away. It pays off! Voigt takes the stage and the jersey. The group grew in size and now about twenty riders still have a chance at claiming the overall.

Free Agent Posts: 113 Joined: 21-03-2007 PCM$: 200.00	Tirreno - Adriatico: Stage 3: The day ends with two rides up the famed Montelupone. No doubt riders will have to stay near the front to stay in contention. Cancellara and Voigt must perform. The break gets away, no threat at all. The break is caught at the base of the first time up, and at the summit its still all together. But the plateau at the top of the climb provides an opportunity for the world champion to attack. It's too early and he burns himself out up the final climb. Young Rabo rider Gesink gives it a try. But he burns out too, and Cobo, along with Simoni, draft wheels until the final couple hundred meters where they sprint for the line. Victory for Gibo! A very important victory for his sponsors, Diqu- screw it too long! Voigt and Cancellara get stuck behind a lot of riders but wouldn't have had the legs anyway. They do remain a possibility for the overall.

A decent sized break away escapes but the peleton refuses to let them have a large gap. Disaster for the Saunier rider Cobo, he goes down hard and with it his hopes are done. It's a rela shame because he was one of the few top 5 riders that could TT. Gadret crashes as well and has to abandon. Cobo will lose many minutes. Kroon attacks on the final climb and gets a gap, but starts to fade with the wind on the flat. With a couple hundred meters to go, Kroon has an advantage with Ballan and Pozzato chasing. Kroon fades and its up to Ballan and Pozzato who are neck to neck. But the man with the golden locks takes the win.

Some good times are set throughout the day, but it finally gets around to the real contenders. Evans destroys the field and sits at first place. Not far behind him, world time trial champion Cancellara comes through and is losing by 17 seconds at the first time check. He manages to gain some ground and finishes 4 seconds behind evans. Next in is our other leader Voigt who isnt in the same league as the past two riders but manages to finish within 23 seconds of Evans. The top three aren't strong time trialists but with a couple seconds of advantage could hold on. Sanchez is the first one to disprove this. He is the best TTer of the three and has a dissapointing ride, +1'09" Last year's Giro champion can't keep up, crossing the line 56 seconds back. Finally, Simoni is out on the road, notorious for his poor skills alone. He re-afirms that suspicion and loses Tirreno, 1' 43" behind Cadel Evans, the winner today.

There will definitely be attacking tomorrow, as one second means victory.

Free Agent Posts: 113 Joined: 21-03-2007 PCM$: 200.00	Tirreno - Adriatico: Stage 6 A couple laps around a decent hill should split the peleton, the question is: can Cancellara or Evans distance themselves? The breakaway for today is huge, consisting of 16 riders. The peleton chases and keeps the gap manageable but the all of the riders in the break are working and they manage to hold a lead. A scary quartet of riders attacks the peleton and rips up a large gap: Mazzanti, Langeveld, Bettini and Nocientini. After driving hard and some win factor, only Bettini can make it to the leading group. The second time up the hill Rebellin attacks and the responders can't follow him. he is flying towards the lead group. At the bottom up the climb Evans attacks and everyone follows. A large group of favorites sits in between the breakaway and the peleton. Voigt attacks and when more favorites follow him Cancellara decides to go as well! Suprisingly Evans can't/doesn't respond! This could be it. Just up ahead Florencio pulls out a very suprising victory ahead of Bettini. The sprint from the chasing favorites manages to bridge up to the breakaway and everyone will get that time. Its really strung out but Evans hangs on and won't lose time to Cancellara. However, Cancellara finished higher up on the stage and will stay in the jersey.

Free Agent Posts: 113 Joined: 21-03-2007 PCM$: 200.00	Tirreno - Adriatico: Stage 7 This stage is definitely for the sprinters, Cancellara has the edge over Evans by a big margin in this territory. The hills at the beginning of the stage tears apart the break away, and these two riders remain in front. They will be caught. The sprint is setting up, and Cancellara wisely chooses Ballan, who has been up there in the sprints. Wow! Cancellara unleashes his sprint and is leading barely. What started out as clawing for places on the stage may turn into a win. Ballan, Bettini and Rojas are close behind. It's clear with a couple hundred meters left that it will come down to Cancellara or Ballan. The Lampre rider takes the stage, but Cancellara takes the time bonus and the race.
