Our goal: Marcel Kittel is German, so we try everyting to make sure he will win this race.
A group of 14 riders form the BOTD, but they don't get a gap more than 2 minutes. They get caught with 15km to go.
Then Monster Energy - Ford takes over with 7km to go. Lieuwe Westra leads our train, followed by Peter Sagan and Marcel Kittel.
It gets dangerous for Kittel, when other sprinters as Stánislav Kozúbek (PSK) and René Weissinger (Vorarlberg) close him in a bit, but thanks to Peter Sagan he easily finds a way out.
And Marcel Kittel takes the win in the Sparkassen Giro Bochum. He sprints to the 2nd win of the season (1st one was a stage in the Vuelta Mallorca).. Daryl Impey (Team NetAPP) gets 2nd and Peter Sagan 3rd.

The winner:
Word from the DS: We came to Bochum to get Kittel his 2nd win of the year, and we achieved it! Great job by the boys. Oh, for baia: this was on extreme Edited by dienblad on 09-10-2011 00:35
One day after the Clasica San Sebastian, the same Monster-riders take part in the Trofeo Getxo. It's a 177km race near the town of Getxo (does that really exist?, I like the name of it!!). It's a hilly parcours, but not that difficult.
5 riders form the BOTD: J. Sorensen (Glud), R. Retschke (NetAPP), D. Callego (Burgos), S. van Vooren (Topsport) and R. Sousa (Barbot). They get a maximum lead of 7 minutes.
10km before the finish they get reeled in and Monster Energy - Ford makes the pace.
The last 4km are slightly uphill, so Andy Schleck uses this to jump away from the peloton.
The rumour is that the podium girls of this race are the same as in the Clasica San Sebastian, so Andy Schleck tries everything to win this race. He has a few days left before he has to go to Colorado and he knows a way (well, many...) to make the best of it!
Andy takes the win! José Benítez (Andalucia) takes the 2nd place, and Ian Wilkinson (Endura) the 3rd.
Results: Hey, these are not the same girls.... Oh well, It will do!

World Tour ranking:
Rodriguez in 1st, Contador 2nd, Hesjedal 3rd and Gesink 4th.
Garmin - Cervélo leads the teams-ranking, followed by Monster Energy - Ford and BMC.
Continental Tour:
Daryl Impey (NetAPP) is the new leader followed by Tomasz Smolen (CCC). Pim Ligthart is in 4th.
Monster Energy - Ford leads the Continental teams ranking.
After winning the Tour and San Sebastian, Alberto Contador is the new leader of the CQ-ranking. Robert Gesink is in 2nd, followed by Joaquim Rodriguez.
Oh man, I'm so proud of this: monster Energy - Ford leads the CQ-ranking. Garmin Cervélo is in 2nd, Leopard - Trek in 3rd.
For the last months of this season, I'm proud to announce you 5 stagaires for our team! All of them got some good reults in the U23-races. Some wins, sometimes on the podium.
First Belgium Thibault Dupont, who is a good cobbeles-rider (could not get a good screenshot, never succeeded, strange).
Fellow Belgian Maxim Lefevre is a good puncheur.
Dutch Marc Lootens is someone for the hilly cobbled classics.
Jens Mulder is a great sprinter to be! Already 73 in sprints, with 4 stars left! It's no surprise that he won many sprints in the U23 class this year.
Cees Veldkamp is a rider for the cobbles!
We will see these 5 rider in the last 3 months of the season and all of them have signed a 3-year contract for the following years.
Nice...
Lefevre will be good in ITT/TTT....Lootens can be a great hilly rider in 3 years....and Mulder may win points jersey at one big tour..they look good...

@ baia & rorczp: I'm very happy with these young riders. I scouted Lefevre myself, and found the other ones because of great results in the U23 races. Especially Mulder, he won a lot of sprints in the U23-races!
Next stop is the Vuelta de Burgos, a 5 stage race that is an important preparation race for the Vuelta d'Espana. The Vuelta de Burgos consists of one flat race, 2 hilly stages, an ITT and one mountain stage.
In 2010, Samuel Sánchez took the win. He won't defend his title (he seems to have lost his mind recently, licking the water bottles instead of drinking out of them....), but there are some strong other races present!
Favourites:
*** Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank), Robert Gesink, Bradley Wiggins (Sky).
** Benat Intxausti (Movistar), Mikel Nieve (Euskaltel), Jerome Coppel (Saur).
* Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone), David Bernabéu (Andalucia), Chris Anker Sorensen (Saxo Bank).
Our goals: No real goals, because the fitness level is pretty low. So Top 5 for Gesink and a top 3 in a stage for Sagan.

First stage, from Villasana de Mena to Medina de Pomar. 175km with 3 KOTM-sprints (the same climb), categorizes as flat.
A group of 9 riders jump away early in the race. They get a maximum lead of 8 minutes.
Intermediate sprint 1: 1. Inaki Isasi (Euskaltel), 2. Pablo Lastras (Movistar), 3. Cameron Wurf (Liquigas), peloton + 1'00.
Intermediate sprint 2: 1. Stéphane Poulhies (Saur), 2. Sébastien Delfosse (Landbouwkrediet), 3. Noel Martín (Orbea), peloton + 7'25 (90km to go).
Rubens Bertogliati (Team Type 1) wins all 3 sprints for the KOTM-points.
KOTM 1: 1. Bertogliati, 2. Lastras, 3. Isasi, peloton + 6'10 (65km to go).
KOTM 2: 1. Bertogliati, 2. Lastras, 3. Fabio Taborre (Acqua & Sapone), peloton + 5'01 (37km to go).
KOTM 3: 1. Bertogliati, 2. Lastras, 3. Huo Salazar (Colombia), peloton + 2'05 (12km to go).
Bertogliati uses the last KOTM-sprint to attack and he creates a gap of '36 on the summit to his former BOTD-companions.
The Swiss Team Type 1-rider extends his lead in the downhill. With 5km to go, the chasing group is 1'44 back and the peloton 1'44.
Bertogliati starts celebrating already a few hundred metres before the finish. It's his first win of the season, so he enjoys every moment of it. Because of that, the peloton finishes in the same time. Grega Bole (Lampre) wins the sprint of the peloton, in front of Aitor Galdos (Caja Rural). Peter Sagan finishes in 9th place. Stagaire Marc Lootens is the only rider of the team that finishes outside the peloton. That's no shame, because it is his first ever professional cycling race, and he did a great job providing his team members with water!

Word from the DS: Just a stage, nothing happened.
Edited by dienblad on 09-10-2011 20:51
Stage 2, from Burgos to Mirando de Ebro is classified as hilly. But the 153km have over 2500 height metres in it, with a mountain top finish.
A group of 12 ride away: M.A. Candil (LA-Antarte), S. Nys (Landbouwkrediet), Mikel Bizkirra (Orbea), D. Kostyuk (Lampre), J. Roldán (Andalucia), V.H. Pena (Colombia), J. Galland (Saur), S. Pérez (Barbot), J. Janse van Rensburg (Burgos), T. Duggan (Liquigas), I. Izagirre (Euskaltel) and Romain Zingle. They get a maximum lead of 6 minutes. Candil wins the Intermediate sprint, in front of Nys and Bizkirra. 88km to go and the lead is 5'32.
The group is thinning out in the first climb of the day. Cantil reaches the summit as the first one, followed by Pérez and Duggan. Zingle is in 6th. 40km to go and the pelton follows at 3'18. In the descend, 8 man, including Zingle come together.
The last climb to Mirando de Ebro has started. 8km before the finish, only Cantil is in the lead, but the peloton is very close behind.
With 5km to go, three teams make the pace in the leading group: Monster Energy - Ford, Saxo Bank - Sunguard and Team Sky.
Bradley Wiggins is the first to attack with 4km left. Of course, Alberto Contador counter attacks, as well as Robert Gesink.
But Gesink finds out the hard way, that his fitness is pretty low (74). He has to let Contador and Wiggins go, and gets caught by the chasing peloton again. Up front, as expected Contador drops Wiggins and is on his way to another victory.
Wiggins comes close in the last km, but the win goes to El Pistolero. Wiggins follows at '9.
Thomas Löfkvist wins the sprint for the 3rd place at 1'14. Gesink finishes in 6th at 1'27.

Today's winner (and already a pretty familiar picture):
Word from the DS: Robert Gesink knew he couldn't compete with Contador and Wiggins uphill, but the sporter in him made him to follow these 2. That shows his mentality is allright.
Edited by dienblad on 10-10-2011 16:50
Stage 3, an individual time trial from Queso de Sasamon to Melgar de Fernamental, 14.6km long. It includes 2 small hills.
The best time is set by Lieuwe Westra, in 21'21.
But the time is beaten by the Swedish TT-champ Gustav Erik Larsson. The Saxo-rider is '19 faster, 21'02.
Peter Sagan sets the 2nd time so far, '10 behind Larsson. He will finish in 12th place, and will be the best place rider of our team.
Robert Gesink has a good split time, 10th place, but his low fitness level makes him fall back. In the end, he finds himself in the 27th place in the results.
The top 5
Mikel Nieve starts the ITT as the number 5 in the GC, but will drop 10 places. He rides a very disappointing ITT: 67th place at 1'42.
Rigoberto Urán has the 5th split time, and is 6th at the finish in a time of 21'02. He stays in 4th place in the GC.
The next Sky-rider, Thomas Löfkvist, sets a new best time: 20'37.
3 Sky's in a row, and their leader performs the best! Bradley Wiggins was '12 seconds faster than Löfkvist at the split, and he extends his lead to '22: 20'15.
But surprise, surprise: Alberto Contador is faster! '5 at the split and '13 at the finish: 20'02.

The winner:
Word from the DS: Not a good time trial, but we expected the results. You can't hide yourself when you fitness is bad in a time trial. Peter Sagan performed very well with the 12th place. Too bad for Marc Lootens he ended in last place, he made the mistake to start too fast. Another learning point for him. Tomorrow is a difficult hilly stage, with the last clim only 12km before the finish, and the day after tomorrow a mountain stage. Gesink is only '16 away from a top 5, so that is our goal!
Stage 4, from Vivar del Cid to Salas de los Infantes. 159km off hilly terrain, with the last summit / KOTM-sprint 15km before the finish.
A group of 12 riders form today's BOTD, but on the first categorized climb of the day, the group splits up. Mauro Finetto (Liquigas) is the first crossing the KOTM-sprint, followed by Vladimir Miholjevic (Acqua & Sapone), Jérémie Galland (Saur) and Egoitz García (Caja Rural). With 88km to go, they have an advantage of 7'13 to the peloton.
Shortly after the descend is the Meta Volante. Finneto is again th efirst, followed by Galland and García. 76km to go, and the lead is 6'50. .
The peloton, with the domestiques from Saxo Bank and Sky doing the pace, close the gap and when the last climb starts, they are only 3 minutes back to leasing group. Then with 20km to go, and 5km of climbing, it's GC-leader Contador who attacks. No one can react, but Wiggins. But the Sky-captain has to settle again very quickly. Robert Gesink decides to ride his own pace.
Contador passes the riders of the BOTD one by one and he crosses the summit of the climb in first place. Still 15km to go.
41 seconds behind Contador follow the 4 best riders of the BOTD: Finetto, Mihojlevic, Galland and García. Wiggins follows at 1'17 and Gesink at 1'27. He is accompanied by 3 team mates: Vanendert, Ruijgh and Zingle.
After the descend, with 5km to go, Contador has a lead of 1'08 over a 31 man big group.
And the Spanis rider takes his third consecutive stage win in this Vuelta de Burgos. It's getting kinda boring...
'59 behind, Löfkvist wins the sprint for the 2nd place, followed by former BOTD-member Finetto. Gesink sprints to a good 7th place.

The winner:
Word from the DS: Contador is way too strong for everyone in this Vuelta, it's not fun anymore. We didn't get any losses today and look forward to tomorrow's stage. We already know who is going to win that..... And I want to mention the 80th place of our stagaire Marc Lootens, well done!
