The 5th and last stage is one tough stage! 194km from Vilviestre del Pinar to Lagunas de Neila. 4 climbs and the last steep climb to Lagunas de Neila, 10km at 7.3%.
We jump to the summit of the 2nd climb of the day, with 88km to go. 3 riders are up front: Sergio Pardilla (Movistar), Adrian Palomares (Andalucia) and Santiago Pérez (Barbot). Their lead to the peloton is about 6 minutes. The classifications in the earlier Meta Volantes and KOTM-sprint:
KOTM 1: 1. Pérez, 2. Victor Hugo Pena (Colombia), 3. Daniel Navarro (Saxo Bank).
MV 1: 1. Aitor Galdos (Caja Rural), 2. Marc Lootens, 3. Gustav Larsson (Saxo Bank).
When the penultimate climb has started, and the peloton still has 39km (and 5 in this climb) to go, we see an attack by Alberto Contador.... Nobody even bothers to react, all the riders believe in a win by the GC-leader. The leaders still have a gap of 3'32 to Contador.
Meanwhile, Pardilla has dropped Pérez and Palomares and reaches the summit of the climb all alone. With still 34 km to go, and the last 10 uphill, he leads Palomares and flying Contador by '50. Pérez follows at 1'22, Bradley Wiggins (who attack 1.5km before the summit) at 2'24, and a group with Gesink, Stefano Garzelli, Thomas Löfkvist, Rigoberto Urán and Benat Intxausti at 3'00.
In the long descend to the foot of today's last climb, Contador has closed the gap to Pardilla and already drops his fellow countryman. Wiggins gave a lot to catch Contador, and is '39 back. Garzelli and Chris Anker Sörensen follow at 1'44 and the group Gesink, Löfkvist, Urán and Intxausti at 2'08.
3.5km to go and Contador will get his 4th stage win, out of 5 stages. Pardilla is still in 2nd at 1'14. Wiggins follows at 1'37 and the group Gesink, with Garzelli and Sörensen back in it, at 3'10.
Robert Gesink is looking for the third place in the GC and sets a high pace. He drops Garzelli and is in 4th place.
Contador can start an early celebration, with 4 stages and the GC in this Vuelta de Burgos. I hope his season will be over after this and he won't ride the Vuelta d'Espana!
Wiggins finishes in 2nd, and looses 3'58 today. Robert Gesink rides an very good last part of the climb and comes in in 3rd place at 4'47. This will be enough for the third place in the GC!

The winner, a picture you've already seen a lot!
Word from the DS: So thanks to a great ascend of the Lagunas de Neiler by Robert Gesink, we achieved our goal with a top 3 in a stage and top 5 in the GC. He did great and a great support by Ruijgh and Vanendert. I also give all credits to Marc Lootens; it's not easy to finish yur first prfoessional stage race, especially when it is a difficult race as the Vuelta de Burgos.

Unrealistic stats from el Pistelero
Yes, and no... In my opinion, he is the best rider in the world when it comes to GT´s (although he didn't won the TdF). He's the best climber, has a very good TT. I haven't changed any stats, so don't know abou the FTR-STA-RES-REC stats.
The Eneco-Tour is a 7-stage World Tour race, that is held in the Netherlands and Belgium. It's a very mixed stage race, with a prologue, a ITT, cobbles, Ardennes-climbs, flat and climbs in the Dutch province of Limburg (known from the Amstel Gold Race).
The 2010-edition was won by German Tony Martin. He formed an break with Dutch Koos Moerenhout in the stage in the Flamish Ardennes and the 2 gained enough time to be sure of the win. And of course the HTC/rider was the better time trialist, so he took the overall win.
This year, both aren´t present for different reasons. Martin races somewhere else (Vuelta?) and Moerenhout ended his long career. So who are present?
The first stage in the Eneco Tour is a 5.7km prologue in Amersfoort. It's completely flat and has some roundabouts in it as the main obstacles.
Niki Terpstra, our leader in the Eneco Tour, disappoints with the 47th place, '32 behind the winner.
Sébastien Rosseler is '7 faster than Terpstra and with that result he is the best Monster today. 20th place in total.
Philippe Gilbert is one of the GC-favourites, but he ain't a prologue-specialist. He minimizes his loss today, finishing in 9th place at '16.
HTC's Tejay van Garderen had to start early today and that gave him the advantage of riding in the sun and on dry tarmac. He had the best time for a whie, but eventually had to settle with the 5th place, 15 seconds slower than the winner of today.
Czech Roman Kreuziger is '2 faster than Van Garderen and finishes in 4th place today.
We enter the top 3. Lars Boom exploits his home advantage and his time trial skills (as well as his cross skills, with all the roundabouts). The TdF-stage winner finishes in 3rd place in 7'21. 12 seconds slower than today's winner.
Norwegian Thor Hushovd surprises with the 2nd place. The cobbles-specialist from Garmin - Cervélo is one second faster than Boom.
And the favourite takes the win! Time trial world champion Fabian Cancellara sets a time of 7'09. With that time, Spartacus is '11 faster than number 2 Hushovd. It's already his 9th win of the season (1x stage Tirreno,
E3-prijs, Gent-Wevelgem, 1x stage Ronde van België, 2 stages Tour de Suisse and bith the ITT as the RR-championship of Switzerland).

Today's expected winner:
Word from the DS: Although the gaps are small, we feel disappointed about the prologue. We had hoped that we would be closer to the top 10.
2nd stage, from Oosterhout to Sint-Willibrord on Dutch soil.
I simulated this stage. I simply didn't feel like playing the stage, when it would turn out in a mass sprint. The other sprinters would be way too strong (Cavendish, Petacchi, Farrar) for us (our sprinter Keukeleire was in a form of 84). Blame me for doing it, I have no excuse, simply didn't feel like playing it.
And what happens? A 2-man break stays away and wins.....

Today's winner: Edited by dienblad on 12-10-2011 18:55
Stage 3 brings us from Aalter to Aardooie, what means we are in Belgium. There are only 3 short climbs and one short cobbled section. After it there 60 more km to go.
Unfortunately the game crashed 2 times while loading it. So I had to simulate again. A to my surprise, it did not turn out in a mass sprint, but it looks like there has been raced a cobbled classic. Strange....

Today's winner:
Word from the DS: I haven't seen anything of today's race. My car ran out of petrol, so I missed everything.

Haha, sorry, I've already played tage 4 and I'm preparing the report. After that the TT, and 2 rpetty flat races, so maybe I will (I feel the urge to start the Vuelta!
Stage 4, from Heers to Ardenne, brings us into the Ardennes. It consists some famous climbs, such as the Mur de Huy (1.3km at 9.3%), the Cote de Saint-Roch (2x, 1.4km at 4.3%) and La Fime (2x, 2.4km at 5.6%).
5 riders have found each other in todays first breakaway and they divide the points for the Intermediate sprint: 1. Kevin Peeters (Landbouwkrediet), 2. Jurgen van Goolen (Veranda's), 3. Sérgio Paulinho (Radio Shack), Gorka Verdugo (Euskaltel) and Romain Feillu (Vacansoleil). A few kilometres later, they get caught.
Then 5 others have more luck. The peloton lets them get away and they reach the 2nd Indermediate sprint with an advantage of 6'35, with 73km to go. Order: 1. David de la Fuente (Geox), 2. Ben Hermans (Radio Shack), 3. Bert de aele (Landbouwkrediet), 4. Jempy Drucker (Veranda's), 5. Gorka Izagirre (Euskaltel).
60 kilometres later in the stage, at the same point in the route: again an Intermediate sprint on the Cote de Saint-Roch. Izagirre is the first, followed by De la Fuente and Hermans. The peloton is still 4 minutes back, so one rider from this break will win this stage!
Back in the peloton. We see GC-leader Fabian Cancellara, who has attacked out of the peloton. He gets joined by Geraint Thomas (Sky).
The leading group starts the last climb of the day, the La Fime. WIth 8km to go, their lead is still 2'42 to Cancellara and Thomas and 3'20 to the peloton. Four Monster's are in that peloton: Ligthart, Poels, Rosseler & Terpstra.
At the foot of the last climb, Philippe Gilbert counterattacks. He tries to close the gap to Cancellara, Thomas and Ángel Madrazo, who started a counterattack 20km before Cancellara did.
When the camera switches back to the leading group, we see that David de la Fuente has attacked out f it and with 5km to go, he has a lead of '36 to his 4 chasers.
Already in the last kilometre, Ben Hermans and Gorka Izagirre try to make the jump. But De la Fuente still has a lead of '24.
First win of the season for this GEOX-rider. I think we will see De la Fuente in the Vuelta next week. Hermans, Izagirre and De Waele finish at '29, Drucker at '54. Cancellara and Gilbert come in as number 6 & 7 at 1'36
The peloton finishes 2'24 behind De la Fuente and Pim Ligthart wins the sprint of it.

The winner:
Word from the DS: This feels like a missed opportunity. We decided not to go in a break today, and help the leaders (Rosseler, Terpstra, even Ligthart) in the final part of the race. Top 10 will be difficult, but we'll see after tomorrow's ITT.
Edited by dienblad on 12-10-2011 21:46
Stage 5. A 14.7km long time trial with start and finish in the city of Roermond. It's a very cornery road, with some bridges (over the rider Maas/Meuse) and a lot of sharp turns.
Czech time trial champ Roman Kreuziger sets the best time so far in 20'49. He's the first to go under the 21-minute border.
The best 2 Monster-riders of this day can't beat him. First Sébastien Rosseler, who gets the 15th time in 21'17.
Niki Terpstra is 2 seconds slower and wil finish in the 18th time.
Then we have a new leader: Lars Boom (Rabobank) is '8 faster than Kreuziger and sets a new best time of 20'41.
The number 3 in the GC, Nick Nuyens (Saxo Bank), finishes in 21'24 and has to settle with the 28th place today.
GC number 2 Philippe Gilbert rides a very fast ITT, and sets the 2nd time only '7 behind Boom (sorry about not pressing CTRL+U).
Everybody knows that Fabian Cancellara will crush the time of Boom. Spartacus appears to be in very good form and sets the best time of 20'16, that's '25 faster than Boom. Spartacus is a league of his own!

The winner:
Word from the DS: Decent ITT's by Rosseler and Terpstra, which brings them in 14t and 15th place in the GC..
The post from baia made me decide to simulate the last 2 stages. Why? Nothing much will happen in stage 6 and probably not in stage 7. So this way I can start the Vuelta sooner!
