FINAL POINTS:

FINAL MOUNTAIN:
Spoiler 1 | Steven Van Vooren | Accent Jobs - Willems Veranda's | 28 | 2 | Blel Kadri | FDJ - BigMat | 20 | 3 | Mikaël Chérel | HIG | 20 | 4 | Jarosław Marycz | TEAM Dexia - Telenor | 16 | 5 | Nicolas Edet | Bretagne - Schuller | 14 |
The teams first incursion into this race was a good one, mainly thanks to Feillu, who showed excellent form, winning the short TT stage and taking home the points jersey. Roche shows well for the first time, before the Giro.
Episode 3:
Well I couldn't fulfil my personal goals but I was really lifted by the performance by Romain. He rode out of his skin to win the TT, but even so was still disappointed because he wanted to wear the yellow jersey here, what a character. That was a strange TT it looks like the sprinters really went for it, anyway I was really glad to have completed this race and I am looking forward to the next one. Hopefully it is the stage race in the Sarth department, so I will can get some more races in France under my belt.
Thanks for reading, Roger!

This is the big warm up race for the April classics. Containing two flat stages sandwiched in between a classics type first stage and a final stage TT.
STAGE 1: Middelkerke - Oudenaade 198 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Boassen Hagen(RAB) **Cavendish(YTE) *Lander(AGS)
In picture, two riders behind world champ Boassen Hagen is Salomein. Riding for Kenda he leads the continental rankings, hence the white jersey, he has done brilliantly in the cobbled races he has taken part in and is my favourite out of the other riders for success here.
A 13 man break got away including Pozzato (who would lead the KOM jersey) and van Lerberghe.
The break appeared to be in control with 30 kilometres to go.
However, with 8 kilometres to go van Lerberghe still has over 1:00 to the peloton as the final hills and cobbles are dealt with. Youtube and Rabobank domestiques are weakening so Salomein attacks, Boom, Boassen Hagen and Polazzi counter immediately. Cavendish and Gallopin a bit off.
It is an epic struggle between Salomein and Boassen Hagen, the world champ just prevailing. Gallopin finishes strongly and is fortunate to get the same time as the stage winner. The race really broken up today, favourite Lander lost an absolute packet.

STAGE 2: Zottegem - Sint Idesbald 165 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Cavendish(YTE) **Boassen Hagen(RAB) *Swift(RAB)
A 12 man break made it away today the best placed were at 5:10 down on GC.
Despite a bit off an effort from Youtube, Rabobank were content with no stage victory, so the break had 7:00 with 50 kilometres remaining. The break would fight out the win , but would Rabobank control the leaders jersey?
Grabowksi, the young Polish cobbler, takes a massive win for wildcard team Jardar. the gap back to the peloton is 4'41, Boassen Hagen will just retain his jersey. Today was a day where we should have gone into the break, seems the team need an education is becoming more aggressive early on.

STAGE 3: De Panne - De Panne 99 KM's
On the final road stage the favourites were the same.
After a talking to about race tactics we got a man in the break it was the Uruguayan Franco Castro. The best placed in the nine man break were at 4:25 down. The chances of the break succeeding looked good with 40 kilometres to go with the gap over 5:00.
However, as Stannard and Hansen attacked out of the bunch with 28 kilometres to go the break's advantage was just over 2:00 as Rabobank would increase the pace. Rabobank were keen to push on the pace as amazingly Cavendish was dropped with 30 kilometres to go in a group of 34.
More attacks came out of the peloton, next to attack would be Montfort.
Then with under 12 kilometres to go, Fairly, Slik and our man Felline attack and joining up with the break.
The break have a descent advantage coming into the sprint, Castro is on the front trying to set up Felline....
Felline couldn't recover in time. The surprise winner came in the form of Stetina, the break just being caught by Boassen Hagen at the finish. A very productive stage for the team camera wise, if not getting onto the days podium.

STAGE 4: Korksijde - De Panne 9 KM's
Stage Favourites:
***Phinney(AES)**Salomein(KDA) *Boom(EML)
Could Salomein dethrone Boassen Hagen on the final stage TT, realistically we couldn't get onto the podium, but a top 10 would be good.
The real stage contenders were unleashed towards the end of the stage. Phinney must have thought he would win when he clocked a time of 11'12, 27 seconds faster than Slik....
However, Salomein was still to come. Salomein was one second faster than Phinney at the first checkpoint and .... three seconds faster at the finish. Boassen Hagen...would finish fourth but was not in the same league as the other two.
Salomein wins the four days of de Panne with an impressive display, showing once again why he is dominating the continental rankings. Gallopin didn't have a great TT but holds on for a top 10 place, a real form booster ahead of his big target Paris Roubaix.

On the last day of March I received some huge news .... Qatar Optics will be riding the 2019 Giro! Our request was accepted, of course we expected the invite but to actually be confirmed as a team in the race is huge. This really is another monumental step for the team and Qatar.

End of March:
CQ rankings for continental teams:
Ranking | Team | Points | 3 | Qatar Optics | 1445 | 12 | Kenda | 1004 | 13 | Accumalux | 976 | 14 | Accent Jobs | 963 | 17 | O2 | 799 |
It shouldn't be much of surprise to see us as the best placed continental team in the CQ rankings, so far the only real competition comes in the form of Kenda. It seems promotion will be more easily attainable this year, the same time last year both FDJ and Farnese Vini had over 1600 CQ points.
@ Sutty - Yeah, everyone is in great form now though!
@ Ian Butler - American dress doesn't = an American....always.

Here it is the tour of Flanders. A top 5 here was one of three main goals of our sponsors.
Race: Brugge - Oudenaarde 254 KM's
Race Favourites:
***Lander(AGS) **Puccio(AGS) *Boom(EML)
The two time winner of Paris Roubaix, Lander, has been made the favourite but there are 4/5 riders at least who could claim victory, our best shot is Gallopin, can he show well? Perhaps Felline may do well, but he hasn't been the same on the cobbles since his top 10 here 4 years ago.
Many riders tried to get into the early break, which is huge for sponsor exposure in a massive race such as Flanders. With about 80 kilometres in we have Bakelants in the 9 man break, the break have around 2:20 with 133 kilometres to go when....
domestiques from KLM and Arashiro (Exxon) really up the pace. The break is caught with 130 kilometres to go and at the head of the race only a 33 man group remains, the race already shattered. Phinney is the first big name to suffer, Felline is nowhere to be seen. Gazprom and Argos add their weight to the front of the race.
We have Neirynck, Castro, Gallopin and Bakelants in the front group, our big guns Neirynck and Gallopin really felling great.
As Neirynck is dropped with 75 kilometres to go a group of 17 big favourites are at the front, many of the big favourites take turns on the front.
From here on in it is a war of attrition. Duval and Trentin are dropped with 40 kilometres to go and we have 15 riders left in contention, Gallopin feeling great as the hills are negotiated.
Inside the last 20 kilometres. The tension is palpable as the big favourites watch each other, we are now down to 13 riders...when.... Ghyselinck attacks! He quickly gains '30 seconds then with 11 kilometres to go world champ Boasson Hagen joins him.
For a moment Boom and Maes and Lander and Puccio look each other, will the chase be taken up.......?
Yes it is, Boom drags everyone across to the two men. Then with under 5 kilometres to go Lander attacks.... everyone looks to Ghyselinck to take up the chase, he rides strongly while Lander is hanging out front. Then Puccio, Lander's teammate' attacks... we are into the sprint.
Boasson Hagen launches his sprint with Gallopin in the wheel, has he and our Frenchman left it too late.......?
Sadly yes. Lander wins the tour of Flanders! Gallopin gets outsprinted by Boasson Hagen who manages to pass Puccio for second, but still he manages the coveted top5 placing. What a race! Gallopin showed really well here, will he maintain his great form for his big target Paris Roubaix? Let us hope so, if so he has a great chance for victory.

Race: Compiegne - Roubaix 258 KM's
Race Favourites:
***Puccio(AGS) **Boom(EML) *Maes(EML)
Overall the same riders are here as were present at Flanders, the racing is surely to be competitive, can Lander win three Paris Roubaix on the bounce?
Early on the race provided the opportunity for the smaller teams such as Milka to get into the break. A large break looked to be establishing with 170 kilometres to go, but as the first cobbled section was reached Drucker(Exxon) set a furious pace and the peloton was at the head of the race.
With 160 kilometres to go we animate the race with Castro, who is having a brilliant start to his classics career. He, Van Zandbeek and Van Avermaet attack and quickly gain 1:00.
But with 150 kilometres to go, the rain starts, on the umpteenth section of cobbles, Offredo (Dyson) ups the pace and a 14 man group join up with the three men. Crucially there is no Boom, Puccio, Lander or Ghyselinck.
However, with 120 kilometres to go all the favourites are together in a 30 man group exactly, except for Neirynck and Ghyselink who showed so well at Flanders.
With 105 kilometres to go Castro punctures, but courageously hands over a water bottle to Gallopin before falling back. The big favourites weren't afraid to ride on the front from way out, Puccio was riding on the front with exactly 100 kilometres to go.
With 83 kilometres to go the peloton, now 24 riders passes through the mythical forest of Arenburg being lead by Berkhout.
Gradually more and more riders would lose contact, Stannard, Cancellara then Duval all lose contact.
With 18 kilometres to go, nine riders remain when world champ Boasson Hagen attacks. Gallopin ..... has nothing left to respond to this attack.
With under 10 kilometres to go, Flanders winner Lander attacks, Boom is straight on the wheel as is Maes and the world champ.
Only a handful of kilometres remain, we come into the Roubaix stadium when..... Lander attacks....... but Maes counters and.......
will power along and maintain a gap for the win, the biggest in his career in front of a sell out velodrome. Maes wins Paris Roubaix! Gallopin finishes an exceptional classics campaign with another top 10. The race was really 'hell of the north' not even 50 riders managed to finish, real hell.

Qatar Optics wins in Koln! Thanks to a really impressive one man gang job from Yildiz, for his fourth win of the season. Arni tells me he was the only man in the lead 100 man group from our team with 20 kilometres to go, but using his race brain was able to get into a great position and sprint for the win. Real Impressive stuff.

@ Daggen - Well I'm sure glad we've found your brother, now we just have to catch him!
@ Ian Butler- Yep, Flanders was his big chance looking back though.
@ Sutty -Thanks, there were a lot of 'abominations' at Roubaix. GIMP 2 FTW! |
