On the final day in Catalunya, Haussler wanted to win after two second places. The profile was a bit hilly, but a sprint finish was expected.
After a great effort CSC managed to bring Haussler to the front.
But again the victory went to another rider: Ventoso.
Arroyo won Volta a Catalunya.

It wasn't today that Haussler got the first win. Basso continued his building towards Giro despite his results weren't what he expected.
On a Criterium International with no mountain stage, Zabriskie won the time trial while Julien Mazet won a stage on a break and the general classification.

The 3 days of De Panne served for some of the guys that will be on Ronde to shape up. Without Cancellara or O'Grady, Kroon lead the team with Michaelsen and Ljunqvist as lieutenants.
Stage 1
On the first day Kroon was really strong and left everybody behind to secure the win.

The team will now face Ronde Van Vlaanderen, one of the major season goals.
After the third place on Gent Wevelgem, CSC was playing a high card in Ronde.
Karsten Kroon reinforced the team as well as Breschel who was now recovered from his injury last month, and they will take the places of Blaudzun and Vandborg.
The competition was again very high. Boonen had shown himself very strong but not invincible last sunday. Hincapie did a superb race and a great final sprint finish. Flecha has one of the stronger teams in his support and he also shown great legs, while guys like Hoste, Klier, Franzoi or Nuyens would want to improve their places in Gent-Wevelgem. Last year 2nd was also a hot favorite, the italian Alessandro Ballan.
Race Report
With 75 km to go the alliance between CSC and Rabobank has completely broken the peloton. Hoste, Hincapie, Ballan, Backstedt and Klier are among the men who couldn't follow. They quickly were almost 2 minutes behind.
And with 64 km to go Boonen got himself a gap. They had to close it soon or it would be very dangerous.
CSC chase Boonen hard and only Flecha, Nuyens and Steegmans were able to follow them with 58 km to go.
With 45 km to go O'Grady and Cancellara had left all the chasers behind with Boonen 1'40 ahead of them.
Flecha joined them and when O'Grady was empty he left them behind. Cancellara spoke with O'Grady and then went chasing Flecha.
Amazing effort from Flecha who managed to get to Boonen. Cancellara has 1'15 to them now, with Portal and Franzoi between.
Flecha tried to drop Boonen after the last cobbled section bit the belgian champion resisted.
With no chance to get the two ahead Cancellara would have to fight for third place. Franzoi was with him and Hincapie was chasing not far behind.
As expected Boonen was stronger and won his third consecutive Ronde!!
Cancellara got the best of Franzoi and got the last podium place.
And O'Grady got 6th place.

Such a strong Boonen is almost unstoppable. The key moment for CSC today was when Cancellara let Flecha get away. Had he gone with him and he might have a chance to win. A podium place is still a good result. The team was strong and they are confident for Roubaix.

The team will keep prosecuting its goals in Spain, while in Belgian O'Grady will try to win the sprinters classic.
With Haussler and Breschel supporting O'Grady, CSC australian was one of the biggest favorites with last year winner Nazon being the guy with bigger odds to win the sprinters classic.
And the french actually was the best. O'Grady took 5th place with Haussler in 11th place. The team got some more racing fitness for Roubaix.

What races are you planning to play this season ?
This season i have played:
- Jacob's Creek Tour Down Under (played 5 out of 6)
- GP La Marsellaise
- Omloop Het Volk
- Paris-Nice (6/8)
- Tirreno Adriatico (3/7)
- Milano-San Remo
- Dwaars door Vlaanderen
- E3 Prijs Harelbeke
- Gent-Wevelgem
- Volta Catalunya (all 7)
- Ronde Van Vlaanderen
So until April 1st i played 28 stages. I will play every big classic, every GT stage with the exception of the flat ones when i cannot fight for the win, and on the 1 week tours i will play the ones i feel like
I usually get better results playing them then simulating, so on the stage races that i'm fighting for the GC i won't give AI the chance to ruin my work on one day.
Soon, the rest of Pais Vasco simulated then the report on Paris Roubaix!
On the fourth day the former CSC rider, Carlos Sastre was the strongest. Franck Schleck arrived on the third group with the GC leader Kirchen, 38 seconds behind the winner. He has moved up to 8th place overall.

Stage 6
The final 25 km time trial had two 4th category climbs on the way, so it would take both climbing and time trialing skills to win it. Zabriskie almost won it and only the young german Markus Fothen was better then him. Sastre was 4 seconds from winning Vuelta al Pais Vasco, while Schleck couldn't hold his position finishing in 9th place.

The team failed to win a stage on the Basque Country but the preparation for the Ardennes in no on a good level. Roubaix is now to come.
After what Boonen did in Ronde, today all the main teams will want to control him all the way. The question is, do they have the legs to go when he goes. Cancellara was 3rd in both Gent Wevelgem and RVV, and last year he was 2nd on Roubaix. He'll want to get his first win on a major cobble classic. O'Grady will try to help him the best he can, giving the swiss absolute leader role. The rest of the team should be in form to help Fabian most of the course.
Race Report
With 70 km to go CSC was controlling the race and no break resisted their pace.
With 52 kms to go the front group was small but all the favorites were there. Things started to warm up from here.
Many attacks at the front but O'Grady closed them all. He was the one doing the work for Cancellara now.
Hincapie made his move with Flecha responding and while Boonen stays, Cancellara decides to go as well.
Cancellara and Flecha were caught but Hincapie build a 30 second gap with 20 km to go.
Cancellara violently increases the pace but Boonen resist him. Hincapie was on sight.
After Hincapie get caught, Boonen attacked...
As they entered the last hard cobble sector Cancellara had reached Boonen but so did Klier.
As the other favorites reached them Cancellara accelerated...
With 7 km of clear road ahead Cancellara had 15 seconds to Boonen and 24 seconds to an eleven men group. Would he hold?
Cancellara was the first to enter the Velodrome with a slight advantage to Boonen.
And he has done it! Boonen almost got him but Spartacus won Paris Roubaix!!!
Klier won the sprint for third while O'Grady was 9th.
