15/9-22/9 2014 Tour of Britain (cat 2.1)
22/9 Stage 8: London – London 88.6 km
Christina: The caravan has traveled 50 km northeast from Guildford to London, for the final stage of the tour.
There is evidence of early Bronze Age on the south bank of Thames, but it seems that a major London settlement was first created by the romans in the first century AD.
A Roman mosaic floor from Londinium (British Museum)
Pre-race strategy: Priority is to get Schumacher safely over the line.
With a short stage of only 88 km, the pace is very high, right from the start. The peloton does everything to keep things together. But eventually 8 riders get away.
The pace continues to be high all day, very hard for many riders. The breakaway is strong and able to keep the peloton away, holding on to a 2 minutes lead. Getting within the last 10-12 km, Leonardo Duque (Colombia) attacks from the breakaway, while the peloton is now getting closer.
But the peloton never gets close enough, and the first 3 over the line is all from the break, Leonardo Duque wins the stage over Aurélien Passeron (Cofidis). We do our best to set up a sprint train, but our riders are all tired after a hard tour and we never gets close enough to the front. Our best is Francisco José Pacheco (13).
Christina: Never mind this stage, we took the GC, the KoM and the Team classification, All management and the sponsors will be very pleased.

| 1 | Leonardo Duque | Colombia | 1h49'55 | | 2 | Aurélien Passeron | Cofidis, Solutions Crédits | s.t. | | 3 | Diego Ochoa | 4-72 Colombia | s.t. | | 4 | Andrew Fenn | Sojasun | s.t. | | 5 | Robert Partridge | Team UK Youth | s.t. | | 6 | Christian Müller | Thüringer Energie Team | s.t. | | 7 | Michael Cuming | Rapha Condor - JLT | s.t. | | 8 | Cesare Benedetti | Team NetApp - Endura | s.t. | | 9 | Luke Rowe | Vodafone | s.t. | | 10 | Ryan Anderson | Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies | s.t. |

A perfect finish of the season, to get the sponsors to dig in their pockets. Just two unimportant races left.

6/10 Tour de Vendée (cat 1.HC)
La Ferrière - La Roche-sur-Yon 198.6 km
Rasmussen: Just last night Stefan Schumacher was reported sick, and we won’t us him in the race, not to put any additional street on his illness. Mitchell Lovelock-Fay is chosen to stand in, and becomes our leader.
The race is a single stage race in Vendée department in the Pays de la Loire region in western France. In the department many evidences of Stone Age settlements have been found, later the Celtic Pictones tribe settled the area. The Celtics created many towns in the department until the Roman conquest.
La Ferrière church:
Roster:
Anton Grøn
Daniele Aldegheri
Marc Hester
Mitchell Lovelock-Fay
Morten Høberg
Philip Nielsen
Simon Bigum
Sondre Holst Enger
Pre-race strategy: We are not quite sure how the race will evolve, but our expectations are that it will be a sprint finish, hoping for Sondre Holst Enger.
A morning break of 3 riders gets away, not any very strong riders.
On the first hills, Mitchell Lovelock-Fay attacks and gets in contact with the front group with about 150 left.
But the group is not strong enough to keep a fast peloton away; they are caught with about 20 km left. We set a sprint train for Holst Enger.
But our train is not strong enough to get up front, the stage is won by Michael Matthews in a mass sprint. Our best was Sondre Holst Enger.
Result:
| 1 | Michael Matthews | Garmin - Sharp | 4h24'47 | | 2 | Roberto Ferrari | Vodafone | s.t. | | 3 | Romain Feillu | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 4 | Yannick Martinez | La Pomme Marseille | s.t. | | 5 | Justin Jules | La Pomme Marseille | s.t. | | 6 | Kris Boeckmans | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 7 | Daryl Impey | Vodafone | s.t. | | 8 | Francesco Chicchi | Bardiani Valvole - CSF Inox | s.t. | | 9 | Jacopo Guarnieri | Astana Pro Team | s.t. | | 10 | Luka Mezgec | Team Argos - Shimano | s.t. | | 11 | Jonas Vangenechten | Lotto Belisol | s.t. | | 12 | Benoit Jarrier | Bretagne - Séché Environnement | s.t. | | 13 | Sondre Holst Enger | Christina Watches - Onfone | s.t. | | 14 | Evaldas Siskevicius | Sojasun | s.t. | | 15 | Enrique Sanz | Movistar Team | s.t. | | 16 | Samuel Dumoulin | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 17 | Stéphane Poulhiès | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. | | 18 | Arman Kamyshev | Astana Pro Team | s.t. | | 19 | Borut Božic | Astana Pro Team | s.t. | | 20 | Philip Nielsen | Christina Watches - Onfone | s.t. |

21/10 Japan Cup (cat 1.HC)
Utsunomiya City 184.4 km
Rasmussen: We are here in Utsunomiya for the Japan Cup, our last race of the season. Utsunomiya is a city of about 500.000 125 km north of Tokyo. The area has been continuously settled since at least 14.000 BC, The city developed around a Shinto shrine Futarayama-jinja, said to be founded in 353 AD.

Roster:
Angelo Furlan
Daniele Aldegheri
Frederik Wilmann
Marc Hester
Philip Nielsen
Simon Bigum
Sondre Holst Enger
Stefan Schumacher
Pre-race strategy: We hope for Stefan Schumacher to compete in this race, he is no longer sick.
An early break of 5 riders gets a gap of about 5 minutes.
It is hard to get water bottles forward on the constant ups and downs. Philip Nielsen getting water for the team:
Within the last 30 km the peloton speeds up at close the gap to the front group, the hard pace forces the weaker riders the fall out of the bunch.
After the break is caught, a new more serious attack by Wilco Kelderman (Belkin Pro Cycling Team) and Igor Antón (Liberty Seguros – Würth) 15 km to the line. Stefan Schumacher manages to stay with a 2nd group of 11 riders.
The race is won by Igor Antón (Liberty Seguros) over Wilco Kelderman (Belkin), Schumacher gets in as 8th, in the same time as the winner.
Rasmussen: Another fine race from Schumacher.
Result:
| 1 | Igor Antón | Liberty Seguros - Würth | 5h13'06 | | 2 | Wilco Kelderman | Belkin Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 3 | Franco Pellizotti | Androni Giocattoli - Venezuela | s.t. | | 4 | Ion Izagirre | Liberty Seguros - Würth | s.t. | | 5 | Miguel Rubiano | Androni Giocattoli - Venezuela | s.t. | | 6 | Lars Petter Nordhaug | Belkin Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 7 | Marco Marcato | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 8 | Stefan Schumacher | Christina Watches - Onfone | s.t. | | 9 | Sébastien Reichenbach | IAM Cycling | s.t. | | 10 | Bartosz Huzarski | Team NetApp - Endura | s.t. | | 11 | André Cardoso | Caja Rural - Seguros RGA | s.t. | | 12 | Kanstantsin Siutsou | Vodafone | s.t. | | 13 | Fabio Aru | Astana Pro Team | + 1'41 | | 14 | Janier Acevedo | Jamis - Hagens Berman | + 2'13 | | 15 | Tom Slagter | Belkin Pro Cycling Team | + 2'34 | | 16 | Fabio Taborre | Vini Fantini - Selle Italia | s.t. | | 17 | Julian Arredondo | Team Nippo - De Rosa | s.t. | | 18 | Wout Poels | Belkin Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 19 | Riccardo Chiarini | Androni Giocattoli - Venezuela | s.t. | | 20 | Sondre Holst Enger | Christina Watches - Onfone | s.t. |
