Now CSC will face Ardennes classics starting with Amstel Gold Race.
The first of the Ardennes classics is here. In Netherlands CSC will line up their three strong riders for this kind of races. Valverde condition is a mystery while Franck Schleck and Kroon look good.
CSC Squad
- F. Schleck
- K. Kroon
- A. Valverde
- J. Voigt
- A. Schleck
- B. Julich
- N. Sorensen
- L. L. Sanchez
Main candidates
There are many candidates with the italian trio being the most dangerous and also some fast men that if they can hold to the end they might win.
- P. Bettini (Quick Step)
- D. Di Luca (Liquigas)
- D. Cunego (Lampre)
- S. Sanchez (Caisse D'Epargne)
- M. Celestino (Milram)
- K. Kirchen (T-Mobile)
- M. Boogerd (Quick Step)
- M. Perdiguero (Phonak)
- O. Freire (Rabobank)
- F. Pozzato (Gerolsteiner)
With 88 km to go Voigt went on the attack with Gilbert, and a Rabobank duo, Flecha and Contador joining him. Astarloza did the same later.
With 57 km to go Caisse D'Epargne and Liquigas were working hard to close the 2'15 gap to the 5 escapees.
On the peloton Bettini attacked. Voigt was now waiting for his leaders.
With 13 km to go the peloton with 40 riders was back together.
And the attacks formed a 7 men group at the front with CSC men, Kroon and F. Schleck, Di Luca, S. Sanchez, Cunego and Quick Step Boogerd and Bettini. They had 37 seconds to the peloton.
And the peloton caught them with 5 km to go. Valverde was on the peloton but he was now very tired.
CSC men were looking for the front of the race as the final sprint was being prepared.
Di Luca came very strong...
And he won it! Schleck was 7th, while Kroon was 9th and Valverde 20th.

Two top 10 was not exactly the result the team were looking for and Valverde condition also worried the team directors. His defense of the title in La Fleche Wallonne is now in steak, and the team is wondering to send Valverde to Italy in order to prepare for Liege-Bastogne-Liege, leaving the lead to Schleck and Kroon in Fleche Wallonne.
After a 7th and a 9th place in Amstel GR, CSC will try to improve in La Fleche Wallonne. While Valverde went to Italy to Giro del Trentino, Arvesen will take his place. The team will now work for Schleck and Kroon, with the same favorites then in AGR.
With 13 km to go Bettini attacked from the peloton. There was a break 1'10 ahead.
When Di Luca countered the BOD had already been caught. Bettini was now an intermediate position with Celestino, Mayo and Marzano.
With 3 km to go the peloton was giving everything to get them.
Kroon brought Schleck to the front trying to reach the front men.
They got them on the last 400 meters.
But Di Luca got enough advantage to win it!
Bettini was 2nd and Schleck lost the last podium place to Celestino. Kroon was 5th.

CSC did a good job today, placing 2 riders on the top 5 of such a race. Di Luca seems really, really strong. With Valverde building up for Liege in Italy, the team will want better on the last Ardennes classic.
Giro Del Trentino
Meanwhile in Italy, Basso was building to Giro and Valverde was trying to get some shape to Liege. A bad team time trial on the first day compromised the GC, then the two leaders improved and Basso won the last stage, finishing 5th overall while Valverde was 10th.
CSC is betting strong in LBL joining Basso and Valverde to the squad. Valverde fitness is still a mystery and the team might bet on the Schleck/Kroon duo again.
CSC Squad
- F. Schleck
- K. Kroon
- A. Valverde
- I. Basso
- L. L. Sanchez
- A. Schleck
- B. Julich
- N. Sorensen
Main Favorites
1 - D. Di Luca (Liquigas) - He is definitively the big favorite after winning AGR and Fleche. He is also the defending champion. His team is very strong and they'll be ready to lead him perfectly.
2 - P. Bettini (Quick Step) - His late attacks have granted him good classifications - 5th LBL, 2nd FW - but he needs to better his timings because he is the fastest among the favorites.
3 - D. Cunego (Lampre) - The third italian wants a win from this classics period and he has the quality to get it. After a 3rd place in Amstel he was only 8th in Fleche.
4 - F. Schleck (CSC) - He has shown good form last week but the presence of Alejandro and Ivan might work the opposite way he expects. Anyway his team is strong enough to support him if he feels he can win.
5 - S. Sanchez (Caisse D'Epargne) - 2nd place last year and 2nd place on AGR is enough to consider him a favorite. But his team is the factor that might really work for him if he's on a good day.
Other favorites: K. Kroon (CSC), M. Celestino (Milram), M. Boogerd (Quick Step), K. Kirchen (T-Mobile), B. Leukmans (Davitamon-Lotto), A. Vinokourov (Liberty).
Liquigas and Quickstep controlled the first 2/3 of the race but on the climb to La Redoute CSC increased the pace creating problems back there.
With 17 km to go Boogerd attacked as the peloton was shorter every km.
With 8 km to go Boogerd still had a slight advantage to a 25 men group where CSC had Schleck, Valverde, Kroon and Basso.
Inside the last 3 km Bettini attacked and Valverde and Cunego responded.
The three entered the last km with a slight advantage.
Di Luca started to sprint bringing Schleck, Kroon and Samuel Sanchez with him, but he looked much stronger.
The three CSC men were slower than the three italians with Bettini leading on the last turn.
And Bettini stole Di Luca the triplet on the Ardennes. Valverde, Schleck and Kroon were 4th, 5th and 6th.
Race Results
And the classics period is over. The win in Paris Roubaix was the highlight for CSC. On the Ardennes they were not just good enough against the italian oposition. If Valverde had better condition he might have discussed the win. In 2008 these classics will be much better prepared as the three strong riders have contract next year and the lessons learned are part of the team strategy.
With the Giro at the door the team will be lead by Basso on a final preparation. Winning in Switzerland might give him the extra morale that he needs.
We'll have a prologue, a sprint finish, a mountain stage, a mountain time trial and 2 hilly stages.

Sastre, Kloden, Nibali, Popovych and Zubeldia also did good time trials and they are all near Basso. Jaksche is the first leader and while Leipheimer lost 34 seconds, the german might be Gerolsteiner leader for this race.
On the second day in Romandie the peloton faced two climbs, a 4th category and a third category, but both far from the end so it was expected that the sprinters teams took care of the race. Petacchi and Allan Davis were clearly the favorite while Haussler was trying to shape up to the Giro and would try something today.
Peter Weening surprised everyone with an amazing attack after he was inside the break away, stilling the yellow jersey from Jaksche. Pettachi won the sprint among the peloton while Haussler couldn't make an impact today.

Tomorrow we'll see serious action with a very hard stage.
Today we will see who is here to win Tour de Romandie with a mountain stage that has 6 categorized climbs, 2 of them HC, a 1st category, two 2nd category and a third category. The Col de la Croix is just 21 km from the finish were we'll have a non categorized climb.
When the peloton started Col de la Croix climb Rabobank and Caisse D'Epargne were controlling things. An 8 men break had 2'40 on the 98 men peloton. Basso had 4 team mates.
With 9 km to the end of the climb Valjavec had finished his job and it was time to Basso impose his known rhythm. Only Beltran, Astarloza and Leipheimer remained ahead.
When Basso's rhythm was destroying the peloton and only Beltran remained ahead, Sastre attacked.
Sastre opened a 40 seconds gap to Basso who increased even more his pace. 5 men were on his tale, with the yellow jersey now far behind.
Basso decided to wait on the long descent and he was with Zubeldia, Mayo, Kloden, Jaksche and Pecharroman. Sastre had 52 seconds on them.
And Sastre was caught with 5 km to go. The final climb was about to start.
And the three favorites Basso, Sastre and Kloden couldn't follow the pace. They were paying for their earlier effort.
And Iban Mayo won the stage! Jaksche was second and recovered the yellow jersey.
Basso was 7th and lost time to the first 6.

Tomorrow's mountain time trial can put Basso back on the podium places, but it will hard to regain that 1'11. Jaksche won the prologue and today he showed himself very strong.
On a 25 km climbing time trial it is possible to create some gaps. Basso gave his best but again he was second. Haimar Zubeldia was better than CSC italian and he now leads the overall. Ivan managed to move 2 places up and he was now 5th, 54 seconds behind Zubeldia.
