CSC 2007 | The end of a nice journey!

Basso did well to get on the podium in Romandie Smile
 
Ian Butler
A third place for Basso was pretty good, moving up every other stage!

Rund um den Henninger Turm Frankfurt


Haussler lead CSC in Germany for this last race before Giro. He had the support of Breschel, Andreassen, Piil, Andy Schleck and Klostergaard.

The race had some climbing before it gets flat and what might hurt the sprinters to get there in proper conditions. Many attacks were expected.

Amazing work shared by Liquigas and CSC and with 4 km to go the break finally was at reach. Only 53 men hold on the peloton.

Andreassen launched the sprint with Di Luca between CSC men.

And incredibly Di Luca won! Gasparotto was 2nd so it's a 1-2 to Liquigas. Haussler took the last podium place.

Di Luca brought the Ardennes form to Germany and Liquigas set a really hard pace breaking the peloton on the climbs. 8 italians on the top 10 is really amazing. Haussler continues close to a win but he didn't got it today.

Now all the attention will be focused on Giro D'Italia.

Giro D'Italia Preview


After last year Julich lead the team in Italy and finished 10th, this year Giro is a main goal to the team captain Basso. He'll have full support from CSC while Haussler will be the team sprinter. After a very good start Andreassen will race his first Grand Tour. The team rookie is surprising everyone with his consistency and has been of great use for his team.

CSC Squad

- I. Basso
- B. Julich
- T. Valjavec
- A. Schleck
- H. Haussler
- H. Andreassen
- M. Pedersen
- J. Piil
- M. Blaudzun

GC Contenders

Again a very strong startlist. Some of them will be here to gain racing days while others will discuss the overall win.

- L. Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner) - The defending champion aims to win two consecutive Giro D'Italia what only 8 riders have made, the last one was Indurain in 1992/93. Jaksche who recently did a very good Tour de Romandie will be his lieutenant.

- Rabobank - The dutch team brings its 4 best climbers with Landis, Menchov, Contador and Mauricio Ardila. It's hard to know who is going to be the leader but they can control the mountains with these guys.

- J. Ullrich (T-Mobile) - After last year his presence in Giro was almost unnoticed (22nd) he felt on the Tour and was forced to abandon. With no results this year it's hard to know what to expect from Big Ulle. Oscar Sevilla will be there to help him.

- D. Cunego (Lampre) - He won Tirreno Adriatico but he missed his goals on the classics. A very strong rider, racing at home and that was 4th on last year Vuelta. Patxi Vila will be his wing man.

- H. Zubeldia (Euskaltel) - He has just won Tour de Romandie what proves how good he is and the form he brings to Giro. Last year he was 9th and 10th in Vuelta.

- C. Evans (Davitamon Lotto) - He is one of the strongest riders in the world, but his lack of race days might make him lose time on the early days. Anyway he is expected to make some good results and he will count on Moncoutié to get to the front.

- F. Mancebo (AG2R) - The spanish was 8th last year and then 6th on the Vuelta and he is one of those riders that might win if he finds himself in good position on the overall. Gadret will be there for him.

- A. Kashechkin (Liberty) - It's time to the kazakh leave Vinokourov shadow and affirm himself as a true leader and a GC rider. With Scarponi on the start list, Liberty has 2 good options for the GC.

- I. Parra Pinto (Cofidis) - The colombian is a huge climber but that still hasn't got the results that he seems capable to get. 2 stages and a 20th place in 2005 was is best performance in Giro. Caucchioli will support him or he might even be the leader if the colombian is not on his best.

The italians Cioni (Quickstep). Simoni and Piepoli (Saunier Duval) and Garzelli (Liquigas) will lead their teams and might also have something to say.

Sprinters Competition

- R. McEwen (Davitamon Lotto) - The australian won 7 stages last year and he is the main candidate to win the flat stages. Henk Vogels will be his launcher.

- A. Pettachi (Milram) - The italian is the biggest threat to McEwen but he is still looking for his first win this year. Siedler is his launcher.

- T. Hushovd (Liberty) - Among the sprinters he is the one who better hold on the climbs and that might work for him. He'll have to get on others wheel as he is the only sprinter the team brought to Italy.

- D. Hondo (Gerolsteiner) - The german sprinter wants to have an impact after his suspension and this is his first opportunity. Pollack is a very strong sprinter that he will have the chance to have with him.

- M. Van Heeswijk (Comunidad Valenciana) - The dutch veteran accepted to race on the spanish team but he will need a ride to discuss the stages.

- R. Bongiurno (Ceramica Panaria) - The argentinian sprinter will have the local team support with a strong train with Grillo, Richeze and Aitor Galdos.

- J. Casper (Cofidis) - The french sprinter made 4 podiums last year and this year he wants to reach higher. Another one that needs a ride to get to the front.

- A. Curtolo (Liquigas) - The most promising italian sprinter will sprint with Gasparotto, his team mate who just made 2nd in Germany.

Paolo Bettini, not being a pure sprinter might discuss all the hilly stages and even those with a flat finish but with many difficulties on the way.

Youth Competition Contenders

- A. Contador (Rabobank)
- D. Pozzovivo (Saunier Duval)
- J. Van den Broeck (Discovery)
- A. Schleck (CSC)
- L. Gerdemann (T-Mobile)

We have all the ingredients for a spectacular Grand Tour. CSC bets everything on Basso and he is considered the major candidate to win this year Giro.

Giro D'Italia Stage 1


A 8.7 km time trial to start this year Giro and to find the first owner of the maglia rosa. It was also a day to see if some of the big names present are here to discuss the final victory or not.

Ivan Parra Pinto, the colombian from Cofidis is betting hard on this Giro and he did a super time trial winning the maglia rosa. Basso was 2nd and matched the expectations. Contador was third and for now he seems to be the leader of the Rabobank super team. Ullrich was 15th when he was considered a favorite to win here. Not as bad as last year but still his condition is not too obvious.

Leipheimer lost 21 seconds, Evans 22 and Zubeldia 23, what we might say that are the big disappointments of the day.

Giro D'Italia Stage 2


Stage 2 had a 4th category climb 30 km from the finish but it was expected a mass sprint finish.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%202/profile_zps7804a0a8.jpg

Le Mével won the mountain sprint as the 13 men BOD had 3'12 to the peloton.

On the descent the attacks increased the gap to 4 minutes and despite CSC work it doesn't fall.

And the break go to the finish with Rebellin winning the sprint.

On the peloton sprint Haussler was 6th. Only 67 men arrived with the peloton and many lost time including Leipheimer, Ullrich, Evans and Pereiro.

The stage was much harder then expected. Such a big group of riders escaped made that no one worked back there except CSC. Not many sprinters managed to get to the front but more surprising 4 GC contenders are now far from the first. No big problems for Basso with this results.

If today we had a flat stage and this happened, tomorrow on the first hilly we should see much worse.

Meanwhile in 4 Jours de Dunquerque, Breschel fell again and broke his hand. Very bad luck for the young danish with his 2nd complicated injury this year. He'll be out for 2 months. Michaelsen won stage 2 and with just 1 stage to the end he leads the overall.

With 1 km to the end of the climb and the gap to the 2 escapees increasing Basso decided to also attack.

Cunego was very strong today and the major contenders are now on the top places of the classification. Basso needs to recover almost two minutes to Cunego and we should expect an intense battle on the next weeks.

Meanwhile Michaelsen won the 4 Jours de Dunkerque. On his last season this is a great prize for him. Ljunqvist was 9th overall and the team dedicated the win to Breschel.

Giro D'Italia Stages 4 & 5


Stage 4

On today's stage we had the first half with a hard 2nd category climb and on the second part a circuit with 4 passages through a 4th category climb. The finish is downhill and a fast guy like Bettini should win it. Still Basso and the overall guys needed to be aware for not to lose time.

The final climb was made on an amazing speed and the peloton was now preparing the mass sprint.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%204/PCM000254_zps546ce620.jpg

The sprint was launched by Kashechkin with Bettini behind him well placed and CSC men Basso, Haussler and Andreassen on his right.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%204/PCM000355_zps7c318bd2.jpg

Bettini was clearly the strongest!

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%204/PCM000455_zpsd3213240.jpg

CSC got 5th, 7th and 8th.

No time lost for Basso and a 5th place for Haussler. He was close to discuss the win but many fast guys were also interested.

Stage 5

The fifth stage was a 23.2 kms team time trial. Without the best time trialist in the squad (Cancellara and Zabriskie) it was a a big doubt what CSC could perform today.

Third place and just 2 seconds lost to Discovery Channel was a good result. The distance to Cunego was diminished to 1'06 while Popovych is the new GC leader. Basso moved up to third place and things are looking better after today's stage.

Giro D'Italia Stage 6


On the 6th day of the Giro the big question was if the sprinters like McEwen and Petacchi (who yesterday made a 9th place) would finally show up and win something.

With five 4th category climbs, the last one 50 km from the finish and a slight inclination near the finish, Bettini would for sure have a chance again.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%206/profile_zps11267743.jpg

And with 16 km to go the peloton was compact. The BOD had about a minute but the sprinters teams were chasing hard.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%206/PCM000255_zps0879a2ed.jpg

The rhythm got so high that only 89 men were on the peloton when they entered the last 5 km.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%206/PCM000356_zps117e664f.jpg

Petacchi was the first to launch the sprint with Hushovd, Betini and others behind. McEwen was paying the effort to keep on the group and was out of the win dispute.

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%206/PCM000456_zpsc1628a7c.jpg

Bettini reached Petacchi with 500 meters to go with Hushovd on their tale. It was going to be between them.

And Bettini got his second win!

i1151.photobucket.com/albums/o621/kimiopn/CSC%202007/Giro/Stage%206/PCM000652_zps87d93ca1.jpg

Haussler was the best CSC men in 14th. Cunego with a very strong finish was 5th.

Bettini to strong to his opponents while CSC contributed to harden the race and then tried something with Haussler, with no results. Pedersen continues not holding the pace in order to help the team main sprinter, but also McEwen couldn't do anything today.

Tomorrow we'll have a very hard hilly stage and Basso needs to keep his eyes open because for sure Cunego will try to get more time.

Giro D'Italia Stage 7


The 152 km of hilly road with 8 mountain sprints, two of them 2nd category and a 3rd category just 8 km to the finish might benefit Cunego or Bettini who had won 2 stages before. CSC and Discovery didn't want that to happen so they would have to help their leaders anyway they could.

The first half of the race was marked by a cut on the peloton with Cunego, Contador with some team mates on a total of 35 men who created an increasing gap that got on the 5 minutes to the peloton. Discovery and CSC had to work a lot to close it.

They finally regroup with them and only 44 men resisted with 5 men still escaped, the first one, Gomez Marchante with 2'41 on the peloton.

On the final climb attacks started. Landis, Scarponi, Cunego and Menchov!

Valjavec and Julich with the help of Discovery brought them back.

Basso didn't wanted to take any more risks so he went to the front setting his deadly pace. But Landis, Moncoutié and Gadret responded attacking.

At the end of the climb Basso managed to get clear towards the final descent but with 3 men still ahead of him and many attacks back there.

Interview with Ivan Basso


Reporter - Ivan, tells us about today's stage.

Ivan Basso - Well, it was a hard working day but at the end we managed to don't lose time to any favorites.

R - That cut on the peloton was something most people wasn't expecting?

IB - Yes, in deed. When Rabobank went to the front of the peloton so far from the finish nobody was expecting they would put such a high pressure on everybody. Then the wind helped and suddenly they were over 5 minutes ahead.

R - With maglia rosa on your side, Discovery's help was fundamental to bring them back?

IB - Yes, we had to work a lot together. Everybody even the sprinters Haussler and Pedersen did a great job. But it is true that if we had do it by ourselves it would be impossible.

R - Then the final climb came and you decided to get to the front. Why was that?

IB - When the young men Andreassen and Schleck got their work done, the possibility of a dangerous attack was a certain one. Teddy and Bobby close the first one but i couldn't risk it any more so i decided to get to the front.

R - What to expect from Basso and who are your main rivals on this Giro?

IB - Well, i think the first week was positive. Being in third place with one minute to both Popovych and Cunego is not ideal but it is recoverable. These two are major rivals, but there are more like Contador and Menchov, Kashechkin or Parra Pinto. And then there are a large number of strong riders who can surprise.

R - Final question: what do you have to say about Ullrich who lost over 20 minutes today?

IB - Jan is a great cyclist who has been unlucky the late year. He was coming strong last Tour when he abandoned. I just hope he can come back to his great times and i'm sure he will.

R - Thank you, Ivan.
 
Ian Butler
He's in a tough spot, though. Cunego and Popovych head to head, so maybe he can profit from that Wink

It's nice to have other teams working and Discovery Channel is really really strong. They have Savoldelli, Pereiro, Van den Broeck (world champion Smile ), José Azevedo (on the top 3 of portuguese cyclists ever) and Martinez de Esteban.

But Basso will show what he is made of when the mountains come!
