Stage 2.
The stage started with a breakaway,16 riders,Mayoz(FOT) was there to try the KOM and he gets it,Zabriskie(GAR) is 2nd and Turgot(BBOX) 3rd.
These riders get caught before 1st int.sprint and when it comes is Henderson(SKY) who passes in 1st,Wrölich(MIL) is 2nd and Napolitano(KAT) 3rd.
At the 2nd KOM sprint,Fédrigo(BBOX) is 1st,Pasamontes(GCE)2nd and Aramendia(EUS) is 3rd.
Before big hill starts,Antón(EUS),Nocentini(ALM),Voeckler(BBOX),Irizar(SHAK),Fothen(MIL),Voigt(SAX) and De la Fuente(AST) attack...
..with all this dangerous riders in front,Footon and Sky start to chase them..
..at the front,Antón and Nocentini are loosing ground with E1...
..and Voigt is 1st at KOM sprint,Voeckler 2nd and Fuente 3rd,they get caught by peloton in time for bunch sprint..
..5km and our team is well posicioned,but without a big sprinter,it will be hard to win...
..Rojas(GCE) with an amazing sprint,no one can challenge that...
..and wins 2nd stage,Napolitano is 2nd and BenÃtez gets the 3rd place.

GC standing.

Stage 3.
I decide to wait for the hard part of the stage,meanwhile a E1 is formed with 10 riders..
..at the 1st int.sprint,Muravyev(SHAK)is 1st,Dupont(ALM) 2nd and Cummings(SKY) 3rd,at this point E1 has 5´20" gap over peloton..
1st KOM sprint,Fédrigo(BBOX) is 1st,Fothen(MIL) in 2nd and Muravyev(SHAK) 3rd..
..the small gap from Fédrigo stays and he´s 1st on 2nd KOM sprint,Fothen and Muravyev follow..
..last climb,Fothen gets Fédrigo and is 1st on top,Fédrigo 2nd and Dupont 3rd,behind L.L.Sánchez,Voeckler,Arrieta,Navarro and Capecchi attack..
..downhill,this group is after Fédrigo and fothen and will catch them....
..Sánchez attacks,no one can follow and gets small gap...
..on Capecchi group,these 3 riders attack downhill,i didn´t thought they would that and they build small gap,Sánchez is solo in front...
..and wins stage 3...

Stage 4.
1st Int.sprint,surprise,no one sprint,Mayoz(FOT) takes the chance and is 1st for the money.
1st KOM sprint,Gerdemann(MIL) and Fédrigo(BBOX) attack,Mayoz is 3rd..
These 2 guys will stay in front for a while,especially Fédrigo,today will have a great stage..
2nd KOM sprint,Fédrigo attack,Gerdemann only looks at him,Mancebo will be 3rd..
Situation at this point...
3rd KOM sprint,Fédrigo is 1st,Gerdemann 2nd andwith this attack,RodrÃguez(KAT) is 3rd,Mayoz was caught uphill..
In this climb,Caisse did a big damage on peloton,we still have 2 riders in this group...
Fédrigo still in front...
2nd and last Int.sprint,Fédrigo is 1st,Rojas sprint for 2nd and Galdos is 3rd..at 4th climb,Fédrigo is 1st,RodrÃguez 2nd and Valverde 3rd.
Amazing stage from Fédrigo,still in front on his way to last climb..
Last climb,BenÃtez is in this group,Capecchi comes behind,...
..on top of last climb,Fédrigo is catched and RodrÃguez,L.L.Sánchez and BenÃtez attack...
L.L.Sánchez goes alone downhill....
BenÃtez is behind,great stage from our Co-leader..
No surprise at all,Sánchez wins...
...and BenÃtez is 2nd,great..
..Voeckler is 3rd and Capecchi finishes in 8th place,very good too.

Stage 5 and last one in Mallorca.
Our objective for this last stage is to defend Capecchi´s 5th place,or achieve a better place.
Quickly we reach the 1st Int.sprint,some "minor" riders were first.
At the 1st KOM sprint Aerts(OMP) is 1st,Pate(GAR)2nd and Mayoz(FOT) 3rd.
E1 is formed with 12 riders,our Mayoz is there too and will try to get some KOM pts..
..wich he at the 2nd KOM sprint does well,no one give a fight,in the end i will know why....
..Time gap at this point..
3rd KOM sprint,Mayoz again 1st without effort......
4th KOM sprint,again Mayoz in 1st...
5th KOM sprint,Sánchez attacks and trys to catch E1,Capecchi,BenÃtez,Milán,all go after him...
..Sánchez manages to finish with E1,Ciolek(MIL),who was in this break,wins,Jorgensen(SAX) is 2nd and Sabido(RDM) is 3rd,our riders manage to build a small gap to peloton and we achieve even better results in Mallorca.

Final GC standing.

Next race will be Volta ao Algarve and we will have nice opponents there.

Nice story I'm very glad that sanchez won 2 stages but ithink that your team is also surprising. You will need t obring a strong team to your next race but hopefully you can pull something special off.
Could I see the stats of LL Sanchez?

This is already a well known race,we are confidents of a good result here,our sprinter,Portugal´s NC Cardoso wants to shine in his country,let´s hope for that.This is our team for Algarve:
1st stage.
Volta ao Algarve starts and it starts with a breakaway,10 riders,Vitoria is the chosen one for today...
1st Int.sprint-Iglinskiy(AST) is 1st,Hondo(LAM)2nd and Vitoria(FOT)3rd.
At the first KOM sprint,Da Pena(XAC) gets 5pts,Hermans(RSH) 2nd and Iglinskiy(AST) is 3rd..
After this small climb,Vitoria has no legs to stay on E1,two more riders stay with him in E2...
2nd Int.sprint,Da Pena is 1st,Scheirlinkx(OLO)2nd and Veikkanen(FDJ)is 3rd..
Last climb of the day,Da Pena again in 1st,Scheirlinckx is 2nd and Vicioso 3rd..
With 50kms to finish,Vitoria´s E2 is catched by peloton,E1 will be catched too before the final 5km...
..and we reach the 5km banner...
..sprint starts with Cardoso on Steegmans wheel,Hushovd,Boonen,Pozzato,all behind Cardoso...
...Hushovd is in front now,next is Boonen,Galdos,Renshaw,Pozzato,Hagen behind..
..and Hushovd wins 1st stage,Boonen is 2nd and Pozzato steals 3rd place from Cardoso,who finishes in 4th..not bad.
Stage result.
