@all thanks for the support!

Stage 5

Stage 5 is another decisive day in the hills of Argentina. We will try to keep the leader jersey, which will be though, because Gert Steegmans is not the best puncheur in the starting field, but he showed he is a lot better than expected by finishing second in El Trapiche. Can he repeat that success?

With 17KM to go, Yury Trofimov was riding solo, almost four minutes ahead of the pack.

A minute behind him, Dominik Nerz was chasing him.

Two minutes behind Nerz, there was a small chasing group, including Germans Paul Voss and Danilo Hondo.

With 4KM to go, while the chasing group with Hondo and Voss was caught, and Trofimov still had a 2minute gap on the pack, a small group attacked, including favourites Niemec, Moreno, Hoogerland and leader of the U25 classification, Kristjan Koren.

After that group created a gap of 1'30 on the pack, Xavier Florencio decided to attack, and leader Gert Steegmans countered.

Meanwhile, while everyone was focusing on the battle for 2nd position, Yury Trofimov finished. Congratulations to team Katusha!
In the background, we see Daniel Moreno leading the sprint for second position...

But Hoogerland just had a little more energy left, and overtook him in the last metres.

Race leader Gert Steegmans finishes in 7th position, in the wheel of his main rival, Xavier Florencio. A great performance by him, which means Gert Steegmans has now finished in the top 10 every single stage here, except form the first stage, where he became 11th.

And we should not forget Dominik Nerz, who has been in front all day, and finishes in front of the peloton, in 10th position.

Stage 6

Stage 6 is the only real mountain stage in the Tour de San Luis, with percentages of over 12%. We doubt if Gert Steegmans can keep the leader jersey, luckily, Johnny Hoogerland, who likes hills and mountains, is in second position.

Dominik Nerz was in today's break, also including Itera - Katusha's Voroybev as best rider, in 40th GC position, but position 11
in the U25 rankings. Nerz won the first KoM sprint, but it was not enough for the jersey, which is almost secured for Johnny Hoogerland.

Both intermediate sprints were just for the rider in front of the breakaway, no spectacle there.

The breakaway was caught, and with 21 kilometres to go, there was a big split, which created a 20-man leading group, including all favourites and our Rob Ruijgh and Dominik Nerz.

17 KM before the finish line, Katusha's GC number 3, Daniel Moreno attacked. There were a lot of counter attacks...

But only Lampre's Przemyslaw Niemec and Johnny Hoogerland could succesfully follow Moreno, who created a small gap.

Johnny really pushed hard, but with 5KM to go, the gap with Moreno was still not closed.

And then, with 3.5KM to go, the 3 riders reunited. but Hoogerland was really tired.

But it is Spaniard Daniel Moreno who wins today. More exciting now is the battle for 2nd place,

Which is easily won by Johnny Hoogerland. Yet another good performance by him! In the background, Liquigas' U25 leader Kristjan Koren, who is ridig the race of his life, with another top 5 finish.

Race leader Gert Steegmans finishes in 6th position today. He definitely loses his jersey there, but still a solid performance by the sprinter!

Guys, after a short break, I decided to continue this story!
However, I will write small reports, with one picture per stage for stage races and maybe 3 pictures for a classic. What do you guys think?

Stage 7

This stage seems like one for the sprinters, but it also is an opportunity for a breakaway. Let's see...

And it's Gert Steegmans who wins the sprint in the peloton, followed by Johnny Hoogerland, who surprisingly managed to stay in Gert's wheel for the whole sprint! What a great 1-2 for the team. But it's even better: we also win the GC, Points, KoM and Team classification!

GP d'Ouverture La Marseillaise

This race is very unpredictable. Sometimes the climbers win, sometimes the punchers win and sometimes the sprinters win. This is our squad for the race:

With 3KM to go, only Gautier and Minard were not caught yet, and it seemed like one of them was going to win. Minard decided to start sprinting a long way before the finish, while Gautier tried to stay in his wheel.

With 1KM to go, Gautier decided to jump out of Minard's wheel, and overtook him easily.

And yes, it was Gautier who won today's race! But that wasn't all: in the peloton, our riders decided to practice their sprint train, and it was very good: 3rd, 4th and 5th position are for us too!

January Review

I think the best way to describe January for us is with the (slightly edited) Latin saying: Venimus, vidimus, vicimus. For those who don't speak Latin, it means: We came, we saw, we won. Every race we participated, we won. This are the other results. Surprising is Mikhail Ignatiev who won the Tour Down Under.

We are very happy that we lead both the Continental Tour rankings. We have a huge adventage in the team rankings, and Johnny Hoogerland leads the rider's rankings.

Stage 1

This stage looks like one for the sprinters or breakaway.

www.theepochtimes.com/n2/images/stories/large/2009/07/08/blakuweigh88899325.jpg

Albert Timmer wins after a break of 12 men reaches the finish line. Dominik Nerz finishes 11th, with the same time

1	Albert Timmer	Skil -Shimano	3h04'33
2	Jarl Salomein	Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator	s.t.
3	Robert Partridge	Endura Racing	s.t.
4	Evert Verbist	Veranda's Willems - Accent	s.t.
5	Daniel Ricardo DÃaz	Velo-Club La Pomme Marseille	s.t.
6	RÃ©my Cusin	Cofidis, le crÃ©dit en ligne	s.t.
7	Florian Guillou	Bretagne - Schuller	s.t.
8	Anthony Colin	Roubaix Lille MÃ©tropole	s.t.
9	Fabrice Jeandesboz	Saur - Sojasun	s.t.
10	RafaÃ¢ Chtioui	Acqua & Sapone	s.t.

Stage 2

This stage looks like one for the sprinters.

Jarl Salomein surprisingly wins the very close sprint in the pack and now wears the yellow jersey. Gert Steegmans is our best finisher with a 7th position.

1	Jarl Salomein	Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator	2h51'42
2	Arnoud Van Groen	Veranda's Willems - Accent	s.t.
3	Michael Matthews	Rabobank Cycling Team	s.t.

5	Heinrich Haussler	Team Garmin - CervÃ©lo	s.t.
6	Kris Boeckmans	Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator	s.t.
7	Gert Steegmans	KLM Cycling Team	s.t.
8	Robert Hayles	Endura Racing	s.t.
9	Tom Veelers	KLM Cycling Team	s.t.
10	RafaÃ¢ Chtioui	Acqua & Sapone	s.t.

Stage 3

This stage has a big hill, but it's far from the finish, and therefore it's for the sprinters.

Davy Commeyne surprisingly wins the very close sprint in the pack and now wears the yellow jersey. Gert Steegmans is our best finisher with a 7th position.

1	Davy Commeyne	Landbouwkrediet	3h04'38
2	Heinrich Haussler	Team Garmin - CervÃ©lo	s.t.
3	Kris Boeckmans	Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator	s.t.
4	Robert Hayles	Endura Racing	s.t.
5	Gert Steegmans	KLM Cycling Team	s.t.
6	Marcel Kittel	Skil - Shimano	s.t.
7	Jetse Bol	KLM Cycling Team	s.t.
8	Michael Matthews	Rabobank Cycling Team	s.t.
9	Arnoud Van Groen	Veranda's Willems - Accent	s.t.
10	RafaÃ¢ Chtioui	Acqua & Sapone	s.t.

Stage 4

This stage should be won by the sprinters, because it is very flat.

Big favourite for tomorrow, Philipe Gilbert, wins the stage after a series of late attacks. Gert Steegmans finishes 5th.

1	Philippe Gilbert	Omega Pharma - Lotto	3h52'45
2	Heinrich Haussler	Team Garmin - CervÃ©lo	+ 24
3	Bert De Waele	Landbouwkrediet	s.t.
4	Preben Van Hecke	Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator	+ 36
5	Gert Steegmans	KLM Cycling Team	+ 45
6	Bram Tankink	Rabobank Cycling Team	+ 59
7	Steven Van Vooren	Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator	s.t.
8	Alexandre Geniez	Skil - Shimano	s.t.
9	Paul Martens	Rabobank Cycling Team	s.t.
10	Kjell CarlstrÃ¶m	Sky ProCycling	+ 1'16

Stage 5

This stage will be descisive for the GC. The Mont Faron is a though climb, only the strongest can win. What can KLM do here?

The answer: not much. The finish is like a deja-vu, Philipe Gilbert is the first rider to be up the Mont Faron after an early attack, and wins the GC. Johnny Hoogerland finishes 8th.

1	Philippe Gilbert	Omega Pharma - Lotto	4h29'18
2	Bert De Waele	Landbouwkrediet	+ 1'28
3	Rigoberto UrÃ¡n	Sky ProCycling	+ 2'02
