Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne
Favourites:
Boonen Cancellara
Boonen caps off a great few days with another win, it is also the exact same top 3 as the Omloop.
Tom Boonen has now won Kuurne Bruxelles Kuurne more than anyone else he has 3 wins 07,09,12.
We have some sad news regarding Vinchenzo Nibali he is a doubt for Tirreno Adriatico, he will not take the start line if he is not upto it. We are monitoring his condition daily.

Strade Bianche
The Strade Bianche, formerly known as Monte Paschi Eroica (2007, 2008) and Montepaschi Strade Bianche (2009, 2010, 2011), is a road bicycle race held annually near Siena, in the region of Tuscany, Italy. The race was first organised in 2007 as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour and was held in October. From 2008 on the event has found a space in early March as part of the European classics season.[1] It is held the week before Tirreno–Adriatico as a warm weather precursor to the cobbled classics of the north. The field is usually made up of riders taking part in Tirreno–Adriatico.
Past winners:
2007 Alexandr Kolobnev (RUS) Team CSC
2008 Fabian Cancellara (SUI) Team CSC
2009 Thomas Lövkvist (SWE) Team Columbia-High Road
2010 Maxim Iglinsky (KAZ) Astana
2011 Philippe Gilbert (BEL) Omega Pharma-Lotto
Our team is made up of mainly riders who will be riding T.A and MSR. We are -Nibali for this race but he is getting better slowly.
After consultant with the doctor it is been decided that Nibali will now take part as their is no other race that he can build up for Tirreno Adriatico.

Favourites:
Rodriguez Nibali Scarponi Chavanel
Gasparotto Iglinsky Moreno
We have sent Agnoli in the break, it is a 6 man break most notable rider in the break is Trentin.
The break is quickly bought back after it contained 14 riders
A 4man group has got in the BOTD 131 kms to go and they have 1'42"
The breakaway has 2 more riders G.Bole and E.Favilli
Scarponi is also bridging to the breakaway which is a suprise
50 kms to go and their is gaps all over the road we only have Gasparotto and Tiralongo in the main group. Nibali and Iglinsky(who has good fitness) are stuck a min behind. The Scarponi group is 4'37" infront.
Nibali and Iglinsky are back in the main group
20 kms to go and the 3 strongmen of the breakaway are 2min ahead of the other 6 riders who are about to be caught by the peleton
14 kms to go and Scarponi has broke away from Bole and Favilli, he is still well over 3mins clear of the main bunch.
The Bole group has 3 mins over the peleton through bad positioning we keep getting caught behind on the narrow climbs, Scarponi is 28 secs ahead of Bole and Favilli with 12.5 kms to go.
Gasparotto attacks, counterd bye Pozzato and Callegarin
1.5 to go for Scarponi and he is 55 secs ahead of bole and Favilli he has this in the bag.
Scarponi wins, Bole 2nd and Favilli 3rd, and Chavanel pips Gaspa to 4th on the line. Nibali gets an excellent 10th place after a tough week.
Top 10
Gaspa really was strong today, Iglinsky did some work for Nibali in the finale thats why he could not contend the finish.
Paris Nice will be next.

Paris Nice
Paris–Nice, "the race to the sun", is a professional cycling stage race held each March. It was first held in 1933, and was won by Alfons Schepers of Belgium. The most successful rider in Paris–Nice has been Sean Kelly of Ireland, who won seven consecutive races from 1982 to 1988.
Despite its name the race has not always started in Paris, with towns in the outskirts (or south of Paris) often preferred. The final stage generally finishes on either the Promenade des Anglais in Nice or the Col d'Eze, a pass on the Haute Corniche road near the city.
During the 2003 race, Kazakhstan's Andrei Kivilev died as the result of a head injury sustained in an accident. His death prompted the UCI to mandate the use of helmets in all competition, except for the last part of a race with an uphill finish. The rule was later changed to require helmets at all times.
Paris–Nice is currently organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO). ASO also organizes other races (such as the Tour de France and Paris–Roubaix) and sporting events (including the Dakar Rally and the Paris Marathon).
The ownership of Paris–Nice has changed hands several times. For many years it was run by the French cycling journalist Jean Leulliot, and after his death by his family. It was then taken over by Tour de France winner Laurent Fignon before passing on to ASO. Since 2009 it has been one of 24 races on the UCI World Calendar, counting towards the UCI World Ranking.

Our aim is a top 5 place in GC with Brajkovic, it is a very strong field though.
We also feel a stage win is possible.
Stage 1 ITT
Favourites: Wiggins Cancellara Martin
Wiggins is 3 secs down on Van Emden best time through the first check.
Wiggins goes faster bye only 1 second
Wiggins must not be in contention for overall here as Vicioso goes 16 secs faster.
1 of the Favourites is about to start its Tony Martin
Martin is 5 secs slower than this great looking time bye Vicioso
Fabian Cancellara gets underway
Cancellara is flying 9 seconds faster through the 2nd intermediate checkpoint
Cancellara smashes the time he goes 12 seconds faster
Brajkovic is about to start his bid for Yellow
Brajkovic is 19 seconds off the fastest time.
Cancellara wins the stage - Bajkovic 10th
GC
This result was fairly good considering Wiggins, Froome and Schleck all lost time so we are happy.

Stage 2
Favourites:
Greipel Rojas Guardini
The BOTD was formed 40 kms into the stage it has some big names including M.Nieve in the 13 man group
The KOTM sprint is taken bye Cherel
80 kms to go and the breakaway is 5'52" ahead
46 kms to go and Selig takes the sprint intermediate ahead of Kwiatkowski and Cherel
30 kms to go and the breakaway is down to 3'12"
10 kms to go and Tosatto, Nieve and Vigano are still out front bye 1 min
3.6 kms to go and the breakaway could well snatch this as we still have 4.2 to go
2kms to go and the leaders are sprinting it
2.5 for the peleton and we have a strong leadout Greipel is on Guardini's wheel.
Tosatto wins
We end up pipping Kwiatkowski who was in the BOTD on the line for 4th
Top 10 - Guardini 4th
GC
Well this was bittersweet for us 4th is Guardini's best result of the season but if we had worked more on bringing it back we would have won the stage, Guardini held off Greipel just. I think we can be confident that if we beat Greipel in the comming stage's we should win a stage as he is the best sprinter. We need the sprint train to be like today it was perfect Bazayev led Guardini out like a demon and we need more of the same to beat Greipel.

Stage 3
Although listed as flat i think it will be impossible for Guardini to win this stage as it really does kick up in the finale. We will certainly try though.
Favourites:
Gilbert Rojas Van Avermaet
Greipel Bennati
This is the main breakaway it is made up of 11 riders
Vaitkus takes the KOTM ahead of Sella and Vansummeren
70 kms to go and the break has 5'06"
2nd KOTM points are taken bye Vanssumeren ahead of Sella and Boivin
30 kms to go and the break is 2'37" infront of the peleton
KOTM: Boivin takes it
2nd Vansummeren
3rd Van Keirsbulck
Boivin takes the final KOTM sprint ahead of Vansummeren and Chainel
10 kms to go and the gap is 58 seconds, their is an intermediate sprint with 7.5 kms left
Vaitkus wins the intermediate sprint ahead of Chainel and Roelandts
1.7 to go and can the break stay away again like yesterday Vaitkus is sprinting early
Vaitkus holds on from a quickly finishing Visconti
Gavazzi gets 10th just ahead of Brajkovic
Top 10
GC
We can be happy some big names lost time, a group lost 1'45" including B.W, TJVG and Leipheimer.

We started our sprint a little too early but we lost no time apart from bonus seconds and Janez is doing really well. Same with Gavazzi he led Brajkovic out but just faded towards the end.
Next stage is Tirreno Adriatico TTT

Tirreno Adriatico
Tirreno–Adriatico, the "Race of the Two Seas", is an elite cycle race following a route between the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic coasts of Italy. Traditionally held in early season, it is considered important preparation for the Milan – San Remo classic race. From 2005 to 2007, it was part of the UCI ProTour calendar, and although it was reclassified in 2008 as a UCI Europe Tour event, when organiser RCS withdrew all their events from the UCI's premier calendar, it became part of the UCI World Ranking calendar the following year.
Our goal is to win the race with Nibali, we also have Iglinsky and Gasoarotto who can win stages.

Stage 5
Judgement day for the GC hopefulls.
Favourites:
A.Schleck S.Sanchez Valverde Evans
This will be tough for Bajkovic we have a good buffer on fellow GC hopefuls, but we still have to take time on leader Cancellara.
Devenyns takes the first KOTM points ahead of Righi and Nuyens.
130kms to go and the BOTD has 4'07" on the peleton, Kessiakoff is in the break along with Greipel, Righi, Nuyens and Devenyns.
90kms to go and the gap is 7'43".
Devenyns takes the KOTM points aheadof Kessiakoff and Righi.
Greipel has lost 2 mins on the climbs to his breakaway companions so he is dropping back to the peleton.
The break has 5 minutes on the peleton with 65kms to go.
Devenyns takes the KOTM yet again.
2nd Kessiakoff
3rd Righi
40kms to go and the break has 3'41"
Devenyns has broke away from the Escapees.
Kessiakoff is about to be caught.
Kotm:
1st Devenyns
2nd Visconti
3rd Intxuasti
20kms to go and Devenyns who has been so strong, 1'20" infront still.
Fuglsang has fell, he was protecting Brajkovic so well.
Pinot has attacked.
10kms to go and surely the most agressive rider of the day, is finally caught.
Kern takes the final KOTM points ahead of Pinot and Cunego.
4.5kms to go and Pinot takes the bonification seconds, it is the only intermediate sprint of the day.
3kms to go and Cunego is leading on to the Mende, Brajkovic way to far back at the moment.
1.5 to go and it's Sanchez who looks strong.
0.8kms to go and L.L.Sanchez has overtaken S.Sanchez.
L.L.Sanchez wins the stage and probably takes the leader's jersey.
Not a good day for Brajkovic, it was always going to be difficult on this stage.
Top 10 - Brajkovic 14th 1'20" down on LLS
GC- Brajkovic 9th
We still believe a top 5 is achievable. A podium will be a bit too tough.

Tirreno Adriatico
Stage 2
Favourites:
Purito Sagan F.Schleck
We have 3 cards today Nibali, Iglinsky and Gasparotto.
Gatto takes the KOTM points from the 8 man break ahead of Denfil and Modolo.
Gatto takes the KOTM points again ahead of Denfil and Ladagnous. The break has 10'47" with 122kms to go.
Bad luck for Gatto he has fell.
Amazingly he has remounted and rejoined the break.
Gatto wins the Intermediate sprint ahead of Modolo and Haussler.
90kms to go and the break is 8'48" ahead of the peleton.
50km to go and it is under 5 minutes now to the peleton.
Haussler, Hincapie and Gatto the top 3 at the final Intermediate sprint, 31kms to go and the gap is 3'22".
20kms to go and the break is still 2'33" infront, can they hold on?
15kms to go and 2'08" is the gap.
We decide to push the pace Nibali is being protected bye Tiralongo.
8kms to go and the break is 1'22" infront.
Gasparotto attacks.
2.2 to go and Gatto is sprinting for glory, Gaspa is in the background.
Hauusler takes the win, Hincapie 2nd and Gatto takes a fine 3rd considering he has hit the floor today.
Gasparotto takes time on the rest with a great attack, and takes 7th on the stage.
Sagan leads the bunch over the line.
Top 10- Gasparotto take's 23 seconds over the main bunch so he clearly is in good shape moving forward to MSR.
GC- Haussler the new leader bye 1 second
I think we can be happy with the conclusion from today's stage, Nibali shown himself well and Gasparotto was excellent. A very good comeback from the dissapointing TTT.

20kms to go and the gap is now 1'08"
The bonus seconds are taken bye Rasch, Mori and Boeckmans.
The final KOTM points are taken bye Mori, Monsalve and Morkov.
10kms to go and the gap has gone up to 1'20", the sprinter's teams are getting organised now though with the flat run to the end.
Morkov takes the stage win, he attacked to bridge to the break and he was clearly strongest as he wins bye 19 seconds.
Top 10
GC
This stage was disastorous we burnt Guardini out, as 17kms to go their was a 4km climb and we had to try catch the break.
I did not take two many screens as i am popping out for abit guys.
