Thanks... .. i hope you like the story too..
Andalucia Stage 2
Queen stage of this years edition, we hope to have one good day...
P. Van Olst and M. Bizkarra(EUK) are the first ones to attack...
1st KOM sprint...Bizkarra being better climb goes first on top... 4´02" gap...
After first climb, peloton reduces the gap to 1´24"...
2nd KOM sprint... Bizkarra wins again... peloton is almost over them..
...but seems peloton is loosing terrain again... some riders jump out and try to catch up with front duo... B. De Clerck(LTB), D. Nevado(BUR) and P. Ignatenko(KAT)..
Escapees reach last climb... P. Van Olst hits the wall...
F. Baraybar(Once), D. Atapuma(COL), R. Diaz(EPM) and J. El Fares(SOJ) join front group...
7,3kms to the top... Baraybar can´t follow... he gets droped from front group... behind him...
.... R. Manotas attack from peloton...
W. Kelderman follows Manotas...
Kelderman leaves everyone behind... only El Fares can hold up with him... looks too strong for my taste..
.. at the top, G. Koob overtakes Manotas... M. Rogers(TST), C. Evans(BMC), E. Sella(AND) come behind with some more riders..
After last climb descent, Kelderman rides with El Fares... J. Van Der Broeck(LTB) tries to catch up..
20kms to go... G. Koob accelerates and leaves Evans group... 1´20" behind Van Der Broeck...
Riding downhill is fast, Kelderman quickly reach the bottom... last km... 40" to Van Der Broeck and El Fares...
.. those 40" are enought for W. Kelderman to win with style.. amazing ride... J. El Fares is 2nd and J. Van Der Broeck 3rd... G. Koob comes in 4th... Manotas 7th.. great result..

Nice to see the story coming along nicely. This strip really needs to be seen in a big Spanish race, lets hope the team can get promoted this season, although a long shot. |

Thanks mate..
Once might apply for at least one Pro Tour race
*sutty68
Yep, Koob did great but he´s still a little far from sponsor goal... we have to attack..
Andalucia Stage 3
3/4 of the stage are flat but those last 22kms might bring some movements in GC... we want that 3rd place in GC...
We start agressive today with P. Van Olst launching an attack at the begining... F. Matarranz(CJR), B. Garcia(BUR), J. Ochoa(AND), E. Capecchi(MOV), A. Kuschynski(KAT) and P. Moreno(EUS) join him... P. Morales(EPM) and C. Gomez(COL) will catch up with the group too..
Escapees reach 1st Int. sprint with 7´16"gap to peloton.. 113kms to go..
SaxoTinkoff can´t wait more and starts to chase the breakaway...
70kms to go... it has been one Sunday trip for breakaway.. they don´t seem to want to raise the pace... Van Olst already attacked 3 times but the group brings him back everytime... 5´10" gap and continues to drop.... Belkin joined Tinkoff at the front of the pack...
2nd Int. sprint, 53kms to go... 3´04"gap..
22kms... our plan comes in action... R. Pumarejo helps F. Baraybar to escape.... 2´45" to escapees..
We jump straight to last 2,6kms... F. Matarranz tries to escape from the break....
G. Koob attacks... he will not manage to get away.... peloton rides too fast and these hills aren´t that hard...
Last meters... W. Kelderman surprises all with his sprint habilities...
Finish line... E. Capecchi or D. Belda...
D. Belda it is... Van Olst finishes 9th...
Stage Result
No Major changes in GC..
Teams
Thanks to Van Olst, we got more confortable here...

It was... it was...
Andalucia Stage 4 / Last Stage
We might have thought wrong that stage 2 was queen stage....
BOTD - R. Chavez(AND), M. Mardones(COF), L. De Armendia(EUS), R. Alvarez(EPM), N. Sorensen(TST), D.A. Petrov(CJR), M. Ruiz(MOV) and F. Baraybar(ONCE)...
We start to lead the pack before 1st KOM sprint... 2´58"gap..
At the start of 2nd Climb, J. Lorenzo launches R. Manotas from the peloton...
After the top, i tell Baraybar to wait for Manotas...
.. but behind in peloton there are many teams wich don´t agree with this idea....
R. Manotas is right between peloton and the breakaway... it´s going to be hard to maintain this gap..
...and Manotas is eventually caught by peloton...1´14" to escapees, 18kms to 3rd KOM sprint..
Still going up in 3rd climb, G. Koob comes to the front...
Belkin fights to not let go...
..after 3rd climb, Koob is back in peloton...2´15" to escapees... 51kms to go...
2 more climbs to go, some riders try to get away...30kms to go...
R. Plaza(MOV) and Á. Vicioso(KAT) go in front...
Behind in peloton, G. Koob leads the pack... W. Kelderman controls all movements..
... there is movement in peloton... I Santaromita attacks, W. Kelderman counters with Manotas trying to hang on... Koob tries to counter too...
Kelderman and Santaromita catch up with Plaza and Vicioso...
This guy is amazing.. Kelderman drops everyone and goes alone.. 15kms downhill...
Last km for Kelderman... 1´11" gap...
..and another stage win for Kelderman... amazing... just amazing..
