Paths of King Nicola
This was also a race that the sponsors would like to get a top three spot in the general classification. There were too many hills for Kristoff, so I didn’t let him ride. Fabio Duarte’s form was a bit bad before Tour de Normandie, which is the next race, so I took him here for getting good form, maybe a good spot in the general classification too.
Stage 1
At the beginning, there came as usual a breakaway that just had bad riders.
When there was 70 km to the finish, the Danish team Designa Køkken set a fast pace over the top of one of the hills, and they got 20 metres, and they just got more and more seconds.
The Designa Køkken riders got a huge lead.
Then I remembered that my sponsors said that they wanted a top three spot in this race. I sent Nordhaug out when there were 15 kilometres to the line.
He went up to the rests of the Designa Køkken riders, and therefrom he set a very fast pace for getting seconds from the peloton.
The only one that could hold on was Fuglsang. Mortensen was ten metres behind Nordhaug and Fuglsang when their sprint started. Fuglsang had much more strength than Nordhaug, because he hadn’t relayed a second this stage. Nordhaug opened the sprint, and not far later, The Designa Køkken rider came on his right side. Fuglsang won infront of Nordhaug.
Mortensen came 30 metres behind, and did that, Nordhaug and Fuglsang didn’t got any more seconds on the pack

Stage 2
This stage is just a rest day for the team. No one will do anything, just rest for the stage tomorrow.
The breakaway had four riders today.
Just when the peloton began to catch the breakaway, Wilmann went down. He got a red cross too. This was really bad for the first man in my sprint train for Tour de Normandie whose starts in few days.
Wilmann laid down on the road that long that I thought he died. After 40 seconds, he came on his bike again.
The breakaway was caught with 20 kilometres to go.
André Schulze won the sprint easy in front of Tomasz Kiendyś and Tilo Schüler. All my riders were sitting in the pack.
Nordhaug was now on a fourth place in the general results, while he relaxed today, he probably will be ready for the hilly race tomorrow.

Stage 3
This stage was hillier, but I decided to let my riders use this stage as a rest stage too. Nordhaug was in the front of the peloton when the sprint started, but he did not sprint. He came into a 15th place. Wilmann has almost injuries, but he will not retire the race.
Paweł Szaniawski from CCC - Polsat – Polkowice won the stage, and he got the yellow jersey too.

Stage 4
This is the stage there Joker Bianchi will be active in the race. The sponsors want a top three spot in the general results, and now, Nordhaug is our best on a 6th place. The stage has two hard climbs today, and I will try to attack with Duarte on the last.
At the second climb, Duarte attacked over the top, and the top riders Tomasz Kiendyś, Uros Murn and Jakob Fuglsang counter-attacked. Murn wanted to go solo, so he continued his attack until he got half a mnute.

Duarte became very tired while he was in the breakaway, and soon I found out that Norhaug also had to attack. Nordhaug attacked at 15 kilometres to go.

This is the biggest stage race for Joker Bianchi at this part of the season. The sponsors want good spots, in stages and general results. The eight stages are flat, so Kristoff and Nordhaug will be the key persons in this race. Wilmann's injury in Paths of king Nicola is that bad that he will not race.
This is our team this race:
Stage 1 – 5,8 km ITT
The prologue favourites Brian Vandborg, Lars Boom and Christophe Moreau. I will try to get some good spots with Alexander Kristoff and the other team riders.
Vandborg started early, and he had the best time for a long time
Christophe Moreau did a good race
Alexander Kristoff did also a good ITT, and ended just fourteen seconds behind
Lars Boom left the start late, and he won with six seconds to the next one
Results:
1 Lars Boom Rabobank Continental 10'07
2 Brian Vandborg Team GLS - Pakke Shop + 6
3 Tim Mertens Davitamon - Lotto - Jong Vlaanderen + 9
4 Jacob Moe Rasmussen Team GLS - Pakke Shop + 11
5 Christophe Moreau Agritubel + 13
6 Alexander Kristoff Joker - Bianchi + 14
7 Tony Gallopin Auber 93 + 17
8 Klaas Sys Davitamon - Lotto - Jong Vlaanderen + 18
9 Matija Kvasina Perutnina Ptuj s.t.
10 Tejay Van Garderen Rabobank Continental s.t.
16 Joakim Gunnerud Joker - Bianchi + 23
18 Fabio Duarte Joker - Bianchi + 24
19 Ingar Stokstad Joker - Bianchi s.t.
28 Ole Haavardsholm Joker - Bianchi + 28
55 Lars Petter Nordhaug Joker - Bianchi + 43

Stage 2 – Norwegian domination
This stage is long, and with only 43 meters ascent, Kristoff can do a good sprint.
The breakaway was caught with 24 kilometres to go
I wanted to set up a train, but the strong rider Coen Vermeltfoort (Rabobank Continental) gave it all for his team-mate which wasn’t on his wheel. Because of the strong side-way wind, there became some metres from the end of the “train”, to the next rider. I decided to let Gunnerud, which was the first in my train give up, and I set Nordhaug in the other train.
The train
Not long to the finishing line
Double Norwegian! Hegreberg in front of Kristoff. Nordhaug on a good 6th place.
Results:
1 Morten Hegreberg Team Sparebanken Vest 4h31'12

Stage 3
This stage is only 84 kilometres long, there are surely many riders who want to go in a breakaway, and I will also send a rider.
I sent Ole Haavardsholm in the first breakaway. Unfortunately the break was caught 30 kilometres from the line.
Haavardsholm attacks
After 50 kilometres, Haavardsholm and his group were caugh by the peloton
When there were 20 kilometres to the line, Haavardsholm tried to break away again.
10 kilometres from the line are Haavardsholm caught
Nordhaug had Kristoff on his wheel, and they were nearly first when the sprint started. Nordhaug tries to sprint past a rider, but he doesn’t come past. Kristoff is in that moment boxed.
Kristoff boxed
Kristoff is in a bad position when the final kilometre comes
Finally, Kristoff finds a way out of the box, and he’s pulling all he can do.
Kristoff is faster than all the sprinters, and is near he’s first Tour de Normandie stage win.
