the manager decides..and thats me so I choose
@issoisso: ah thats too bad
thanks...let's just continue in Italy
 GP Costa Degli Etruschi
An Italian classic with its first km being difficult but near the end the terrain gets flatter, a perfect race for a break and this Serebriakov went on an adventure. He was only accompanied by 3 others and that wasn't going to be enough for today so 20 kms later we send Perry and he is accompanied by 4 riders and so we have a break of 9 with 2 Barlo's in it
A nice break, most notable names are Failli, Pedraza and Axellson
Meanwhile Serebriakov just hangs on because of the hills, and so even though he is the best sprinter I know he wont make it to the line with these guys so instead he works for Perry and thanks to Serebriakov who had to let go with 15 kms to go the break makes it! Perry is still feeling good and he didn't co operate with the rest so a podium could be possible, Masnata is the best sprinter and he starts of well but then he meets the man with the hammer and Perry is up front...but he wouldn't stay there
 
Left: Perry is waiting up front behind Muto, Right: Pedraza has the better reputation but Failli takes it!
Result:
1.  Francesco Failli LIQUIGAS 4h38'35
2.  Walter Pedraza SERRAMENTI PVC DIQUIGIOVANNI - SELLE ITALIA s.t.

You could put a list on here of all the ones you want to do. I could choose 1 u the other, a bit of viewer interaction.
At least you had ardila in this one.

he posted his 'Erik Dekker isn't it?' at the same time that you told me who it was, so he wasn't having a go at your spelling, but trying to let me know it was Erik Dekker
he was just a tiny bit late |

Trofeo Laigueglia
Most of these guys participate to warm their legs up, only Marquez and Perry did some real racing before this race and so our expectations aren't that high. We are represented in the break and for Barloworld the young Spaniard, Marquez, was in the break but it didnt stand a chance in this strong field
Marquez in the back as they go into the descent of the 3rd and final climb, 5 kms later the story would be over
Lots of favourites attacked in the final kms while Cheula and Ardila Cano were the only ones present (Longo and Cox would come back in the end) A duo places the best attack and these 2 are Weening and Moreni, Weening can't get away and in the sprint Moreni doesn't even have to sprint the whole time to take the win
 
Left: Weening can't even follow Moreni, Right: Moreni wins the Trofeo Laigueglia!
Result:
1. Cristian Moreni COFIDIS, LE CRÉDIT PAR TÉLÉPHONE 5h02'22
2.  Pieter Weening RABOBANK + 26
3. Vincenzo Nibali LIQUIGAS s.t.

no
 Volta ao Algarve, 5 Stages:
These are all the guys who are in somewhat good form atm, Van Heerden will be the sprinter while Ardila was left out of the team so that Sabido can ride in his beloved Portugal, he will get the free role in front of the home crowd
Stage 1, Albufeira - Faro:
We start under the shining sun in Albufeira and no one seems to bother to attack, only Guidi tries it but when he drops to the floor the barloworld team chases the others down :twisted: We will get a sprint in Faro, will a Portugese sprinter take the win or will one of the PT sprinters take the win and the lead?
Van Heerden, here in Moreni's wheel would end 6th. The fans in Portugal are excited as someone from their country would win!
Result:
1.  Pedro Costa VITÓRIA - ASC 4h31'11
2. Cristian Moreni COFIDIS, LE CRÉDIT PAR TÉLÉPHONE s.t.
3.  Eric Baumann T-MOBILE TEAM s.t.
4. Jimmy Casper UNIBET.COM s.t.
5.  Fred Rodriguez PREDICTOR - LOTTO s.t.
6 Juan Van Heerden BARLOWORLD s.t.
7 Mirko Lorenzetto TEAM MILRAM s.t.
8 Hugo Sabido BARLOWORLD s.t.
9 Bradley McGee FRANÇAISE DES JEUX s.t.
10 Pedro Lopes Goncalves BENFICA s.t.
11 Frantisek Rabon T-MOBILE TEAM s.t.
12 Manuel Antonio Cardoso RIBERALVES - BOAVISTA s.t.
13 Nuno Marta MADEINOX - BRIC - LOULÉ s.t.
14 Pedro Miguel Soeiro BARBOT - HALCON s.t.
15 Javier Benitez BENFICA s.t.
16 Mauro Facci QUICK STEP - INNERGETIC s.t.
17 José Martins VITÓRIA - ASC s.t.
18 Cláudio Faria LA MSS s.t.
19 Mirko Celestino TEAM MILRAM s.t.
20 Bruno Sá FERCASE - ROTA DOS MÓVEIS s.t.
21 Mickaël Delage FRANÇAISE DES JEUX s.t.
22 Marco Velo TEAM MILRAM s.t.
23 Francisco José Pacheco BARBOT - HALCON s.t.
24 Jakob Piil T-MOBILE TEAM s.t.
25 Matej Jurco TEAM MILRAM s.t.
Stage 2, Castro Marim - Tavira:
The Vitoria team of Costa, yesterday's winner and now the leader, kept everything under control. A 1 man break didn't last long and so we will get a sprint but all of a sudden I am surprised by an intermediate sprint a few kms before the finish, Van Heerden and Sabido are way back but when the sprint starts they are present in the group. Both of our sprinters improved if you look at yesterday's result, Van Heerden went from 6 to 5, and Sabido from 8 to 7...Baumann was close to a victory but his party was cancelled
 
Left: The winner is in this group!, Right: Costa beats Baumann on the line!
Result:
1. Pedro Costa VITÓRIA - ASC 4h15'35
2. Eric Baumann T-MOBILE TEAM s.t.
3. Mirko Lorenzetto TEAM MILRAM s.t.
4.  Frantisek Rabon T-MOBILE TEAM s.t.
5. Juan Van Heerden BARLOWORLD s.t.
6 Jimmy Casper UNIBET.COM s.t.
7 Hugo Sabido BARLOWORLD s.t.
8 Mauro Facci QUICK STEP - INNERGETIC s.t.
9 Cristian Moreni COFIDIS, LE CRÉDIT PAR TÉLÉPHONE s.t.
10 Andrea Moletta GEROLSTEINER s.t.
11 José Martins VITÓRIA - ASC s.t.
12 Matej Jurco TEAM MILRAM s.t.
13 Manuel Antonio Cardoso RIBERALVES - BOAVISTA s.t.
