Stage 2
Campagnatico - Orbetello


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0032-3.jpg
Basso stage..he promised to atack today. To get back that uphill atack after two years break of racing.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0033-3.jpg
Lets skip the first "rolling" part of the race..straight to atack. First favorite Mazzanti atack..Katusha team has been so far so good at this season..I realy hope they can continue this way.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0034-2.jpg
When Caucchioli atack..there go's also Basso. After Mazzanti


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0035-2.jpg
Basso taking over pace making duty..they have problems to follow him. No one wont help him..peloton is coming back.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0036-1.jpg
Basso accelerates again..hy not to have some fun. This is he's one an only race on February.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0037.jpg
Here trying Mazzanti, Caucchioli and Simone Masciarelli atack again to cach Basso.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0038-1.jpg
Pierrick Fédrigo amazing counter atack..he passes all of them and takes stage lead.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0039.jpg
Atack after atack..Dessel, Anza and Tonti has joined with lead group. Masciarelli looks tyred ..he cant follow.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0040.jpg
Final km. has started..has Basso was climbing realy ok..then into middle this hilly sprinters he dont feel comfortable at all.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0041.jpg
And another Katusha high point..Mazzanti takes stage win and leader jersey.
Unfair..main group dont lost any time today. All this effort for nothing.
One stage to go.

Stage 2
Sausalito - Santa Rosa



i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0001-5.jpg
First stage in Amgen race is for sprinters. Profile give us few tricyi hills. If there peloton has into fast race speed several sprinters will not survive there.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0008-5.jpg
And there we are..Brown has long gone..now MvEwen has trouble to keep up..he will make it..thanks for downhill.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0009-5.jpg
And there go´s Nuyes..strange move just before the sprint.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0003-5.jpg
Nuyens sliping away..Saxo Bank trying to cach him (Arvesen, O´Grady. Bennati should follow them.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0004-5.jpg
Damn its hard to keep up..Highroad train with Cavedish on the same mission. Astana with Vaitus..trying hard..but they are faiding.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0005-5.jpg
Bennati did it..he is sitting right behind O´Grady..this is it for Nuyens..Pineau managed get there.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0006-4.jpg
Sprint O´Grady opens..Bennati is in perfect position. Pippo and prologue winner Cancellara will be into this battle.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0007-5.jpg
And there go´s Bennati ..No chanche for others.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0002-5.jpg
Bennati takes stage win..and tour leader jersey. Liquigas has still problem decide who will be team leader Kreuiger or Nibali. Next race will tell...amd ofcorse last TT

Stage 3
Grosseto - Grosseto



i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0010-5.jpg
Lets finish Basso training camp race..this will be race with my weakest final result.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0011-3.jpg
Last hill Dessell atack..Basso follows. He will counter for any atack today.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0012-5.jpg
Downhill..Basso will try to get some guys to help for escape..no result..he is going alone.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0013-5.jpg
Not for long..LPR and Lampre will chase him down.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0015-5.jpg
And teher go's sprint..several Cervelo test team riders out there..they will plan something today. Oss is Liquigas player.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0016-3.jpg
Yukiya Arashiro leading..Gavazzi and Haussler follows. Oss is good..Petacchi is to far behind.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0017-6.jpg
Haussler takes stage win..Oss wasnt able to keep he's position all the way.
This tour was humiliation for Liquigas, also good lesson to not get to exited..thank good it's over now.

Todays breakaway group Niki Terpstra,Bartosz Huzarski, Christian Knees,Jonathon Clarke, Mikaël Chérel, Kevin De Weert, Graham Howard,Jos Van Emden and Shinichi Fukushima


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0022-4.jpg
Peloton started a chase Liquigas, Katusha and Highroad will work together.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0023-3.jpg
And all will end with mass sprint..there is two sharp corners before finish line. Riders should be careful..to pass them without crash..
First corner Highroad and Saxo bank..Arvesen , O'Grady, Cancellara, Cavedish, Pippo, Barrojo and Bennati. Nuyens is Rabo rider..he was trying again with long sprint..and now he is so tyred.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0024-4.jpg
Second corner..nice four riders line - O'Grady, Cavedish, Boasson Hagen, Bennati, Cancellara is just behind them.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0025-4.jpg
O'Grady takes stage win..Bennati second. You just cant win any day. Bennati still holds tour leader jersey.
Tomorrow is time for Kreuziger and Nibali step up.

Stage 4
Modesto - San Jose


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0027-4.jpg
Today real tour starts..several ataks expected. I not fan of two leader system..but I'm doing the best to give both Kreuziger and Nibali theyr chanches.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0028-3.jpg
Breakaway group..Liquigas has enough climbing helpers. They send Wladimir Miholjevic to breakaway group (goal is climber jersey). He go's when Hamilton atack. Lead group is formed Hamilton, Miholijevic, Barrojo, Crane, Ian McLeod and Rémy Di Gregorio


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0029-4.jpg
Breakaway group has solid lead..there is 83km. still to race when Albasini atacking away from peloton..and started to chase breakaway riders.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0030-4.jpg
Albasini is coming from behind..there is over 60km. to run group at the front just cant work together..and solution for that ? Stupid atack after after atack situation.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0031-4.jpg
Miholjevic knows that if he likes to have climber jersey he need to keep up at the top..after several atack there is just four riders left Miholjevic, Hamilton, McLeod and Di Gregorio.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0032-4.jpg
And here comes Albasini..super strong solo ride ...he caching lead four on that climb.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0033-4.jpg
at the same climb few minutes later ... movment in peloton..Chavanel and Pozzato atack..


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0034-3.jpg
Tempo is real high..race leader Bennati has difficulty to follow..still Szmydt near him..to help him out


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0035-3.jpg
Last climb of the day..Sevilla opens sprint madness..Saxo controlling a race for Cancellara and Schleck


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0036-2.jpg
..then Karpets and Fränk atack..this is serious


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0037-1.jpg
..Kreuziger atack..seconds later Nibali, Armstrong, Pfannberger...key moment..


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0038-2.jpg
At the hill top they caching Wladimir Miholjevic...who has power to counter and take there max. climbing points. This has turned up as perfect tactic play.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0039-1.jpg
Downhill..lead group has formed..Armstrong, Schleck, Gusev, Chavanel, Hincapie, Karpets, Joly and Liquigas managed to get there 3 riders Nibali, Kreuziger and Miholjevic.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0040-1.jpg
Miholjevic carring water to team mate..making tempo and have been all day long at front..have to give up..10km. before finish line. He is my hero today,


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0041-1.jpg
Armstrong will lead leader group into down..home crowd is realy enthusiastic at this moment.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0042.jpg
Kreuzoger who has just waited he's moment behind big Lance..opens the sprint. This hard one..I was shure that Chavanel and Hincapie had better chanches..but they have no energy left.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0043.jpg
Armstrong is the one who dont want exept he's lost..he fights thrue the line..Photofinish..YEAAAH! Kreuziger.. winner. This was just great race..
1) Such a fun
2) Climber jersey
3) Stage win
4) Tour leader jersey
5) Young rider jersey
6) Best team
Perfect day...you have to belive me it wasnt easy..but at the end extremly lucky one.

Stage 5
Seaside - San Luis Obispo



i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0001-6.jpg
Last stage before important TT


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0002-6.jpg
Wladimir Miholjevic and Szmydt speeding faster peloton on every climb.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0004-6.jpg
Final climb...Karpets is first to atack..


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0005-6.jpg
..then Joly, Pate, Sevilla and Nibali. Who is next?..


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0006-5.jpg
Gusev, Armstrong, Schleck and tour leader Kreuziger.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0007-6.jpg
They all made nice strong lead group..second wave...Viconti. Nibali counter atack..plan fot today is clear now. Nibali will follow most of the atack..and take risk. Kreuziger is more conservative today.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0008-6.jpg
..this is far from over. Armstrong atack.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0009-6.jpg
Kreuziger need to ride hard to close that gap..Nibali has orders ..to stay close to race leader.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0010-6.jpg
So many atack's again and no result..when they come to sprint area all back together..Kreuziger, Nibali, Schleck, Armstrong, Karpets, Visconti, Gusev, Chavanel, Sevilla and Joly (who has done great job..at last 2 stages)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0011-4.jpg
Both Liquigas riders is quite exausted..Nibali will give he's last to protect Kreuziger. Schelck opens the sprint..2 Katusha riders follows.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0012-6.jpg
This is gonna be between those 3..maybe Visconti. Nibali is completly out of the game..Armstrong is out. Kreuziger dont have nothing more left..he will try just hang on.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0013-6.jpg
Big guy taking stage win..and this is double for Katusha.I am starting to affraid this team.
There go's Kreuziger leader jersey to Gusev.

Stage 6
Solvang - Solvang



i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0015-6.jpg
Here we go..Liquigas young guys Nibali and Kreuziger has fighted well. Today we probably decide race final standings.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0016-4.jpg
First good time to beat...Michael Schär at the end of they 42. (+2'15)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0017-7.jpg
Man who beat that time Hagen 18.(+1'35)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0018-5.jpg
Then Cornu 20.(+1'36)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0019-4.jpg
Katusha dream continues..Pozzato ...realy strong ride 11. (+1'08)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0020-5.jpg
Pinotti 10. (+1'06)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0021-3.jpg
Voigt 12. (+1'08)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0022-5.jpg
Posthuma 6. (+48 sec.)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0023-4.jpg
Rogers 5. (+44 sec.)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0024-5.jpg
Larsson 4. (+38sec.)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0025-5.jpg
Fabian...again..TT stage win. This guy seems to be unbeatable.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0026-5.jpg
"Big George" 3. (+24 sec.)..back into GC top 6.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0027-5.jpg
Chavanel 16. (+1'24)


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0028-4.jpg
Liquigas hope..Nibali 15. (+1'22)..not hugh success, but managed to keep himself inside top 6. I missed Kreuziger shot some how..13 (+1'15)..welcome back to the reality young man...4th. in GC.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0029-5.jpg
Fränk Schleck 23. (+1'45)..there go's Saxo bank GC dreams.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0031-5.jpg
Karpets 8. (+57sec.)..and another Katusha "ghost" tour leader Gusev 9. (+58sec.). This was one day leader jersey glory.


i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/guido7/PCM0030-5.jpg
Armstrong 2. (+11 sec.)..good enough to take solid tour lead..great timing and tour build up.

After a race I was a little dissapointed. I did not expect GC lead..but Kreuziger needed 15 sec. to be in podium. They managed to spoil me has manager with this early success. I belive that moment dissapointment will pass..If I managed to keep both young guns inside top 6. This is season first great startlist tour.
Bennati was a man over expectation today.

You lost the jersey as expected. Is there any hilly stages left, so you can win it back?

Nope ..last stage maybe..

But now I work about hour more..and then I hope to have great news for mac users. There is possible to run..Cycling manager in mac (egoistic reasons..then I can play the game where ever I am no just home with "kick ass" pc)
 
Goldberger
Too bad about the ttWink But Tour Of California isn't the most important race for Liquigas.
 
Guido Mukk

Flecha caching breakaway duo..he is doing few relays. then he decided this isnt enough and off he go's. Miholjevic and Chérel just cant follow.
Not for ong..peloton moving real fast. They caching him..when we have 20km. to go.
