I meant:
-- To finish 25th with many strong riders in the race is a good result considering lack of form/ Hot wheels current stats/ TTT ranking.
-- I was thinking Watson couldn't win the intermediate sprints because of relative poor flat/ recovery stats.. maybe?
But forget that
I get the 20,000 view on this story! |

The Rider: Okay, well I think I didn't do too bad in understanding it. 25th is indeed good, but that's mainly because of big crashes from others. Well, it's also good to see we can avoid them. Already a while ago I did this, but I thought there were other sprinters in the breakaway who were better, or I just forgot the sprint and was too late to win it. Don't know it anymore. But Watson is in great shape and I hope he can do well the next races.
Yay, 20.000 view. That deserves a good result...

I agree with The Rider, finishing in 25th place with all that talent in the race is still a pretty good performance and maybe next season the team will come back and challenge for the win, its all about learning |

Volta ao Algarve – Stage 1
Stage Preview
Today starts the Volta ao Algarve, a race in Portugal. The sponsor goal is to finish in the Top-10. Although he’s Portuguese champion and one of our best riders, Rodrigues won’t start here. Our squad is almost the same as in the Tour of Qatar, because these cyclists are in better shape than the others.
Vincent Rogers is our rider in the breakaway. He finished third at the first mountain sprint. This stage has some hills and mountain sprints, and Rogers is a cyclist who should’ve some opportunities here.
The second mountain sprint was weird. Only Rogers attacked and the others just rode in his wheel. Rogers took the points, which is good for us.
But the peloton didn’t really chase the breakaway. With ten kilometres to go, the breakaway still had more than three minutes. At this point, Rogers decided to attack. He could take the win, and the leader jersey!
Unfortunately the others chased too hard and passed him with two kilometres to go. Attacking was our only opportunity for the stage win, because Rogers is a very bad sprinter.
Eventually, it was Gilbert (Martin, not Philippe) who won the stage. Rogers finished tenth. He’s one of the better climbers of the ten who finished with a gap to the peloton, so we see opportunities in the GC!
Watson finished third in the sprint of the peloton, which is also good news for us.
Rogers took the mountain jersey. Hopefully we can keep that, but our main target is of course the GC.
Today's Winner

Had to give it a go with Rogers, given he is a terrible sprinter.
With the peloton over 3'00 down maybe he can move up in the GC. |

tmr96: It's a good start indeed. Hopefully we can hold this the next few days. The riders are in very good shape so it should be possible...
The Rider: Yes, unfortunately we didn't have Watson in the breakaway. I think that he could've won here now, but it is how it is. We'll try to move up, but it still will be difficult. We have to take it in the two hilly stages which are stage two and three. Our biggest fear is stage five, which is a time-trial. That will be very difficult.

sutty68: Yes, he did very well. I hope so, because the team is in great shape. I almost expect it, but I may not forget that this is only their first or second year in the peloton.

Volta ao Algarve – Stage 2
Stage Preview
The second stage was, just like the first one, a hilly one.
The start was chaotic, so Freire was leading alone. He took the first mountain sprint.
The second mountain sprint was won by Chalapud and at that moment he was also leading the mountain classification. Freire was third this time.
Nobody was interested in the first intermediate sprint, so Freire took it. Maybe the points or bonification seconds could be useful...
Chalapud didn’t sprint at the third mountain sprint while Freire was two points behind him. Freire saw his chance and took the second place there. Now he’s leading the mountain classification.
At the second intermediate sprint there were some other riders interested in the points and bonifications. Freire was third here and took some of them.
With ten kilometres to go, the breakaway had a gap just like yesterday. There was a short, uphill part on the road and Freire decided to attack. Maybe he could take the victory!
But no. Just like Rogers yesterday, Freire got caught within the last two kilometres.
It was a close sprint between Docker and Ljungblad, but it was the 35-year old Swede who took the stage. The gap between the breakaway and the peloton was almost the same as yesterday. Freire is now 7th in the GC, while Rogers is twelfth now.
Freire took over the lead in the mountain jersey from his teammate Rogers. We still have the jersey and of course we’ll try to keep it.
Freire also took the lead in the young classification. This is great!

After the first stage Rogers had one jersey
After the second stage Freire had two jerseys
How will this end?
Great stage of Freire

sutty68: Yes, this is very good what we're doing. We even moved up in the GC. One hilly stage and one time-trial to go. Hopefully we can do something great in the last hilly stage. When we're looking to the first two hilly stages it should be possible...
tmr96: Well, uhm, I think winning all four jerseys? Unfortunately there are five stages and only four jerseys. But Freire did great indeed and I'm happy with the result, although a stage win would be nice. I mean, two times we're in the breakaway which last till the finish. Maybe we have another chance tomorrow...

Volta ao Algarve – Stage 3
Stage Preview
Today was the last hilly stage here. After this stage there are a flat stage and the time-trial. But first today.
Of course we were in the breakaway. This time it was our sprinter Ian Watson. Maybe it was better if he was in the breakaway in the first or second stage, because the finishes were flat there. Today we’ll finish uphill and there are some riders in the breakaway who are better in climbing. But fortunately Watson is in very good shape.
And he showed that; he won the first mountain sprint today. One of many. But he can beat the better climbers in the breakaway.
But at the intermediate sprint the Cuban national champion Romero surprised him; Watson was second there.
But Watson was very strong uphill. Here he won another mountain sprint and once again he took some mountain points. If he’ll keep taking these points it’s likely he’ll take over the mountain jersey from Freire. And with only one mountain sprint after this stage then it’s also very likely he’ll win the jersey. But he doesn’t have it yet.
But of course he kept taking these points. Here he won; again.
But here he didn’t won. It was very close, but he was second.
And then, wow, only one kilometre to go and it looks like the breakaway would hold it. The gap to the peloton is once again three minutes. And it looks like Watson could follow the best riders of the breakaway. He’s a good sprinter, but can he go for the stage win... maybe?
YES HE CAN! What a great victory for our young sprinter! He just won a stage here. And it’s a very big surprise for us. He’s in great shape, but winning uphill from better climbers? We didn’t expect that! But it’s great!
And here he is; Ian Watson, nineteen years old, took his third victory in his career. Last year he was our first rider who ever won a stage, and immediately after that he won the classification. Now he’s our first rider who won this season, and he can go for the classification as well! What a great result!
And here he is; in the leader jersey! With two stages to go and without a good time-trialist near his position he can go for the classification! Freire and Rogers hold their positions in the peloton and they’re now on a good 3rd and 9th position. Three riders in the top ten at the moment; two more than the sponsor wants.
Watson is also leading the points classification. With an expecting mass sprint tomorrow we’ll see after tomorrow if it’s possible to win this jersey. But we’ll see; it’s not our main target.
And, after winning all those mountain sprints, Watson is the leader and winner of this jersey! We already have one award here; can we go for another one, or maybe even more?
And of course Watson is also leading the young classification, immediately followed by Freire and Rogers.
Finally we’re also leading the team classification. With a few World Tour teams here and four former world champions it’s awesome to be first in all those classifications. Hopefully we can keep this!
And of course, the newspaper from the next morning. What a great finish shot!

Looks like tmr predicted it! Complete domination in the Algarve by Hot Wheels!
It will be difficult to hold on though with the TT coming up, but who knows as Watson is in great form. |

The Rider: Yeah, his reply surprised me. We're really strong here and it's nice that our hard work and great shape pays out. The TT will be very difficult indeed. But the other riders in the Top-10 aren't good in time-trials as well. In my opinion is Philippe Gilbert, 16th, our first opponent. But the question is if can he take 2"13 back on Watson.
