Gora Euskadi! | Vuelta Summary
Shonak
Vuelta a Espana, 2013


Stage 10
i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/stages%202013/eus_0110_zpsdeb002d4.jpg
No rest for the wicked they say, and truly – one has to be a bit crazy to want to compete in such a stage. Euskaltel – Euskadi are on a recent string of a success and we wish to continue you that. Ahead of tomorrow’s rest day, you can expect that nobody takes it lightly and Euskaltel – Euskadi will have to throw everything in if they want to gain an advantage on SKY, AG2R La Mondiale and Movistar.

Since it worked yesterday so good, of course we sent someone up in the break again. After all, we have an obligation to attack! Jorge Azanza is accompanied by Lloyd, Peter Velits, Bernaudeau, Bole and Ballan.

Iglinskiy and Weening joined the group and together they all get quite a lead up to the peloton with currently 8 minutes. However, two tough mountains lie ahead of the riders. Jorge Azanza achieved a third place at the Tour de France, will he be able to even top it this time around?

Despite their efforts, the break’s lead decreases rather fast at the Alto del monachil. Azanza and Iglinskiy pace but SKY use Froome to dictate the speed… so yeah…

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1302_48_59-Greenshot_zpsa1ff8fe1.jpg

Froome and Henao due some serious damage to the peloton. Many riders are dropped and even Nieve struggles at the end of the first group. Only Sánchez is with him, while Antón, Verdugo and Landa missed an important split and are looking to make up ground fast… In the descent later on, after the summit, Nieve even loses for some time the peloton for good… Jeez, what’s up? This angers even Katu now and he tells him to get his ass upfront but Nieve’s legs… well, they ain’t too good today.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1302_51_10-Greenshot_zps0172f00f.jpg

It was a wild descent, and now it was good to sent Azanza up front. He can help Sánchez and Nieve a bit, while Antón, Verdugo and Landa still havn’t caught up and won’t do anymore. Henao paces now… SKY is really swining around the hammer today.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1302_52_22-Greenshot_zps5862ddf6.jpg

Will we lose it all today? What's their to lose anyway? Nieve has an godawful day… as he can’t come up front, over and over again he tries it though. Henao and Valverde attack now.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1302_54_54-Greenshot_zpsd2572a04.jpg

While AG2R La Mondiale and Caja Rural look to get back Valverde and Henao into the group, Nieve finally seems to have collected himself. Sánchez is now left to protect his leader for the Vuelta…

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1302_56_27-Greenshot_zps0b4686bc.jpg

We really don’t know what’s up with Nieve today. He struggles hard as can be. While Sánchez can easily keep the pace of AG2R, Nieve has even here its problems. Granted, the many obstacles of Caja Rural riders who are dropping left and right, blocking the way, doesn’t really help to navigate up the mountain, but come on, man… get a grip! Gora Mikel!

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1302_57_56-Greenshot_zps3d0fc324.jpg

Henao and Valverde lose some time on the Betancur group. Dupont and Bouet did some great work for their team leader, only Froome could hold up… we can see the two Euskaltel – Euskadi riders down there too but with some gap. Sánchez had to drop himself to get back to Nieve who he is probably having the worst day of the entire Vuelta… hopefully…

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1302_59_44-Greenshot_zpsc452baf7.jpg

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1303_00_30-Greenshot_zps7f3eb4cc.jpg

Froome and the two french are now being dropped by Betancur who gets close to Valverde and Henao. We are just losing the podium for good… We think. But Sánchez does some incredible work, really utterly incredible, as he brings back Nieve to Group Froome and together they pass them now…

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1303_01_38-Greenshot_zpsa5be01fb.jpg

The last kilometer, Betancur looks to Henao, while Valverde is already accelerating hard…

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1303_02_25-Greenshot_zpsd7540e2b.jpg

It’s as close as it can gets. Betancur takes the stage win ahead of Valverde and Henao.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1303_03_07-Greenshot_zpsf3ec2787.jpg

A bit later, Sánchez shows in a just 500 meters sprint what could have been possible for me. Damn, his daily legs seemed like normal, just like Nieve’s. But somehow that all got reversed. Sánchez was incredible today. Without him, Nieve would have lost way more, and Samu Sánchez showed why he is such an immense rider: Not because he can win or because he is a leader, no, because he works for you – even when you are already on the floor…

Stage 11
i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/stages%202013/eus_0111_zps8fc12730.jpg
This 36 kilometer long time trial featuring the Alto del Moncayo in the middle features one clear favourite: Chris Froome. Despite not being in his Tour de France form, the Briton still has probably a TT advantage over all other competitors. Starting in Tarazona are guys will give their best to get the power output and effort right, so they have a good time when they arrive back in Tarazona.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_42_04-Greenshot_zps7b4ff0ec.jpg

I tune in late on the TV after I over-slept today. Samuel Sánchez is just getting ready to start the race. I called one of the mechanics and they said that our guys are still trying to figuring out the most balanced effort but alas, Samu gotta start. Having shown previously a strong performance on stage 10, we expect him to prove his recent sign of good shape.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_43_59-Greenshot_zps06b1bfe8.jpg

And four minutes later, Mikel Nieve hits the road too.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_46_12-Greenshot_zps687a108d.jpg

Samuel Sánchez is really flying up this mountain as he comes to close to Velasco and is eager to set up a new best time at the intermediate. Meanwhile, Mikel Landa is currently only 14 seconds after Philippe Gilbert on 2nd place in the finish.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_47_26-Greenshot_zps37700e2a.jpg

And yes, he takes the best intermediate time and now the fun part comes for him… the downhill! This will show if our strategy was right. If Samu loses time on the downhill than something wasn’t quite good enough.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_48_47-Greenshot_zpsc51747ce.jpg

Froome is over a minute behind Samuel Sánchez at the intermediate. We can already spot Mikel Nieve from up here. Thanks Helicopter guy! However when Mikel passes, he is already 45 seconds behind Samu.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_50_53-Greenshot_zpsc14e36ff.jpg

Only about 4 kilometers left for Samu, and he really crushes down the downhill after taking some time to recover and getting passed by Velasco again. However, when Samu decides to step it up again, he gets rid of Velasco for good. That’s a good sign, isn’t it?

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_52_17-Greenshot_zpsb35579a3.jpg

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_52_52-Greenshot_zpsd5cf7ba5.jpg

Samu takes the current lead, 11 seconds ahead of Luis Leon Sánchez. But will it be enough? He lost quite more time in the downhill than we hoped!

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_54_24-Greenshot_zpse7dd260f.jpg

A bit later, Mikel Nieve crosses the finish line. He has about one minute gap on Samu for good. Froome has had 45 seconds. Three riders left. Henao was the best at the intermediate ahead of Valverde. Betancur had quite a time gap on both of them, with nearly a minute on Henao at the intermediate. +

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_55_51-Greenshot_zps09935aef.jpg

Henao sees Betancur up front… this one will be close. Valverde gained time on Samu too, but in the end was 30 seconds behind our orange boy. The Colombian is the only one who can take away the stage win from Samu now.

Gora Samu, Gora duxili, Gora Euskadi!

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1401_57_19-Greenshot_zps5be25ad0.jpg

But he doesn’t! Henao misses out on the stage win by 5 seconds. 5 seconds is more than enough for us and Samu to celebrate the stage win. A great day for the team, which also puts him ahead of Froome in the General Classification. Yeah. Take that, Team Sky, talk about some great team performers with 3 riders in the Top 10. Gorka Verdugo and Mikel Landa proved their amazing form too today. But obviously nothing beats the joy of Samu today, as he has shown everybody that he is still one of the finest riders we have and any day of the week capable of winning a Grand Tour stage. True, he wasn’t on his best at the Giro d’Italia, but he looks eager to fight for the podium.

“Oh, what might have been possible if we had put more trust into Samu…”, I regretfully whisper to Katu, who fully knows what I mean by that. With many race days already in his legs and a disappointing Giro d’Italia, we didn’t expect much from our greatest and oldest rider. But he surely has stuffed our mouth. Proved anyone wrong who said he was lacking the bite of earlier years or was getting too old. Not competitive enough. Fed up. He is none of that. Gora Samu, we celebrate our second stage win!

Samu is awesome Grin

It does create a difficult/interesting tactical situation though...

I hoped he will get some space thanks to his classification, I was proud of his 4th place.

But I didn't see the ITT stage win coming Embarassed

Thanks guys! Things are truly running in Euskaltel's favor right now. 3 wins in just a couple of days? We surely must feel like Omega Pharma or Argos Shimano. Shock

Vuelta a Espana, August 2013


Stage 12
i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/stages%202013/eus_0112_zpscefe4f2a.jpg
Well, obviously don’t expect anything from Euskaltel – Euskadi today. We try to save our powers as best as possible, making it over these two upcoming flat stages without crashes and time losses. Then we are happy. Just nice and easy, in an orderly fashion, we will ride in the peloton. Like it behaves for little orange boys hoping to get some stage wins in the mountains stages yet to come.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1402_20_22-Greenshot_zps12f0ef42.jpg

So everything is as we expected it and as we hoped. It’s a calm day for our boys. A breakaway was large parts of the stage upfront, but they will soon be caught. Albasini (OGE) is once more in a group, alongside Paulinho, Belkov, Hunter, De Negri and Ubeto. They are not likely going to make it as the sprint teams do now major parts of the work. We see us at the 10 kilometer sign.

So yeah, 15 kilometers later we get into the final 10 kilometers and well, they are about to get caught. We get one last eye on the 6 riders in the break and in a matter of eyelashes, the sprint will be open.

Omega Pharma have taken full control of the situation. However, Greipel and Sagan are nowhere to be seen. While the german is likely to come forward in a few seconds, Sagan has been wildly invisible during the bunch sprints so far, while earlier putting his focus on the hilly stages. The Cannondale riders upfront are Haedo and Vandborg.

There comes the train. Argos – Shimano come up front behind in the last corner. Sinkeldam leads out, Degenkolb on his wheel. Kittel hopefully to finish it off.

When Trentin does his thing for british champion Cavendish, Degenkolb and Kittel go a bit insane as they switch from the right lane to the left. They push away Kristoff and Haedo a bit there, and Degenkolb launches his lead-out now.

Something’s just not right as Degenkolb was way too fast for Kittel to start with. The german young star isn’t really on top of himself during the two Grand Tours he did this year. Cavendish looks set to take the win, but Kristoff might snatch another one too as he comes up very fast.

Damn, talk about a clear sprint victory. Omega Pharma did once more everything right. Cavendish is just too strong for anyone to beat!

Stage 13
i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/stages%202013/eus_0113_zps38e8e388.jpg
Same procedure as yesterday. You know the drill. From Valls to Castelldefels, we see some mountains, but the long flat finish should make a very interesting sprint in the end, likely by a breakaway.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1403_00_31-Greenshot_zps83e0e69e.jpg

With quite a gap on the peloton, the 6 riders head through this town and soon arrive at the foot of Port del Rat Penat who offers some serious damaging gradient of easily over 10%. Albasini and Hunten both tried their luck today once more after being in the break yesterday too. Alongside them are Iglinskiy (AST), Gatto (VIN), Devolder (RTL) and Martens (BEL).

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1403_03_14-Greenshot_zpsb4a19f8b.jpg

Told you. It’s really steep up here, and Hunten and Devolder can be seen struggling. They are not meant for such climbs, that is to say, they are not really riders for any sort of climb. Martens and Iglinskiy push the hardest.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1403_04_48-Greenshot_zps851cb220.jpg

But luckily the climb isn’t too long. Only 2 kilometers left, while the peloton just hit the foot of the climb. Hunter and Devolder both stayed at the front of the race during the steepest part, so there chances for the stage win are quite intact.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1403_06_14-Greenshot_zps958beb7a.jpg

But then, Iglinskiy and Albasini both decide that their best chance is to attack. Hunter is quite a great downhiller so he may have a chance to get back though after being dropped here.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1403_08_10-Greenshot_zps03aae606.jpg

Hunter gets back into the break but it’s not easy for him, he can’t quite keep the pace in the downhill. Meanwhile, Anthony Roux makes the idiot move of the day so far as he attacks. The breakaway is around 10 minutes ahead by now and with only 35 kilometers left, it’s clear that one of the breakawayees will take the stage win. Since Roux isn’t riding for general classification, we think he just might want to get the 7th place or show himself.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1403_12_13-Greenshot_zps1c2b9be8.jpg

With only 2 minutes left, the break goes into the final sprint. Hunter looks good on 2nd place, Martens leads right now though. Gatto on Hunter’s backwheel might have the best position.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1403_13_15-Greenshot_zps659eadda.jpg

It’s now between Gatto and Martens. The german opened up the sprint and quickly got a big lead upon his rivals but Gatto came strong back on the last hundred meters.

i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b543/Sh0nak/Gora%20Euskadi/08_2013/2014-01-1403_14_26-Greenshot_zpseafbd40e.jpg

And yes, it’s Gatto who takes the stage win for PCT Vini Fantini. A great success for this Italian team that has shown with many attacks over the weeks, that their wildcard invitation was justified. Degenkolb wins the bunch sprint in the peloton.
