Things are looking good for us at the moment, but only the mountain jersey is safe. The GC can still be decided on bonus seconds and Ludvigsson can't afford mistakes to keep hold of the youth jersey.
I believe in the guys, and with the battle for green still being so close Thomas shouldn't feel to sure that he will get something home from here!

My money is on Hushovd for the GC

Tour of Britain
Stage 7: Bury St.Edmonds-Colchester
Even flatter than yesterday, so pretty much same strategy. Depending on how the stage evolves we might have a go at the three intermediate sprints.
The first break of the day get away surprisingly easy, but Orica – GreenEdge quickly show that they haven’t changed their attitude towards the race.
The attacking keeps on going so the first sprint is taken by a group of breakers.
The second sprint is taken by Thor ahead of a small group of breakaway riders. Thor is now in the lead of the points competition.
After that sprint several groups try to break away but it took a group with no Falcons to get the “Go” from Orica, so with 33 km to go Taylor Phinney has one minute to Rathe and Förster and 4’30’’ to the peloton.
Once again we leave the work to the teams, who actually have something to win by reeling in the break…
With 20 km to go the peloton seem to give up on the chase and start preparing for a sprint to the 4th place.
Phinney takes the victory comfortably, while Davis once again is the strongest on the line.
Thanks to the bonus seconds Thor won early on the stage Geraint Thomas is now 24 seconds behind. That means he can no longer take the GC win thanks to bonus seconds! On top of that Hushovd now holds the points jersey 1 point ahead of Thomas before the last stage.

Stage 8: London (Newham)
A short stage expected to be a feast for the sprinters, but we must not underestimate the hills on the route.
Plenty of attacking at first but on a stage as short as this one no one is really allowed away.
As usual the break is allowed to go as soon as we don’t send a rider in there. This is getting kind of annoying!
Once again Orica – GreenEdge take charge of chasing the sprint.
For us it’s all about Hushovd vs Thomas.
Orica gets rewarded for their work.
With 500 m both Hushovd and Thomas is far back in the group and pretty much level.
On the line Thor was the fastest thus making sure to win the green jersey as well as the yellow.

Vuelta a España
Just a quick overview of the last week in the Vuelta
The Last Mountains
In this last week Purito proved he was the strongest and most consistent on the climbs and that way he built a lead of more than five minutes before the final TT.
Getting Desperate
We really wanted a stage win, so the guys just kept on trying every day. Once again Kjell was the closest with his 2nd place on stage 18.
Stage 19 was not only the last chance to get the stage win, but Kjell actually had a chance to win the mountain jersey as well.
He did very good throughout the stage, but on the very last hill Rodríguez picked up just enough points to take the jersey back.
Another day alone
One final Timetrial to decide the GC. Purito had more than five minutes, so the victory was quite certain but the places 2-5 was within a few minutes so the rest of the podium was up for grabs.
Cancellara took another win ahead of Samuel Sánchez.
Stage Winners
Stage 16: Nicholas Roche, AG2R La Mondiale
Stage 17: Joaquím Rodríguez, Katusha
Stage 18: Carlos Barredo, Rabobank
Stage 19: Diego Ulissi, Lampre - ISD
Stage 20: Fabian Cancellara, RadioShack - Nissan
Stage 21: Pierrick Fédrigo

Thanks for the support. We just didn't have that last bit of luck in the Vuelta. Carlström was in the decisive break at least four days two of those he finished second so we wasn't far from a stage win.
And then losing the mountain jersey with 3 pts on the very last hill of the race. Guess it's fair to say that Purito is a slightly better climber than Kjell Carlström so no shame in losing to him...
Coming right up: World Championships!

World ITT Championships
The obvious favourites today is Tony Martin, Cancellara and Wiggins. The only of these who have shown anything lately is Cancellara.
The Swiss rider was flying all through the Vuelta, so the question is if he has been able to maintain his good form or he has topped too early. Another rider to keep an eye on will be American Taylor Phinney who showed tremendous form in Tour of Britain and is developing in to a great TT-rider.
As for the Nordic riders (Finland is not participating) both Denmark and Sweden has sent riders in good form namely Alex Rasmussen and Gustav Larsson. The Norwegians will clearly be hoping for Boasson Hagen, but his current form is a big question. Still I hope to be able to cheer him to victory as I will be riding in the car behind him.
In the surprising department as many as six unemployed riders will be riding today.
While waiting for the Norwegian riders to go out I keep an eye on future Falcon Fuglsang. He is only provisional 5th at the first intermediate, so he’s not having the best of days.
My first rider is Fredrik Wilmann. He is probably the fittest of the Norwegians, but it will be highly surprising if he pulls of a top-result. In goal he gets a provisional 8th while Fuglsang surprises everyone with the worst time so far.
Mads Christensen might be a man for a surprise as he gets provisional 5th behind Phinney when he passes the first intermediate. The American continues his strong effort and gets provisional best while Christensen surprising is 6th at this time.
Only Falcon in action today is Danish Champion Lasse Bøchman.
Surprisingly Christina Watches – Onfone rider Intxausti takes full advantage of the hill and beats Phinney by 3 seconds!
No World Champion for the Danish CT-team though as Boom catches up with Nordhaug 4 km from goal looking to set a new best time. 19 seconds faster than the Spaniard.
Bøchman is not in top shape at the moment but still manage a provisional 8th, certainly approved from me!
Only defender of the Swedish pride today is Larsson. He does well getting provisional 3rd on the first intermediate. The hill was too much for the Swede and he only manage a provisional 7th on the 2nd intermediate and a 9th in finish.
Edvald is fighting his best all day, but he just isn’t fit enough today. I hope I can cinvince him to replace Sky with my team after next season - then I'll make a World Champion of him!
Alex Rasmussen is looking surprisingly strong as he gets provisional best in the first intermediate! Hills are not his best friends but he still manage a 2nd 1 second behind Boom with 10 km to go and 11 seconds behind in finish.
On both intermediate times Bobridge completely destroyed all competition. In fact he even passed Tejay Van Garderen short before the finish line.
Cancellara is strong today as he catches up with Luis Leon Sanchez, and that is just enough to beat the young Australian by 9 seconds.
Defending champion Tony Martin has been trailing by a few seconds on both intermediate times, but does that mean he has saved energy for the last kilometers?
No! Bronze for the German and a historic five wins for the Swiss.
As a Dane I'm proud to see Alex doing so well today.
As a team manager of Falcon - STARK I'm proud to see Lasse finishing 20th though not in great shape.
As a major part of The Nordic Cycling Project I'm thrilled to see as many as four Nordic riders in the top 20!
