FIRST STAGE : SAN PEDRO DEL PINATAR - LORCA
The breakaway
Our sprint train is in a great position so far
and this position becomes more and more better!!!Markov is in front behind him is Serov and Swift who will be our sprint leader.
So the sprint is beginning right now, and everything looks great today.
With only 1 km to go we have a great projection.It looks like the best sprint i´ve ever managened.
And that´s it Swift is the winner!!Serov even becomes second and Markov fourth.What an amazing sprint final for us!!!
I know it looks to easy for you but i will never have such an amazing sprintEverything was perfect today above all the fitness of our sprinters.

STAGE 2 : LAS TORRES DE COTILLAS - CARAVACA
Only one who attacked in the beginning.It´s Cummings from Barloworld.
The sprint trains and today we probably can´t sprint for the stage win.
Swift is almost alone , only Markov is fighting for him to take him into a good positon but it doesn´t look very well!!
Astana´s sprint train is great.They will ride for Bazayev.
The sprint begins and Swift has no chance to get a podium or a top 5 result.
The last km!And Bazayev is in front it was a good lead out of Astana.
Bazayev is the winner today, well done.Swift takes the 9th place.
Of course there was a big increase today so we can say that our sprinters had to fight there a lot.And they have lost their energy on this climb.
Sorry i forgot to export the results:

STAGE 4 : SAN PEDRO DEL PINATAR
The breakaway
The first attacks on the final mountain comes from Plaza and Menchov.
Then Leipheimer goes after them.
Karpets makes his move , he takes the backwheel of Levi for that.
On the downhill there is a very big group with all favorites.Karpets is also there.
6 km to go.
And a few metres before the sprint begins Karpets tries to get a little gap between him and the group.
It´s the last km for Karpets!!He is still in front but the others come really fast.
In the end it was very close but Karpets could defend his leading position. He strikes back and wins the fourth stage!!

FINAL STAGE : SAN JAVIER - MURCIA
The breakaway
Karpets attacks on the small hill 10 km before the finish line.
After the "KOM" Karpets, César Veloso and Kireyev are in front.
And with only 1 km to go Karpets is in front.
But César Veloso takes the backwheel of Karpets and so he sprints to the stage win but Karpets is on the podium for the second time!!
Good result for us.

hi i will post the first stage later.
the leader ehm yes that´s a very good question boskardo
we don´t have a leader but ivanov and botcharov are the most important riders for us.
you know there is a very hard mountain at the 6th stage i think so ivanov can´t be the great leader because he will a loose time there maybe.
but we will see..... |
