Tour of California
Stage 5: Visalia – Bakersfield
Classified as a mountain stage, but the mountains come too early
With Rory tired out from yesterdays exertions, we needed to send someone into the break, just to cover those mountain points.
But we sent two instead
Marc de Maar and Alex Boyd were the two lucky guys to join 10 others in the break of the day. However, with no threat to Rory's jersey, they instead focused on keeping the break going and trying to go for the stage if it should come to it.
However, it wouldn't, as Euskaltel were the team to set the pace, and captured the break with 15km to go.
Euskaltel set a ferocious speed
The pace had shredded the peloton down to 51 riders, and Rory only had the recently captured Marc to help him stay in the bunch, which he just about managed to.
The sprint was contested between only those riders with energy left, and it was a surprising result as Iban Mayoz (Footon - Servetto) took the win, continuing to make this an amazing and surprising tour for Footon.
Mayoz takes another excellent win for Footon

I was very (pleasantly) surprised. He was one of the worst sprinters in the group, so it was nice to see him win

Tour of California
Stage 6: Palmdale – Big Bear Lake
Lots of climbing, lots of steep climbing, LOTS of suffering
With a lot of mountain points on offer today, the aim was to slip someone in the break to cover the mountain points for Rory (who was still suffering from the stage 4 effort).
Marc was that man
Unfortunately, Amets Txurruka (Euskaltel - Euskadi) wanted to go solo, and off he went, splintering the break, with Marc falling into a group where he could no longer cover those all important sprints.
Damn you and your ridiculous surname
I drove up to Marc to try and boost his effort levels:
Me: Come on Marc, we need you to get up there
Marc: I'm giving it everything Jonny, but I'm feeling -5 today
Me: You're feeling what?
Marc: Minus five
Me: What does that mean?
Marc: It means I'm feeling minus five
Me: Can you feel not minus five?
Marc: No it's gone red
Me: IT'S DONE WHAT?
Marc: Gone red. Means it won't change
Baffled, I watched the race continue as Txurruka took sprint after sprint. But more worrying was the next rider Davide Torosantucci (CDC - Cavaliere), who was much closer to Rory and was rapidly eroding his lead in the classification. 17 points, 7, 5, 3... it was excruciatingly painful to watch, and even worse for Rory, as there was nothing he could do about it.
BUT! The last sprint, and we had a saviour in the form of Matthias Ruß (Milram), who took second in front of Davide, to give Rory a hold on the jersey by 1 whole point! Celebrations would have been in order for Rory if he weren't suffering as he was dropped from a very reduced bunch.
The celebration will wait until Rory's legs stop hurting
The sprint was another statement from Footon, as this time Aitor Perez Arrieta (Footon - Servetto) took a commanding victory in front of 20 others. They really have defied all the critics so far!
Another great win for Footon. And yes, those are flakes of snow

Tour of California
Stage 7: Los Angeles (ITT)
35km through the streets of LA
Our guys didn't really have any worries about today's time trial – no real GC aims, no mountain points. Just enjoy it.
So that's what we did.
Ben Day was our fastest rider, coming home 39th, 3'23 behind eventual stage winner Denis Menchov (Rabobank).
Ben Day cycles round Los Angeles reasonably quickly
Menchov also took the overall lead, which is a shame for Valls and Footon, as they've done so well and raced so hard for that jersey. But that's cycling.
Denis Menchov cycles around Los Angeles even more quickly

Tour of California
Stage 8: Thousand Oaks – Westlake Village
A tough finish to the tour
So this is it. 4 loops of the same circuit, 4 mountain sprints for Rory to worry about. After taking it easy yesterday, his job was to slip in the break, which he did. Unfortunately, so did his rival, Davide Torosantucci (CDC – Cavaliere). A group of 10 established itself as the first climb began, but at the top, Rory must have been sleeping, as he could only manage 3rd behind Davide's 2nd – Rory was now one point BEHIND Davide.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck...
After I had some rather choice words with Rory before the next ascent, he attacked early, almost too early, but took the sprint, whilst Davide could only manage 3rd – Rory now led by 3 points.
Rory does a lot better
The third ascent, and Davide was glued to Rory's wheel, waiting for Rory to move. So Rory attacked ridiculously late, taking the sprint, and even celebrated to wind up Davide (well, he deserved it for wheel sucking).
Fuck yeah
The final ascent saw the peloton catch the break, assuring Rory of the jersey. Rory stayed in the group of 31 for the sprint (the only Caterpillar left). Damiano Cunego (Lampre) took the win by several bike lengths with ease, his second stage of the tour.
And so, Rory mounted the steps of the podium to wrap a fantastic tour for us, and something which will be a definite highlight, if not the top highlight, of our season.

Rogaland GP
Before we start: our rather speculative attempt at a Tour wildcard was rejected.
It's a day for the sprinters, and we come packed with them. The team will be led by Dean Downing , and he's got a great chance of a podium. Other favourites here are Taylor Phinney and Giovanni Visconti .
Caterpillar Team : Alexander Boyd, Ed Clancy, Hilton Clarke, Dean Downing, Guy East, Joshua England, Karl Menzies and Dean Windsor.
An 8 man breakaway went, but we weren't concerned with that, as they were brought in with 20km left by a combined effort between CCC Polsat and ISD. Our train was immensely strong today, consisting of Menzies-England-Clarke-Clancy-Downing. We got going with 5km left, with Karl Menzies storming to the front and putting us in prime position when he peeled off.
Karl is a machine!
The sprint was a tight affair, but Ed Clancy delivered Dean perfectly, and Dean accelerated across the line to take a fantastic win, with Ed holding on for 3rd.
That's what I'm talking about!
What a great finish to a great month!

May ProTour round-up
May is the first Grand Tour of the year, the Giro d'Italia. And this year, the Shark of Messina dominated it, as Vincenzo Nibali took his first grand tour win. The Liquigas rider won by 2 minutes over Phillip Deignan (Cervélo Test Team), who took 7 minutes on everyone on the penultimate stage after an incredible solo breakaway, also giving him the KOM too. Stefano Garzelli (Acqua & Sapone) took third, over 5 minutes down. The points jersey went to Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre), making it a great Giro for the Italians, and the best young rider was Robert Kiserlovski (Liquigas).

Caterpillar Cycling May Review
Posted online at www.catcycling.com direct from Director Sportif Jonny Clayton
What a month! We've had some season defining results this month, defining the season for all the right reasons. In California, we were the second most talked about team (after Footon), and rightly so, whilst we finished the season off back in Europe in spectacular fashion.
Results:
-- GP Herning: Dean Downing 9th, Hilton Clarke 10th.
-- Tour of California: Rory Sutherland 25th in GC, 1st (Stage 4), 1st in KOM;
-- Rogaland GP: Dean Downing 1st; Ed Clancy 3rd; Hilton Clarke 9th.

Rider of the Month: Rory Sutherland
Rory's win on stage 4 of the Tour of California will always be one of the best moments for the Caterpillar team. It was such a high profile win, and he did it in such amazing fashion, that I've already got a picture of it on my wall. Not only that, but the way he responded to a challenge to his jersey of best climber was nothing short of impeccable
Next Month:
June will see us travel across Europe, starting in Germany with the Schwarzwald Rundfahrt, then going to the Delta Tour Zeeland in the Netherlands before finishing up in France with the Route du Sud. For our Americans and Brits though, they have their national championships to look forward to.
Ciao for now!
