yes...well...this wasn´t the best race for Monster...but i´m sure E3-prijs will be yours...
I don't want to spoil the surprise, but you're wrong....
The E3-prijs, the first race in the weekend before the Ronde van Vlaanderen. 201km in the surrounding of Harelbeke.
Last year's edition was won by Fabian Cancellara. It was the first step for Spartacus towards the Ronde-Roubaix double:
Favourites:
*** Fabian Cancellara, Juan-Antonio Flecha, Tom Boonen
** Sebastian Langeveld, Thor Hushovd, Johan van Summeren
* Matti Breschel, George Hincapie, Niki Terpstra
When we reach the hills, there is already a big surprise: Favourite Tom Boonen is in the BOTD! Apparantly, he wants to test his legs in a different way then his opponents. He's accompanied by Preben van Hecke (Topsport Vlaanderen) and Bert De Waele & Koen Barbé (Landbouwkrediet). They get a maximum advantage of 6 minutes.
When the 4 Belgians reach the Oude Kwaremont, with still 35km to go, the lead has been cut back to 3'30. BMC and Garmin-Cervélo are the teams in the peloton (well, you can't call 30 riders a peloton) who keep the pace up high.
With 23km to go, Juan-Antonio Flecha decides to give it a go and he jumps to the breakaway.
We still have 4 riders left in the chasing group: Terpstra, Maaskant, Rosseler and Vanmarcke. Rosseler has the best legs and still has some energy left, so the other 3 decide to race for him and close the gap. With 10km to go, a 26-man group comes together. Then there's an attack from Sebastian Langeveld. Probably, the Dutch rider thinks he can't win in a sprint and gives it all.
But he can't make it to the fiish. Flecha and Cancellara counterattack and leave Langeveld behind with 5km to go.
Flecha has lost too much energy in his earlier attack, and doesn't stand a chance against Spartacus. This is the first win this season for Cancellara, and he is ready for next weekend! 20 seconds waiting, and Flecha's takes 2nd place, just in front of George Hincapie. Rosseler chooses the wheel of Thor Hushovd to sprint, but where Hushovd takes the 4th place, Rosseler only finish in 18th place.....

It looks like we haven't learned from Dwars door Vlaanderen... Although Rosseler finishes in the group of favourites, the 18th place is even worse. Okay, we have 4 riders in the best 25, but I'll call the riders for a urgent tactics meeting tonight. We should do better in Gent-Wevelgem and the Ronde and Paris-Roubaix...

While some of the riders are having difficulties to keep up their pace on the Belgian cobbles, 8 other Monster-riders go to the isle of Corsica for this year's Critérium International. A 3-stage race, won with a mountain-top finish, won short sprint-stage and one short ITT.
Yes, the debut of Andy Schleck for Monster Energy. Do we expect anything from him? No, his fitness is only 56. and his goal is to get in shape for the Ardennes classiques.
Stage 1:
At the foot of today's final climb, the Col de l'Ospedale, there are only 2 of the remaining breakaways left: Saxo's Jésus Hernández and Laurent Pichon from Bretagne-Schuller. The final climb is 14.2km long with an average gradient of 6.2%, and a maximum of over 10%.
Hernández is the best climbr of the 2 and tries to reach the summit alone. Jelle Vanendert makes the pace in the peloton and it is pretty fast. Andy Schleck can follow, together with 15 others. 2 km before the finish Cristophe Kern attacks and passes poor Hernández.
The Franch Europcar cyclist creates a small gap to Nicholas Roche (ALM) and Carlos Barredo (Rab) and takes the win. Schleck finishes in 13th place, 39 seconds behind Kern. Vanendert gets 15th place.

2nd stage:
In this 75km stage around Porto Vecchio, Monster's Romain Zingle tries to get in the breakaway. He succeeds but it costs a lot of energy. Europcar tries to catch the BOTD, but doesn't succeed. In the sprint with the 5-man group, it's Matthieu Ladagnous (Francaise de Jeux) who takes the win, with Kevyn Ista (Cofidis) in 2nd and Koen de Kort (Skil) in 3rd. Zingle finishes in 5th. Theo Bos wins the sprint of the peloton and gets the same time as Ladagnous. No changes in the GC.

Because I didn't had a GC contender and had no motivation to play this stage (shame on me) I simulated it.

Vuelta de Catalunya:
I didn't request for a wildcard, so here are the results:
Ryder Hesjedal wins for Garmin - Cervélo in a pretty weak field. He didn't get a stage win, but still managed to beat Michael Albasini (HTC) and Iván Gutiérrez (Movistar). Still an excellent effort by the Canadian!
Today we'll ride this 235km long cobbled classic, which is mostly known of the Kemmelberg (and to be exactly, of it's feared ascent. Last year it was won by Bernhard Eisel.
After yesterday's disastrous E3-prijs, I'll give you a summary of our tactics meeting of today: We'll be in every attack there is. It doesn't care what rider, as long as there is someone in it!
So, after numerous attempts of Sebastien Rosseler (who got reeled in by Garmin and Sky every single time), it is Sep Vanmarcke who succeeds in it. He gets away in a group of some disastrous cobbles-riders such as Sylvester Szmyd and Lampre's Niemiec. Luckily for him, also Maarten Wynants (Rabobank) and Christian Knees (Sky) are in the BOTD. Here they climb the Kemmelberg for the first time, the lead to the peloton is about 6 minutes.
Although he climbs in a pretty slow pace, he manages to create a gap, so Vanmarcke decides to continue alone. Not the best scenario, but the others are too weak to continue with them. Climbing the Kemmelberg for the 2nd time, the gap has decreased to 3'00 with about 40km to go.
Belgian champ Stijn Devolder, Greg van Avermaet (BMC) and Geraint Thomas (Sky) lead the peloton in chasing Vanmarcke.
WIth 25km to go, Vanmarcke still has a lead of 1'45. The chasing group is a true elite group: Quinziato, van Avermaet and Ballan (BMC), Cancellara (Leopard), Devolder (Vacansoleil), Haussler, Klier & Hushovd (Garmin), Arvesen & Thomas (Sky) and Monster's Niki Terpstra.
Vanmarcke gets exhausted, fights against cramp in his thighs and is passed by Fabian Cancellara, who is looking for the E3-GW double.
But also Spartacus can't fight against the teams with numerous advantage in the chasing group and with 5km to go, everything is together again. Also Philippe Gilbert, Matti Breschel, Juan Antonio Flecha, Filippo Pozzato, Luca Paolini, Johan Vansummeren, Lars Boom, George Hincapie and Martin Elmiger join the group, thanks to the outstanding work of Lars Boom.
But when the pace drops, and everyone is getting ready for the sprint (and Terpstra takes the wheel of Hushovd, while Vanmarcke falls of his bike because of the cramps), Cancellara jumps again. And this time, no one can stop the Swiss machine. What a great double! For sure, he is THE favourite for teh Ronde van Vlaanderen! Ballan gets 2nd, Hushovd 3rd, and Terpstra can finish in 10th place.

2 Alessandro Ballan BMC Racing Team s.t.

After 2 disastrous classics, we can be more satisfied now. Sep Vanmarcke did a great job of riding solo for many kilometres, and in the end Terpstra got a top 10. We don't count ourselves in the list of favourites for the Ronde (we simply aren't good enough to beat Cancellara, Flecha, etc), so we'll aim fo ra top 10 there. Should be realistic!
Edited by dienblad on 22-08-2011 22:08
IN the first stage, we decide to give it a go for the KOTM-jersey. Sep Vanmarcke gets in the breakaway nd again he's too strong for his fellow breakaways.
He gets caught with 20km to go, and after that it will be a mass sprint between 20 riders. Martijn Maaskant tried it with a jump on the last hill but didn't succeed, and we all know by know that Niki Terpstra ain't the best sprinter. So it;'s the world champ Thor Hushovd with the win, in front of Greg van Avermaet. Strangely, they get a 17 second gap to the rest of the group.

Stage 3:
A short stage, but again the sprint train works terrible....
2nd stage win for Greipel, only 12th for Keukeleire (I really need to work this sprinttrain work out... 2 riders with about 75 in fkat and 68 in sprint up front, dot on 95, enough green/red/yellow left, then last lead out 72 flat and 72 sprint, and sprinter with 76 sprint...)

So the world champ wins the Driedaagse De Panne - Koksijde. Greg van Avermaet gets a great 2nd, with the German Gorilla in 3rd. Niki Terpstra scores some good CT-points for Monster, with place 7.
Our tactic is to get one rider in the BOTD and stay easy in the peloton where Theo Bos can go for a sprint win.
And we get one rider in the BOTD, it's Rob Ruijgh, who rides a home race. Together with Joost van Leijen (Vacansoleil), Jempy Drucker (Veranda Willems), H. Zubeldia (Radioshack) and 5 others they take a maximum lead of 4'30.
When the hills are done, with 20km to go, the lead is still 1'33.
Then in the peloton the pace drops, and the BOTD knows that they're gonna sprint for the win. The lead is still 1'48 with 10km left.
The 2 best sprinters in the BOTD jump away from everyone: Joost van Leijen and Jempy Drucker.
Van Leijen really deserves the win. He did the most work in the break and wins the race in his home country!
25 seconds later, Zubeldia finishes 3th and Ruijgh only in 8th place.
The peloton finishes 55 seconds back.
A great win by Van Leijen!

The Ronde van Vlaanderen, de Hoogmis, Vlaanderens Mooiste, Flanders Tour, our simply: de Ronde.
Thé most important cycling race in Belgium, 258km from Brugge to Meerbeke, with 17 climbs (some of them cobbled) with famous names as Oude Kwaremont, Koppenberg and of course de Muur van Geraardsbergen / Kapelmuur.
The 2010-edition was won by an outstanding Fabian Cancellara. Spartacus was alone up front with Tom Boonen, accelerated at the summit of the Kapelmuur, and won by ver a minute. With his wins in the E3-prijs and Gent-Wevelge, he's for sure THE man to beat!
So here we go! After numerous attempts by riders with cobbled stats of under 60 (:roll, it was a 5-man group who got away: Stijn Devolder (Vacansoleil), Leif Hoste (Kathusha), Grégory Rast (Radioshack), Maarten Tjallingii (Rabobank) and.... Coen Vermeltfoort (Monster).
Climbing the Oude Kwaremont, with still 81km to go, the lead is 6'46.
At the summit of the Eikenberg (56km to go), Rabobank's Tjallingii decides that he is better off alone and starts his adventure. The lead to the group of favourites is still 4'51.
The peloton gets smaller and smaller, and only Niki Terpstra and Martijn Maaskant are in it after the Valkenberg. Tjallingii has started the climb of the Kapelmuur, with about 17km to go. Due to some bug, he even has to get over the roof of a house!!
The group behinds him splits at the Kapelmuur. The reigning world champ Thor Hushovd feels he is the strongest today and attacks. He's only 2'40 behind Tjallingii!
He is chased by a 4-man group consisting of Fabian Cancellara, Alessandro Ballan, Greg van Avermaet and Johan Vansummeren.
Then come CHavanel, Boonen, Flecha, Devolder, Leukemans, Hoste, Gilbert, Rast and Hincapie.
Niki Terpstra had to let them go in the climb of the Kapelmuur, but tries to come back in the descend.
The last climb of the day is the Bosberg, with only 12km to go. The lead of Tjallingii is cut down to 1'09. Hushovd is in 2nd, then comes the goup Cancellara-Ballan-Van Avermaet-Flecha-Vansummeren at 1'41. Terpstra is 3'48 back.
With 7km to go, it is over for Tjallingii, Hushovd has caught him and the Norwegian bear rides away from him! Flecha is in 3rd, 47 seconds behind, and just 17 seconds in front of Cancellara.
Yes, he's for sure the strongest of the day! What a fantastic victory for the World champ!
Flecha outsprints Spartacus for place 2.
Terpstra finishes in 16th in a group with Devolder and Van Avermaet.

Only 16th place, of course we can't be happy with that. It seems, I can't figure out how to handle the fast following hills. WIth staying in the front, the riders lose to much energy, but when they're more in the back, they'll lose contact....
Edited by dienblad on 23-08-2011 20:23
@ jt1109: Thx, when I've the time (and I feel like doing this) I'll try to change it.
@ Alakagom: Yes, the team will be a good World Tour-team, because of the decent results. We're trying to get a big results, but our best riders (A. Schleck and R. Gesink) save themselves for the GT's
Some good news:
We got a lot of wildcards: Paris - Roubaix, Amstel Gold Race, Fleche Wallonne and the Giro d'Italia!! Very happy with this.
While the team for the Ardennes classics prepares themselves for the Amstel Gold Race and following races in the Circuit de Sarthe, our cobbles-riders will start in the Scheldeprijs. The race will for sure end in a mass sprint!

Our team:
It will be very hard to win the Scheldeprijs, with sprinters as Steegmans, Ciolek, Swift, Henderson and McEwen in it. So the goal will be a top 5.
The start is in the city of Antwerpen, near the river the Schelde (and that's why it's called Scheldeprijs . The finish is in Schoten, after 190km of cycling.
Summary of the race: a BOTD gets away, Sky and Quick Step chase them and with 10km to go everything is together. Today we'll try to set up our own sprint train: Martijn Maaskant - Lieuwe Westra - Coen Vermeltfoort - Jens Keukeleire. WIth 5km to go we take the lead.
But Maaskant loses speed, so or last man Keukeleire gets closed in.... Up front it is a great battle between Greg Henderson and Gert Steegmans. It's the Sky-rider who takes the lead with 1km to go and doesn't get passed. A great win by the Aussie!
Vermeltfoort is the best Monster-rider with place 8, one place in front of Keukeleire.
