Paris-Nice - Preview

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/paris_nice_banner.jpg

This year's route is quite varied. While most top-sprinters are at the Tirreno, there are still 3 stages for them to take out. Then the hills begin before the final, deciding time-trial. A strong puncher or climber with good TT skills should win here.

GreenEDGE Plan

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/parisniceteam.jpg

Simon Gerrans is our leader. He doesn't have great form due to his crash, but he should still get some decent results. We aim for a top-20. Tomas Vaitkus and Robbie McEwen will be our sprinters, but because of Tomas' good form he should be no. 1. We expect at least a couple of top-10s. I will just do my job in the peloton to help out Simon and maybe Pieter Weening if he's feeling good.

@andy222c Thanks man. It will be tough but we'll see..

Paris-Nice - Stage 1

Danny's Plan

I will just sit tight in the peloton doing the rounds. Simon will try join the break, win some bonus seconds, while Tomas will sprint at the finish.

Race Report

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic1.jpg

The weather today was crappy to say the least. But that didn't stop Simon from attacking, and taking third place on the KoM sprint.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic2.jpg

Joining Simon were about 12 other riders. A strong group containing names like Mark Renshaw (Rabobank) and David Veilleux (Europcar).

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic3.jpg

As Gerrans crossed the line first for the points, he seemed very happy, getting in on the celebration act.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic4.jpg

Jump forward and with just 20kms a huge crash has caused some of the favourtes to fall! The big names on the ground are Bradley Wiggins (Sky), Christian Vandevelde (Garmin) and Igor Anton (Euskatel). Further back were Luis Lon Sanchez (Rabobank), Tejey Van Garderen (BMC) and Matthew Lloyd (Lampre).

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic5.jpg

And now the leadouts are forming, with the break very close by. Movistar's seems the strongest so far...

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic6.jpg

3kms now, and O'Grady and Visconti (Movistar) were pushing the pace at the front. Vaitkus was on the wheel of Robbie Hunter (Garmin) while McEwen was going solo...

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic7.jpg

The real sprinters are at it now. It looks like a three-horse race now between Ventoso (Movistar), Bos (Rabobank) and the favourite Greipel (Lotto). McEwen and Vaitkus are staying well...

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic8.jpg

And Greipel takes the stage! A great accelaration from Vaitkus brought him all the way up to 4th, great result from him!

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn1pic9.jpg

And finally gruppo Wiggins rolls in. Their race may be over, as they finish nearly 6 minutes behind! Such a shame for them, but it may gift Gerrans or Weening a couple of spots in the GC...

Post-Race Comment

A great stage. Simon got some extra seconds and that will hopefully help him in the GC battle. And although it's always bad to see any rider fall, the ones that did were some of Simon's rivals so it may aid us slightly. And of course Tomas did great in the final sprint. 4th was a big jump from what we were expecting.

Nice to see GreenEdge very active today, resulting in a 4th place finish for Vaitkus

@sutty Yes it was, let's hope Vaitkus can continue..

Paris-Nice - Stage 2

Danny's Plan

I will chase the break if I have to. Vaitkus will go for another top-10.

Race Report

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pic1.jpg

It took nearly forever, but a break finally got free, and got a big break. Nearly 8 minutes.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pic2.jpg

With the strong break, the DS sent Beppu, Weening and I to the front to chase. I would spend nearly all day here.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pic3.jpg

As Jimmy Engouvelent (Saur) took out the sprint points, the break had been cut down to 3'00". Good chasing, but it was tiring us out.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pic4.jpg

The break was nearly caught, and we stopped chasing. The immediate reaction was a vicious attack from Pavel Brutt (Katusha), Jens Voigt and Oliver Zaugg (Both RadioShack). It was scary in the peloton, but they would relax once they reached the break.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pic5.jpg

But they would be caught too. Lotto and Movistar were the main pace-setters, and after all my time working at the front I was tired. I was on the edge of falling out of the pack...

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pick7.jpg

And the sprint began. Andre Greipel was in perfect position, while Vaitkus and Robbie McEwen fell back a little.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pick8.jpg

Photo finish! It looks like either Grega Bole (Lampre) or Greipel, but Manuel Belleti (AG2R) was only inches off. Who was the winner? Vaitkus came in 12th.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pick9.jpg

But Bole has claimed it, and the announcers agree! A great win from him!

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn2pick10.jpg

This was dissapointing though. After working so hard for the team I was gone, and fell back to lose about 2 and a half minutes.

Post-Race Meeting

Average day. Tomas' sprint wasn't great, but the Lotto train was too strong. And of course Danny might feel a little down but he has no reason too, he worked terrifically and the team greatly appreciated his work.

Vaiykus just missed out on his top ten

Your result wasn't the best, did you suffer today

Beautiful layout! I'm following. What is the potential of Danny and Luke Durbridge?

@sutty This was a tough day for Danny, but it's all for the good of the team.

@ziber Thank you! Well it's on random potential, but you can be pretty confident Durbridge will become one of the best TT riders in the world in a few years, probably around 84-85 rating. Danny is a stage racer and willl hopefully develop to be a strong rider on any climbing terrain and time-trialling.

@Alakagom

Thanks a lot. Gerrans can hopefully improve his position with a large hill to end the next stage.

@nutter Wow man thanks so much for that! If you haven't already I reccomend checking out the PCM-09 and 11 Dominik Nerz story, and the PCM 10 David Veilleux story as they are probably the best two one-rider stories on this site in recent history.

@lokytrew As I said, he can hopefully improve his standing soon...

Got some homework to do now, but should be able to squeeze in the stage tonight. Let's hope so...

Paris-Nice - Stage 3

Danny's Plan

Today I have been advised to join the break. We will set a fast pace early so no one gets free, then I will attack just before the first sprint points and hopefully get free. After that will have to be seen...

Race Report

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic1.jpg

As promised, our domestiques we're working hard to keep any breaks on a short leash. I was staying close to the front.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic2.jpg

And also as promised, I was off! I was free, with a nice gap, but all by myself. It was hurting.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic3.jpg

And now I was joined by three riders. And two of them were Jens Voigt (RadioShack) and Pavel Brutt (Katusha). Both terrific riders, hopefully they would aid me at the front and not tire me out.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic4.jpg

But unfortunantely what I feared was occuing, as when we started to head just a litte uphill, I was losing touch.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic5.jpg

And now I was all alone, struggling to hold on. I was absolutely exhausted, and the gap was closing between me and the chasing peloton.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic6.jpg

I was in the pack. Although this was a relief at first, I started to fall behind, and the climb was coming at the worst time possible, as I would lose touch just as we hit it.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pick7.jpg

Now was when I was feeling really bad. My pedal strokes were extremly erratic, I was ridiculously tired and I was on the edge of getting off the bike and into the team car. Neil in the car pulled up next to me though, and convinced me to continue.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pick8.jpg

And with 500 metres left on the climb, Lars Boom (Rabobank) and Allesandro Ballan (BMC) make a smart attack, and join the break. Ballan creates a gap at the front, but he looked close to cracking.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic9.jpg

Now GreenEDGE are chasing at the front, trying to keep the gap low between the break and the peloton.
With 1km left, Ballan still had a gap. Surely he couldn't hold on?

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic11.jpg

But the former World Champ somehow held on and won, with a small gap to the others. They roll in together, with the peloton chasing.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn3pic12.jpg

And the reduced peloton hits the line with only one GE rider left, Gerrans. Visconti (Movistar) leads them over.

For some reason the results didn't export, which is kind of a bitch. CBF Taking a screen, but next stage you'll get results. Danny finished quite far back, maybe 5 minutes? Ballan gained about 1'45" on the peloton.

@all Thank you for your comments. It was a bad day for Danny, but today should be better...

Paris-Nice - Stage 4

Danny's Plan

I'm hoping for a more relaxed day today. This morning I spoke to the DS and we decided I could have a day off from the services at the front of the peloton. I will just hold my ground and hope to stay there until the end..

Race Report

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic2.jpg

The day would end today with a clear KoM leading few riders, and the competition was tough. Some early attackers are Igor Anton (Euskatel) and Bradley Wiggins (Sky). Anton is the first winner.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic3.jpg

And a BOTD formed around the pair. They got a large gap, and would dominate the day. Marcato, Vandewalle and Geslin joined them.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic5.jpg

They were joined by 7 other riders, and their gap is large, nearly at 10 minutes.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic6.jpg

And what luck. After spending the day comfortably in the peloton, Simon Gerrans and Pieter Weeining clip wheels and stack, leaving everyone else fine. Very unlucky for us.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic7.jpg

But after a great effort from Weening, Gerrans is back in the peloton, and is feeling good for the finale. I was comfy at the front with Stuey O'Grady.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic8.jpg

And with the hills getting tougher, the break was splitting. Only 5 were at the front now, but Wiggins was looking weak.

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic9.jpg

BMC were working hard for the yellow jersey of Allesandro Ballan, and spread out the peloton, causing gaps. I was still riding strong at the front. Only about 10kms now...

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic11.jpg

Oooh, ugly crash. Hard to tell from here, but looks like some leaders are down. The whole Astana team has rolled back so Kreuziger must have fallen, as well as Leipheimer (OPQS), Voeckler (Europcar) and Taaramae (Cofidis) by the looks of it...

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic12.jpg

But now just Vandewalle and Geslin are at the front. They are dropping Anton, and will fight it out in the last km...

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic13.jpg

And Vandewalle sprints to victory! Great ride by him, and fulfills one of OPQS's goals with a stage win!

i1220.photobucket.com/albums/dd443/Teddy_The_Creator/pn4pic14.jpg

And now the lead group comes in. It's a quite selective group, and I'm in it! I sprint to 36th place, well done to me...

Post-Race Comment

Big stage, great result. Gerrans is in a perfect position in 4th place, and with his form improving every day. Daniel and Pieter can hopefully stay in the front for the rest of the race, well done to them too. Only negative out of today is that Robbie McEwen had to quit. He will fly to Italy to do some training before he tries to get a spot in the MSR.
