Hi I´m finaly home and have got some time. So this is what happened.
Profile:
From start big breakaway group was created.
Best climber of them was Colombia team rider. Thank god It wasn´t Roberto Velasquez .
Pace was mostlly done by France teams but when we came to first of the big climbs Herrada Lopez started to do the pace.
He done such a great job I really want to thank him even this way.
Cadel Evans started to lose touch with the peloton or is he just bluffing?
Lopez caught the BOD alone!
With only uphill to finish Cadel attacked. He was definitely bluffing.
I didn´t follow as I was badly placed. Such a unexperienced mistake.
Intxausti started to chase. Cadel was made 1:30 min gap and with 5 km to go I attacked.
I could see him in front of me.
I closed the gap to 1 minute but i attacked too late as I could see finish.
Chasing group was 1:20 behind me.
I tried hard but Evans won this stage and also the race.
I came 1:07 behind Cadel and 2:56 in front of the other favourites.
I end 2nd in Stage but what is more important also in GC!
My first podium this season.

Okay. Here are some questions for the interview:
Which Grand Tour is your favourite?
Who is your best friend on the team?
Will you return to Criterium International next year?
What are your goals for Pais al Vasco?
Hope those are okay |

Hi today is 1st of April and my mom told me that on Portugal national cycling magazin is interview with me. I had that interview few days ago right after I ended 2nd in Criterium.
I went to market and bought a copy of the mag. I choose some nice pages and copy them here so you will be able to see them without buying the mag.
Peloton
News
Alexandre Vinokurov announced that he will retire after the season is over.
He said that he would be really happy if he could achieve last one win.
Jurgen Van Den Broeck one of the premier GC guys is tracked by Katusha.
Alejandro Valverde signed 2 year deal with Movistar.
Tom Boonen set another record by winning E3 for 5th time!
Interview with Rui Costa
francopell: After great result in Criterium, will you come here next year aswell?
Rui: I will try to come but if my team will need me in Vuelta Cyclistica a Catalunya or somewhere else I won´t be able to do nothing about it.
francopell: What are your goals for your upcoming race Pais al Vasco?
Rui: My goal is top 3 as that is also sponsor goal but that is probably too much for me so I will try atleast for top 10.
francopell: What is your favourite GT?
Rui: I really like Vuelta that´s why I will ride it this year but overall I think Tour de France is my dream race.
Daggen: When we are talking about Vuelta what is main objective there?
Rui: We are taking really strong team there so me and Cobo will be main helpers for Alejandro but both of us will get some time for breakaways.
So my goal there is stage win.
sutty68: And what are your season goals?
Rui: As I said I want to be in Top 10 at Pais al Vasco than I will do my best to help Alejandro win atleast one of ardennes classics and after that I will try for Top 5 in Tour de Romandie.
francopell: Who is your best friend in the team?
Rui: We are all great freinds but if I had to choose one than it is José Joaqiun Rojas. We raced a lot this year together.
Ian Butler: How do you see your future in the team?
Rui: I still have contract until 2013 so I have more than a year to think about it.
Ian Butler: What do you think about Armstrong's USADA report and what do you think generally about (the battle against) doping?
Rui: I don´t have a lot of time to closely follow Armstrong case I hope he is not guilty as he was my idol when I was young.
Doping comisars are visiting our houses a lot so I hope it´s on right track.
JuanMotr: Thanks for your time and good luck.

Oh my god I had wrote my report nearly an hour but than like an idiot i somehow delete it.

Our squad:
We made the stage really hard.
I attacked on the final hill with help of Intxausti and created a gap of 30 seconds.
But I get caught with 1.5 km left.
