Stage no.3
After rest day,fine flat stage,we're going for TOP10 with Hocevar today,and main goal,keep Nose in yellow!
Its straaange weather in South Africa. In 2 days weather changed enormnously,for about 20celsius.
At the start of the stage,local photographer took image of our guys,both in leader jerseys. Hocevar in Polka dot and Nose in yellow. It looks great indeed!
Everything was fine,until,after 20kms from start, Bosman and Brown attacked.
These guys was pretty serious in idea to win stage. Here is picture
Pretty boring stage after that attack,gap was being bigger and than smaller. At the end,they finally got breakaway group at about 7,5 kms to go,now MTN Qhubeka can prepare their riders for sprint. They have everything in their hands.
Meanwhile,Goenisseg fell right before 5km banner, but his 2 teammates came to help him. He is 2nd in GC,he wasn't injured so we could be happy about his low chances to get peloton again.
Sprint started and Hocevar was monster at first 200 meters but seems like sprinting from 400m is just too much. MTN riders showed who is the boss and they got 1-2-3. What a great result for them,for us , also. We kept green for 1 more day.
3 minutes and 50 seconds after first guy passed above finish line,Goenisseg and his teammates came on finish line. His GC fight is finished.

Yupp,seems it is going to be easy until 6th stage. But , on other side, we have Rogina to chase for Nose so there should not be problem in winning this race. Great that you're following |

You're right , but they don't have hilly/mountain rider to get something at that 6th stage. Maybe Konovalovas, but he show us some weakness in 2nd stage. I am going to do report for next stage,and than Barca-Bayern. |

Stage no.4
Should be kind of sprinting stage. Again main goal is to save Nose and sprint with Hocevar.
Great weather for today,great time for cycling.
It is some kind of hilly/flat stage which is finishing in group sprint.
Pavlin and Putt decided to set off early in the stage.
The gap was widening. It touched 6 seconds at about 64,5 kms to go,right at time when Walker from Drapac,one of the favourites for todays provisional sprint,attacked.
Walker got them at about 32 kms to go,Pavlin show some weakness and fell out of breakaway,group was now eating advantage ,and they was pretty close to breakaway,seems like MTN want mass - sprint finish.
And probably big shock happened few kilometers after last picture is taken,Goenissen and Groeweggen attacked,followed by Konovalovas. Nose knew that he has to follow this,so now,strongest brekaway is probably here. But is this going to finish with mass sprint or E1 deciding winner by themselves.
Every meter gave bigger gap,so it was more clear that this is going to be win from breakaway. Guys came to sprint and it was pretty clear who is going to take it. Groeweggen is definitely the best sprinter over here,so he first started sprinting,followed by Nose.
Aand it was easy win for him , but we didn't lose any second here and we're satisfied with our 3rd position. Less riders can compete when we're going deeper in South Africa. Thats good signal for us!
In pelotons mass sprint,Hocevar,surprisingly ,took the win!
Lets jump to results,it is very interesting!

Stage no. 5
Well,if everything goes well,our plan is to attack on last hill,so other teams can't catch us at that downhilling sprint.
Great 31c , perfect weather for riding. Our hopes goes for Kristjan Fajt. Deal is for him to attack at last hill and (possibly) get stage win.
After 13kms of calmness , Weiss from Tirol Cycling,decided to set off,this time,alone.
And that breakaway got caught quickly! After only 15kms in breakaway,Rabobank CT team chased and got Weiss fastly. Its 80kms until the end and there is only one group. This smells on huge amount of attacks.
But no,what a boring stage today! Same as semi-final of League Champions tonight! 
No one attacked and everything was fine until 6th kilometer. Everyone wanted good position before downhill. Group stopped for a second and Fajt used perfect time to set off! He can get this!
He was getting bigger and bigger gap,group behind started sprinting before Fajt. He was just calm and started sprint about kilometer ago. He has power!
Aaaaand yes! Once again Adria is getting stage-win in ToSA!
Tommorow is very important day for GC. I forgot to export results but nothing changed! Sorry for that guys. See ya at next stage |

Tidy little story here, great screens as well. Good luck with the team. Tour of South Africa going great with Nose. Mugerli will be a great rider for results, especially at this level.

Wow man,thanks for commenting! I am putting some effort in all of this and i'm glad that someone like you commented. Thanks so much! Well,as 1.2 and 2.2 races are mostly classics,and mostly hilly classics,Mugerli is our first card. But for a races such as Tour of South Africa and some stage races, Rogina and Nose are our first guys. Definitely we need some young guys at the end of the season and at least 1 decent sprinter. Depends on our division next year and can we get promotion. Thanks for following,again,its great that you commented!
