I really like Gabon as it's always the fight between the sprinters and the puncheurs. Stay or go? It was good in EPIC and it gives some good racing here as well, hopefully one day the WT peloton will try it.
Oh and yes, great job with the story so far
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

VoetsT: They certainly did and that's the first step towards success...
sutty: Especially from Teshome
Ollfardh: I'm growing to like it as well, though it's only my 2nd time racing it (outside Epic) after getting PCM13.
And thanks!

La Tropicale Amissa Bongo
Stage 5: Lambarene – Mouila (189 km)
After yesterday’s failure Till felt he had to redeem himself, so he was very active in the first parts of the stage.
In spite of a number of high number of attacks only five riders get away: Drobisch, Siutsou, Fraile, Marque and Meintjes. So again today he looks like the weakest climber in there.
With 6 km to the first KOM Siutsou decides to attack. The big teams are certainly taking this small race very serious!
Yet another 4th place and 0 points for Till.
The aggressive riding on the hills resulted in him losing terrain quickly to the front riders.
He gave it everything trying to get back up the following 10 km, but without luck so he decided to just fall back.
Belkin, Lotto and Topsport Vlaanderen are sharing the workload and looks like they have the break under control.
Then all of a sudden GC leader Meyer gets a puncture and his team neglects to help him back before the gap is up to 2 minutes.
They do get him back in the end, but I expect he won’t be too happy about the slow response!
The last remains of the break gets caught just before the 10 km mark. Teshome is kept safe by Røinås while Pérez will try to deliver Ewan for the sprint.
The high pace set by the world tour teams took it’s toll on Caleb.
He was in a decent position at the start of the sprint, but he did use some energy to get/stay there.
Pérez puts in a good leadout, but the Australian struggles to keep his wheel in a hectic and crowded sprint.

La Tropicale Amissa Bongo
Stage 6: Lambarene – Kango (126 km)
Basically business as usual. This stage is not quite as hard as the last couple of days, which might not be a bad thing for us…
Good to see that Till isn’t ready to give up on his mission just yet!
Not that it help a lot when he continues to be the 4th strongest in the KOM sprints though…
The other four wasted a lot of energy attacking each other between the two KOM’s and finally Till had the energy to get another point for the jersey making him equal with Sbaragli before the final stage!
The break was reeled back in with 12 km to go by determined WT-teams. Still Till more or less got what he came for so it’s not all bad. Time to see if Ewan has the stamina to keep up with the pace today.
The wheel of points jersey wearer Clarke should be a good place to start for him?
Caleb burns out all his helpers getting there but this is his best starting position for a sprint yet.
Hopefully he can make something of it this time.
Heading towards the final km he is fighting hard to keep Clarkes wheel.
The win was never within reach, but he did good to put in a solid final punch today getting him and the team a wonderful 9th place!

It's hard to compete in such a tough field, but a top 10 is nice nonetheless. |

fernando: It is a very strong field and seeing how the other CT-teams are doing I'm failry happy with a top 10
sutty: It was in deed. He was completely empty when he crossed the line, but it was nice to see it get rewarded

La Tropicale Amissa Bongo
Stage 7: Owendo – Libreville (126 km)
The final stage will decide if our Africans will get something from the race.
Drobisch said that his legs felt better than ever before the stage so he managed to get in the break yet again. This time with a total of 8 other riders.
Gerdeman of MTN attacks 1,5 km from the first KOM and Till is right in his wheel.
Surely the German was trying to defend the jersey for his teammate Sbaragli, but Drobisch should thank him for a great leadout nevertheless!
With 250 m to go he looks like he will get some points, though the three first are extremely close.
Hoogerland, Sioutsou, Drobisch puts Till in the lead with those two the only possible challengers still.
Sioutsou is the best placed rider in the break only 3’34 down so he is forced to do a lot of work trying to maintain the breaks advantage. Hopefully that’ll cost him on the next KOM, which is our sole focus right now.
It did but it also starts showing on Drobisch that he has used a lot of energy these last few days.
Heading towards the final sprint Till can’t do much more than hope Hoogerland won’t win it.
A huge thanks goes out to Gerdemann, who beats Hoogerland in the sprint securing the jersey for us.
Looks like the MTN-manager might have told him to get the jersey to Africa even though they had lost it themselves? Otherwise that sprint hardly makes sense...
Perhaps an omen of things to come for Drobisch?
Completely empty Till lost contact with the break the next time over the hill and with 13 km to go they had a gap of almost 2 minutes.
The peloton started hesitating so Teshome decided to try and see if he could gain a bit of time for the GC.
NetApp didn’t approve though…
The remains of the break took the stage while Pérez helped Ewan to another good sprint behind.
All in all I’m very happy with this race!
Caleb showed that he can get top 10’s even in strong fields like this one while both our young Africans showed some good spirit rewarding Till with a hard-earned mountain jersey and Meron with a GC top 30 as 2nd best African rider in the race and even better placed than all the MTN – Qhubeka riders!
Also getting a 12th place in the team rankings ahead of teams like Cannondale, Katusha and Belkin is proof of some very impressive and consistent riding by the boys!
Also I want to extend a huge thanks to everyone that helped me get the award for “Best New DS”. There weren’t a lot of competition I know, but hopefully having that on my resume will help me get a job for next year as well…

fernando: I agree. I will do my best. New Zealand is next btw.
sutty: I think everyone filled their role well and the mountain jersey was amazing. Especially the way MTN made sure an African got it

New Zealand Cycling Classic
I’m not quite sure why they call this a “classic” since it actually has five stages…
Anyway we have come here with the same team as in Bongo but this time it’s the Australians in focus.
Stage 1: Massey University ITT (6,5 km)
Flakemore was mentioned as one of the big favourites ahead of the prologue next to former Garmin-Sharp rider Alex Rasmussen.
Just that is a big thing for a young chap like Campbell!
When Campbell set of the best time was held by the US ITT-champion Zirbel. It's still only halfway through and this time of the year it's hard to know who is actually in shape...
I told Flakemore to give it all he has today and he seems to agree.
He really wants this win!
He is able to find a slight bit more towards the finish line and crosses the line with the very last bit left in his legs.
He could barely stand when I got to him, but with a time 4 seconds faster than the current no. 2 who needs standing anyway?
Apart from Caleb, who is last man on the course today (what an honour being given the no. 1 by the organizers!), everyone from the team is there by the finish line dreading to see the time set by Alex Rasmussen as we expect he's the only one left to challenge Flakemores time.
The Dane was fast – but not fast enough!
Amazing job by Campbell winning the first stage of his first target race ahead of a former WT-rider and track world champion!!
I have to admit I'm surprised to see us getting our first "real" win already! To me the mountain jersey in our last race was actually just as real, but not in the eyes of the UCI for some silly reason.
We are in for a few hard days though and it will be very exiting to see if the team is strong enough to keep things under control while still sparing Caleb for the sprints.
Anyway I have to go as I need to talk to some people hopeing to build some srt of alliance before tomorrow...
