PCM rulezz - The World Champion is unstoppable Wink hope Stijn can overtake him one day!

Jesleyh - Hope you were able to sleep Grin

FreitasPCM - Really hoping he can keep this shape!

Stromeon - I wouldn't say a favorite, but a potential podium place, maybe Wink thanks.

JuanMotr - He's blossoming here at Argos Smile Well, Stijn is really turning into an aggressive rider, that's the way I like it. Just because he can sprint doesn't mean he should wait for it Pfft same goes for Willy and time trialing Wink

krisa - That's the plan Wink

Strade Bianchi


Always a nice race in preparation of Tirreno - Adriatico!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/strade01_zpsfb098e0f.jpg


Today's tactics were clear:
1. Kittel survives the hills - he sprints.
2. Kittel doesn't surprise the hills - Stijn or Veelers sprint.
3. Willy may attempt an attack.

Willy Wouters


Arashiro spent all day in the attack, taking the pressure of our team.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/strade02_zps3053861a.jpg


I must admit my legs weren't that great today. I was still experiencing some pains from when I bumped my kneecap on the plane on the way over here.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/strade03_zpsbbf9059f.jpg


However, the pain receded and I planned on a nice finish nevertheless. I wouldn't try attacking, though.

Arashiro was the last one we picked up, now it was waiting for the first attacks!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/strade04_zpsa429f7a3.jpg


Strangely enough, that attack came from Seeldraeyers and Stijn!

Stijn Van Gent


I felt amazing after the opening weekend and I wanted to try my legs here. I decided to rip open the field a bit, since Kittel was lost in a later group anyways. Seeldraeyers was feeling great and said he'd help me, so he rode right on front of me.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/strade05_zps2a15e963.jpg


We got a little gap and then I left him, without words, both concentrated on the effort.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/strade06_zps58b555f5.jpg


On the final climb, I launched into a long sprint, going smoothly uphill, surprisingly enough. I guess when the legs are good, about anything is possible!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/strade07_zps6113e885.jpg


No one threatened me and I took the win! What a great way to win this beautiful race!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/strade08_zps3edbc9d5.jpg


This is an amazing achievement. My season couldn't have started any better. I just hope to keep this form and carry it all the way to Roubaix!

PCM rulezz - Thanks Grin Seeldraeyers was the perfect platform to launch Stijn!

dienblad - Thanks a lot Wink Stijn's favorite weather definitely gave him the advantage.

krisa - That's an impressive list, Stijn joining them is excellent! Thanks.

ste_18 - Cancellara is in Paris-Nice, so that's why he isn't there! And of course he's proud Wink

Jesleyh - Well, a great rider doesn't wait for a win to fall in his lap, he goes hunting for it Grin Thanks!

sutty68 - Thanks, mate Wink

Ollfardh - No matter how weak the field, you still have to get to that finish line first Wink

Tirreno - Adriatico :: Stage 1


Last year we saw an epic duel between Valverde and Rodriguez, with the latter winning. Both are back for another battle this year.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/tirreno101_zps6847ce06.jpg


This year's edition starts with an extremely hard stage. Expect a lot of gaps already.

Stijn Van Gent


All I can say is: I'm happy the race is over. This was a hard day, really. Nothing important happened for me. Oh yeah, I dodged Moinard, who took a nasty fall.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/tirreno102_zps6de45311.jpg


I dodged him just in time to avoid falling myself, so I'm happy about today. Tomorrow has a flat finish, let's see if Kittel survives the preceding hills. If not, I will be the main sprinter. In that case, I hope Cavendish gets lost in the hills, too.

Willy Wouters


My legs felt quite heavy at the start of the race, but I got much better near the end.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/tirreno103_zpsfce8bd4f.jpg


Good enough to attack, you say? Sure! But in the downhill. Taking some risks, I tried breaking away.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/tirreno104_zps6b9bfb67.jpg


But this man has not forgotten me. We made eye contact and I could see it, he hasn't forgotten at all... Andy Schleck doesn't let me go.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/tirreno105_zpsd79b3001.jpg


It ends in a fifteen-man sprint.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/tirreno106_zpsed5f1570.jpg


Valverde will be the first wearer of the leader's jersey.

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/tirreno107_zpsd2c2f21f.jpg


I can't beat Schleck on the line this time and finish fourth. And, yes, I score my first WT Point in my career! I'm officially on the Ranking!

i1322.photobucket.com/albums/u569/IanButlerPCM2/tirreno108_zpsa691104b.jpg


This is good. A great start here. My first single World Tour point, that calls for a celebration!
