No Tour for us this year.

So you're sending a squad and let them abandon?

Anyway, you'll crush the GT's with Van den Broeck!


I'm really looking forward to what you can achieve with Martens and Geschke, although the latter shouldn't be able to repeat his 2011 results Wink

(and I love that awesome Uzbekh NC shirt! Credits to Sykkel_Freak for that Smile)

Thanks, and sorry for two days without updates. Have been busy doing other things. Anyway, here's Paris-Nice!

Project squad:

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_09.png

As overall contender, we've sent Coppel, who should be able to achieve our sponsor goal, a Top 5 overall, using his great form and the nationality bonus. Bozic will again go for the sprints, while Boom will be a joker for us, capable of striking pretty much on any terrain.

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/FR.png Paris-Nice - Stage 1

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_01.png

As usual in stage races, a short, flat prologue kicks off the racing. We will see gaps, but only very small ones over the meagre four kilometres.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_10.jpg

A hugely unexpected winner in the shape of Saur's Jimmy Engoulvent. Tied a second slower than him was Chris Froome and another French surprise, Paul Poux. Boom in 12th as best Project rider today, with Coppel also well placed in 19th.

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/FR.png Paris-Nice - Stage 2

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_02.png

The first of the just two real flat stages in this race. Apart from the second one, this one's also a true one, with no difficulties at all along the route to the finish in Buzancais. Mass sprint surely at the end of the day.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_11.jpg

An almost annoyingly superior Tom Boonen made sure his team's perfect leadout didn't go wasted by winning the stage by half a kilometer. His leadout man Gerald Ciolek even held on for third, only passed by Greg Henderson. Boom best of the Project again in 12th, after Bozic got shoveled away from the front at a bad time.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_03.png

Second day of flat, and the last true opportunity for the sprinters to get themselves a stage win out of this race. Slightly more difficult way to the line today though, with some hardish climbing in the second half of the stage.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_12.jpg

Breakaway victory today, and a great day for Landbouwkrediet and Vladimir Gusev. The Russian showed real power in the final sprint, by cracking his two companions Sébastien Minard and Thomas Dekker from the front position! However, the most frustrating part of the day was that the gap Boom had got from a downhill attack wasn't counted! It was clearly at least twenty seconds, more likely thirty! Angry

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_04.png

To make this race harder, and more Paris-Nice style, I've added a longer time trial instead of a third flat stage. This will secure some gaps going into the crucial stages tomorrow. Timetriallists with good climbing are favoured.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_13.png

To our surprise, and delight, Coppel showed what his 95 fitness really can do this early in the season by taking a surprise victory here! Sánchez led on all checkpoints, but eventually had to settle for second, with Boom, inspired by his team mate, rounded off the podium.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_05.png

If you can call this the queen stage, then it is. The famous Mende climb is as many times before present in this race, showing it's steep grades leading up to the finish. By far the best opportunity to create gaps.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_14.jpg

Andy Schleck proved his status as one of the world's best climbers today, by attacking early on the final climb and then holding off a very strong Simon Spilak in the final sprint for victory. Coppel defended his jersey in a great way, finishing in fifth, alongside a.o. Sánchez.

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/FR.png Paris-Nice - Stage 6

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_06.png

Stage six is classified as a hilly day, but it's unlikely that the relatively easy climbs will cause any major gaps, if any at all. A mass sprint from a reduced peloton is more likely, or possibly a breakaway.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_15.jpg

Liquigas' Simone Masciarelli was the fastest of the nine-man breakaway that made it all the way to the line. Bradley Wiggins came back in the very last metres, but came short of the victory by a small margin. Daryl Impey crossed the line first in the pack, three minutes later.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_07.png

The penultimate day of racing, and possibly the second best opportunity for the overall contenders to create gaps. Still, the longish flat part after the top of the final climb of the day doesn't exactly favour solo rides.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_16.jpg

Not even one attack from any of the top GC riders, and therefore another mass sprint, and another dominant Boonen victory. This time ahead of Impey and Bozic, who finally entered the Top 10 on a stage. No changes in GC, with Coppel still in the lead.

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/FR.png Paris-Nice - Stage 8

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_08.png

To round off this race, we have the classic Nice-Nice stage, featuring Col de la Porte, La Turbie and Col d'Eze. Let's however remind us, it is a hilly stage, where gaps can be created, but once again, it's probably not hard enough.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/pni_17.jpg

Again a breakaway victory, and to be more specific, a solo win for Bram Tankink. Behind him, Boom managed to sneak away in the final descent for second place and almost the points jersey. Unfortunately for us, Peter Sagan's third place secured him green. Bozic in 4th, while Coppel could celebrate overall victory!
Also some big, and quite sad news. Tom Boonen took a tumble on the way down from La Turbie and fell on his head, fracturing his skull. Therefore he's out until early May, taking him out of the cobbled classics!

But what a bummer that Boonen crashed, because he was in top shape...
Hope he recovers soon Wink

YES! Great win by Coppel, didn't expect that with just 1 stage win.

Why not? In 2007, Contador won P-N to win the Tour, and he repeated it in 2010 (with or without dope). So maybe Coppel... Wink

Thanks everyone!

@ beagle - Not sure to be honest. It should be though.

And it wasn't actually a downhill attack, since he jumped once we came down on the flat. Pfft

@ MitchNL - No chance for us there anyway. And I doubt Coppel can do a Contador. Wink

Project squad:

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_08.png

As GC leader and biggest hope for a decent overall result, we've sent a quite fit Fuglsang, who's fresh off the Murcia tour. We also hope that Kluge can snatch a Top 10 or two from the sprints. That's pretty much it.

With the long time trial on stage four, the two biggest favourites will have to be Cadel Evans and Andreas Klöden. Lurking behind them is the Italians Nibali and Pellizotti, as well as Kanstantsin Sivtsov and Damiano Cunego.

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png Tirreno Adriatico - Stage 1

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_01.png

We head to Napoli for the opening prologue, which is a quite special one. The unusual thing about it is that most of it is uphill, and on quite high slopes too. That might favour a climber over a pure timetriallist.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_09.jpg

No pure climber and no pure timetriallist, but a promising young stage racer in Andrew Talansky was the fastest up the slopes and took the first blue leader's jersey. Completing the podium was two big surprises, in the shapes of Massimo Giunti and Josep Jufré. Fuglsang started well, with a strong 9th place.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_02.png

We continue to stage two, and a pan flat day. Or wait, that's not true! There are some really leg-sapping climbs in the start of the stage, which I'm sure will be used by the GC contenders to create gaps! Or maybe not...

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_10.jpg

The sprinter's teams miscalculated the gap given to solo escapee Simone Ponzi, which allowed the Italian to cruise home to an easy victory. José Joaquin Rojas then led the peloton home a minute later. Also, heavy crosswinds splitted the pack during the day, and a.o. Pellizotti, Rujano and Klöden lost huge time.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_03.png

With a bang, we already hit the first of three crucial stages present on the route. This one is possibly the hardest one, finishing in the small village of Bocca di Selva, after a long, difficult climb. Gaps are to be expected.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_11.jpg

After a brutal climb, two men proved too strong for the rest as the final sprint kicked off. It turned out to be a close battle, with a photofinish giving the victory to Damiano Cunego over Cadel Evans. A strong Fuglsang followed closest behind, together with Thomas Löfkvist.

Another hard day with a mountainous look. Not as hard as yesterday though, and more favourable to the punchers. Again, gaps are expected on the hard final climb to Vico del Gargano.

Back to back wins for Lampre, with Massimo Giunti following Cunego's example by distancing the rest with a vicious attack. Evans second again, while both Fuglsang and Cunego suffered, losing twenty seconds on the first part of the favourite group.

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png Tirreno Adriatico - Stage 5

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_05.png

Almost a copy of stage two, with some easy climbing in the very first kilometres, and then a long, pan flat run towards what's expected to be an all out mass sprint finish.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_13.jpg

The breakaway almost made it, and Nick Nuyens raised his arms in, what he though was, victory. Unfortunately for him, the sprinters came past him in the last metres, pushing him down to 6th. Daniele Bennati instead took the victory, ahead of Matthew Goss and Sacha Modolo.

pcmdaily.com/images/flags/IT.png Tirreno Adriatico - Stage 6

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_06.png

A long-ish time trial then, and a quite lumpy one too. Three major climbs on the route, who all however, are quite short. A pure timetriallist are more likely than a climber, unlike the prologue.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_14.jpg

After some strong times by early starters, Jack Bobridge came and blew them all away easily. Closest threat came from world champion Fabian Cancellara, who however, was behind at all checkpoints and never came really close.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_15.jpg

Of the top overall contenders, one proved to be quite a lot faster than the others. To our delight, that one rider was Fuglsang, who rode one of his best ever time trials, and finished third. Race leader Evans easily defended his overall lead however, by finishing 5th.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_07.png

Surprisingly, the classic final flat stage in San Benedetto del Tronto isn't present this year, and instead we have the third and last decisive stage of this race. The Montelupone and twice the Recanati features in the final. Brutal.

i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h416/vNibali/project/tir_16.jpg

King Phil finally returned to his usual self here, and blasted everyone else off his wheel with a classic Gilbert attack on the final ascent. Half a minute later, Nibali led a group of favourites, including Fuglsang, over the line. No changes in the absolute overall top.

Nice 3rd place by Fuglsang! He showed he's a real stage racer, like Evans and Contador: Strong in the mountains and strong in the time trial!

(Sorry Andy, you can't time trial)
