well as im waiting for an answer to my cadre question I guess I can still start the presentation
Colavita - Sutter Home it is, 15 riders at first but after signing 4 newbies we now have 19 riders who, instead of going to the Copa America Cyclismo, went to France to train with eachother
The guys training in the La Londe region
The Complete team with stats:
(I also noticed here that the jersey isnt exactly upto date, maybe a jersey guru could do something?)
Sponsors:
Goals:
-> Wear the climbers jersey in the Tour of California
-> Wear the climbers jersey in the Tour of Georgia
-> End in the top 5 at the CSC Invitational
-> End in the top 5 at the USA RR Championships
-> Win the Irish Road Race
now, upcoming are the Tour San Luis and the Tour of Wellington which are almost held at the same time. I will probably do smaller reports on these kind of tours with 1 post covering all stages with some pics, some info and the top 10 of every stage

hehe, well as I said on PPDB, next update could take a while as those 2 tours are at the same time and will need some time to be played (also with school coming tuesday it becomes more timetaking)

We bring a strong squad to Argentina with Borrajo, Artacho and Acton who want to do well in their own country. However the prologue was a Brazilian party as the top 4 were all from the Scott team, Medici almost took a win in his own country but Nicacio just managed to beat him by a miniscule margin.
Result:
01.  Pedro Nicácio SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS 5'11
02.  Matías Médici SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS s.t.
03. Luis Tavares SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS + 3
04. Marcio May SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS + 7
05.  Omar Cervantes TECOS DE LA UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE GUADALAJARA s.t.
06.  Andrei Sartasov LÍDER PRESTO s.t.
07.  David Herrero Llorente KARPIN GALICIA + 8
08. Gonzalo Rabuñal KARPIN GALICIA s.t.
09.  Pedro Sibila Romero TRAVEL & BUSINESS s.t.
10.  Sergio Ortega LÍDER PRESTO s.t.
16.  David McCann COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT + 11
Today we wanted to give Borrajo a shot in the sprint and many other teams also seemed to be getting their win in a sprint. Di Nucci was the favourite but he had to come from too far and so Rogelin went onto the victory but then Ferrari from Tenax comes up out of nowwhere on the other side of the road! Borrajo finds himself in Rogelin's wheel but would end 4th. Would Scott take his 2nd win or will Ferrari take the win?
Ferrari wins the first real stage!
Result:
01.  Roberto Ferrari TENAX 3h54'57
02. Daniel Rogelin SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS s.t.
03. Daniele Di Nucci TEAM UNIVERSAL CAFFE' - ECOPETROL s.t.
04. Alejandro Borrajo COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT s.t.
05. Jose Carlos Valdez Calva TECOS DE LA UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE GUADALAJARA s.t.
06.  Juan Carlos Rojas Villegas HOTEL LOS LAGOS - DOS PINOS - PASOCA s.t.
07.  Maxim Rudenko CINELLI - ENDEKA - OPD s.t.
08. Vladislav Borisov TEAM UNIVERSAL CAFFE' - ECOPETROL s.t.
09. Fabrice Piemontesi TENAX s.t.
10. Juan Carlos Arias Pérez TRAVEL & BUSINESS s.t.
Same kinda stage, same story, every teams seems to want a sprint and yet again Borrajo does a nice job ending 4th. In front of him are also yet again Rogelin, Di Nucci and Ferrari but now in a completely different order...Di Nucci wins but Ferrari, who end 2nd, takes over the lead but will probably lose it in tommorow's TT
Di Nucci beats Ferrari and Rogelin!
Result:
01. Daniele Di Nucci TEAM UNIVERSAL CAFFE' - ECOPETROL 3h50'06
02. Roberto Ferrari TENAX s.t.
03. Daniel Rogelin SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS s.t.
04. Alejandro Borrajo COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT s.t.
05. Jose Carlos Valdez Calva TECOS DE LA UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE GUADALAJARA s.t.
06. Vladislav Borisov TEAM UNIVERSAL CAFFE' - ECOPETROL s.t.
07.  Charles Dionne COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT s.t.
08. Alessandro Bertuola TENAX s.t.
09. Juan Carlos Rojas Villegas HOTEL LOS LAGOS - DOS PINOS - PASOCA s.t.
10. Alberto Benitez SAUNIER DUVAL - PRODIR s.t.
GC with 3 stages to go:

Haedo's former team was Toyota United A_Schleck, or did he ride for Colavita before Toyota?
Anyway, great start Justin!

A hilly TT, since Munoz Giraldo isnt in the shape of his life we will have to count on our Irish champ McCann. Munoz Giraldo leads for a few mins but would eventually end 20th because the last 25 riders really where the big guns who were going to decide the winner today. McCann takes over the lead from Canada but then many still have to come. Some dont manage to get him like Herrero, Sibila Romero and Ortega. However 6 others, of which 4 are from Scott, manage to pass him by and today's winner isn Sartasov who destroys the field and even beats the fav, Pedro Nicacio. Esparza takes a surprising 3rd in front of Medici and May.
Result:
01. Andrei Sartasov LÍDER PRESTO 20'43
02. Pedro Nicácio SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS + 15
03. Fausto Esparza TECOS DE LA UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE GUADALAJARA + 31
04. Matías Médici SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS + 43
05. Marcio May SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS + 48
06. Luis Tavares SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS + 54
07. David McCann COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT s.t.
08. David Herrero Llorente KARPIN GALICIA + 55
09. Pedro Sibila Romero TRAVEL & BUSINESS s.t.
10. Maxim Rudenko CINELLI - ENDEKA - OPD s.t.
Probably our last chance of winning a stage here unless Borrajo will surprise us tommorow even though he's in average shape. Today we wanted either McCann, Munoz or Dionne in the break. McCann was doing too good and Munoz' stats were too good and so Dionne was our guy in the break. They work well and on the last climb it still isnt sure whether they will make it as Sartasov, Nicacio and Esparza have attacked from the back and with 10 kms to go the gap is only 2 mins! Than Dionne does what he has to do in order to win and that is attacking. With his climbing skills no one in the group can catch him and Dionne is on his way to our first win! 30 seconds later the others of the break reach the finish together with Sartasov, Nicacio and Esparza. In the GC Dionne is now 3rd and will probably hold on to that
Charles Dionne wins in Argentina and is now 3rd in the GC!
Result:
01. Charles Dionne COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT 4h04'35
02. Mirko Allegrini KIO ENE - TONAZZO - DMT + 30
03. Emanuele Bindi TEAM UNIVERSAL CAFFE' - ECOPETROL s.t.
04.  David Livramento DUJA - TAVIRA s.t.
05. Pedro Nicácio SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS s.t.
06. Alessandro Bertuola TENAX s.t.
07. Andrei Sartasov LÍDER PRESTO s.t.
08. Fausto Esparza TECOS DE LA UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE GUADALAJARA s.t.
09. José Rafael Martinez Castillo RELAX - GAM + 1'13
10. David McCann COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT + 1'25
The final stage of the Tour de San Luis and again we wanted to give Borrajo a shot in the sprint. He is located perfectly behind the top sprinters and then he follows Ferrari, then Di Nucci but then they already get close to the finish and it looks like Ferrari will win...however Borrajo gets out of Di Nucci's wheel and is now next to him but Ferrari would still win. Borrajo ends 2nd which isnt bad at all!
Ferrari wins the final stage as Borrajo ends 2nd
Result:
01. Roberto Ferrari TENAX 3h11'19
02. Alejandro Borrajo COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT s.t.
03. Daniele Di Nucci TEAM UNIVERSAL CAFFE' - ECOPETROL s.t.
04. Daniel Rogelin SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS s.t.
05. Maxim Rudenko CINELLI - ENDEKA - OPD s.t.
06. Juan Carlos Rojas Villegas HOTEL LOS LAGOS - DOS PINOS - PASOCA s.t.
07. Jose Carlos Valdez Calva TECOS DE LA UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE GUADALAJARA s.t.
08. David Herrero Llorente KARPIN GALICIA s.t.
09. Eduard Vorganov KARPIN GALICIA s.t.
10. Emanuele Bindi TEAM UNIVERSAL CAFFE' - ECOPETROL s.t.
Final GC:
01. Andrei Sartasov LÍDER PRESTO 15h27'28
02. Pedro Nicácio SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS + 8
03. Charles Dionne COLAVITA - SUTTER HOME PRESENTED BY COOKING LIGHT + 22
04. Fausto Esparza TECOS DE LA UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE GUADALAJARA + 34
05. Mirko Allegrini KIO ENE - TONAZZO - DMT + 1'25
06. Roberto Ferrari TENAX + 1'30
07. Emanuele Bindi TEAM UNIVERSAL CAFFE' - ECOPETROL + 1'31
08. Matías Médici SCOTT - MARCONDES CESAR - FADENP SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS s.t.
09. Alessandro Bertuola TENAX + 1'33
10. David Livramento DUJA - TAVIRA + 1'34
