Univest Grand Prix
Smowz
i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/Profiles%202012/UnivestGP.jpg

The smart money for these hilly classics seems to be on a breakaway and so it is no surprise to see almost every team try and get in one in the early going here.

A huge 15 rider breakaway has formed 50km into the race.

Only a few teams have missed this move AMEX, UPC, Metinvest, Kingspan, Het Nieuwsblad and Petrobrus being those names.

UPC are really busting a gut to keep this group within a minute for team leader i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/upc.png Manuel Ortega and do so.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/2-UPCchaseitdown.jpg

In fact by the 7th circuit out of 10 on this initial tricky section UPC pull everything back together, the parcours are not really demanding enough to drop anyone despite the near constant high pace so it's gruppo compacto for a bit.

Having missed the first move some teams have a fresh full complement of 5 riders and AMEX launch i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/amex.png Lucas Euser

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/3-Euserignitesbigmove.jpg

Euser goes solo for about 5km, before 4 riders try to get across noticing that UPC are happy to allow more leeway. These riders are:

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/brasil.png Wilson Zambrano

Delhaize and Armavia perhaps understandably feeling their best chance is through a break, interestingly though Petrobrus have launched possibly their best punchaer at this race.

The five build a decent 4 minute advantage as we exit the first set of circuits with 45km to go. However Vassdal who was struggling at the back falls as he takes risks on a decent.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/4-Vassdalcrashesoutofcontention.jpg

So Euser, Mkrtehyan, Zambrano and Giraldi lead us through into the second set of circuits which will decide the winner of this race.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/5-Fourleadthrough.jpg

With the break being so small a lot of teams have been helping with the pace including UPC, Het Nieuwsblad, Metinvest, S-Tel and P Lasko. Indeed with 25km to go the gap dips under two minutes before the tactical games start.

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/upc.png Manuel Ortega starts the attacks to attempt to bridge to this 4 man break.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/6-Ortegatriestobridgegap.jpg

He is marked initially by i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/eurovision.png Robert Retschke, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/het.png Carlo Kirsch and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/skoda.png Johannes Frohlinger

Adecco keep a watchful eye on these moves keeping the pace high enough in the pack to keep these chasers to within 30 seconds.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/7-Adecconowcontrol.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/amex.png Tareq Esmaeli attacks the Adecco chase marked by i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/upc.png Pablo Urtasun, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/telekom.png Yauhen Sobal, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/het.png Björn Leukemans and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/samsung.png Angel Vicioso

UPC are all over everything but Adecco have kept a very good control of these moves and with 15km to go there is only one rider who is clear with the all the attackers caught and all but one of the initial breakaway reeled in.

Giraldi is gambling that the pack may just allow him some wiggle room and is solo with 15km to go.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/8-Giraldigoessolo.jpg

But Vicioso looks full of energy and attacks again with Ortega, Sobal, Leukemans, Retschke and Frohlinger marking him.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/9-Viciosokeepsattacking.jpg

Sobal and Retschke prove the strongest here and pulls Giraldi back with 10km left. The punchaers are now getting animated desperate to pull this thing apart, for once the breakaway has not succeeded.

Having done a lot of chasing Adecco now launch i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/adecco.png Diego Milan

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/10-NowMilanpusheshard.jpg

Vicioso and Frohlinger try to go with Milan but Milan has wisely saved his energy for this one big move and as they fall back the Spanish rider has a 25 second lead under the 5km to go banner.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/11-5togohehasasmalllead.jpg

Having failed to go with MIlan, Vicioso is now in chase mode for teammate i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/samsung.png Iván Melero who looks poised for a counter.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/12-SaMolsenseachance.jpg

Samsung Mol manage to make the catch as we enter the last 2.5km but suddenly get swamped by other riders as i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/pivorana.png Ricardo Serrano and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/upc.png Manuel Ortega come either side of Milan.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/13-SerranoOrtegaandSmelcepounce.jpg

This really is the moment to have riders in the first 12 or so positions and in addition to these three we have
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/telekom.png Goran Smelcerovic

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/pivorana.png José Chacon
and sprinter i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/kingspan.png Victor Gomes Colinas

Gomes Colinas would be favourite if the finish was flat but we actually have a short incline and then fairly sharp decline to the finish. The finish therefore favours a punchaer who has the most left and having sat and watched all the attacks Serrano has the most left and begins to power clear.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/14-Serranohassavedthemost.jpg

Smelcerovic has also done little allowing teammate Sobal to do a lot of the marking and so is fresh to challenge in second here. Milan and Ortega have been animated and cannot seem to live with these two, but are away from the rest.

Het Nieuwsblad have got the bit between their teeth behind, the win may go to a rider ahead but they are fighting for decent placings. Leukemans leads a bunch of riders which include his teammates i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/het.png Kurt Hovelynck and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/het.png Gilberto Sampaio

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/15-HetNhaveleftitlate.jpg

Serrano has powered up this incline and now just has to keep it going on the short descent and flat final 500 metres or so.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/16-Serranoshowscleanpairofheels.jpg

Smelcerovic is beginning to tire in second and Milan is having a second wind behind him, Ortega is still battling away as Hovelynck bursts out of the pack of riders behind.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/17-Hovelynkburstsoutofpack.jpg

i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/adecco.png Alberto Rodriguez Oliver and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/het.png Gilberto Sampaio are following behind with the likes of Euser, Bespolov and Sobal also making a late move for a high place.

But the late moves are not going to catch Serrano who kept calm and gambled on a close finale. He made his sprint at the right time with all of his strength and wins the Univest Grand Prix.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/18-Serranodominatessprint.jpg

His chasers Smelcerovic, Milan and Ortega tire towards the end and Hovelynck finishs very fast to snatch a 2nd place with Het Nieuwsblad. Milan overtakes Smelcerovic to complete our podium.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/ManGame/CDiv2/19-Hovelynksnatches2ndaheadofMilan.jpg

Het Nieuwsblad are well and truly back to their best here getting 5th through Sampaio ahead of Ortega and Rodriguez Oliver. An impressive second wind by Euser to take 8th ahead of punchaers Bespolov and Sobal. Samsung Mol have to be happy with 11th, 12th and 16th.

A very animated Univest Grand Prix was won by the patient Pivivorna Lasko squad, who after the initial break was caught did a little bit of chase work but kept calm in a frenzied finale to launch Serrano at the right time. Het Niewsblad too kept their powder dry for the final sprint which proved the right tactic here.
