Hi my name is Tony Gallopin, I am a french rider for team Radioshack-Nissan-Trek. I am 23 years old and I am writing this so you can see my journey as a French rider in the shadows of the Schleck bros and Cacellara.
(real me talking) Tony Gallopin is a great young talent for team radioshack. He started rideing in 2008 for team Auber 93 2 years later went to Cofifds and then went to Radioshack another 2 years later.

Was just in Luxemburg to shoot this photo:
Then we took solo pics:
The Schlecks are 2 cool guys they are just really nice, humble, funny,and laid back.
and here we are training:
Johan just gave me my January-April schedule here are the races:
30/01 Le Grand Prix la Marseillaise
09/02-13/02 Tour Mediterrraneen
15/02-20/02 Tour of Oman
06/03-13/03 Paris-Nice
19/03 Milan-San Remo
26/03 E3 Prijs Vlaanderen-Harelbeke
06/04 Scheldeprijs
03/04 Ronde van Vlaaderen
20/04 La Fleche Wallonne
24/04 Leige-Baston-Leige
This is an amazing schedule for me in these first 4 months because I get a month of training back in France to start and I have many races in France and to top it off I will have at least 2 races with Cacellara, because they think I could become a great hills and Cobblestone rider.
And by the way my contract is up this year and I want no questions about that!
and with that I will start my story on my life as a cyclist.

Looking good. Yeah, i agree with Teddy, hectic first few months. Hopefully you don't plan on doing the Vuelta as well, you'll be completely wiped. |

@Pinktay3- I dodn;t know hopefully he riders to his full potential. But a spot in Giro i very possible.
@Ian Butler-we agree but he has 4 star potential in Cobblestones. |

This race has many hills but will probably end in a sprint.<br />

I will be riding with Giacomo Nizzolo, who will be our sprinter. Yarolsav Popvych, Ben Hermans, Jan Blakelandts, Hayden Roulston, Gregory Rast, and Laurant Didier.
Our tactic is to get in a mass sprint with all of our pacemakers. Then win the sprint with Nizzolo. I am the lead out man for Nizzolo.
The favorites are Nicolas Roche, Scheirlincks and Giacomo Nizzolo.
At the beginning of the race many no-name riders attacked. But we could not let the 15 riders who attacked, make a group so we got caught in. Then a group of 14 riders fromed and at one point they had a 5 minute lead but we then took control f the peleton. 10 killometers later we cought them with 78 killometers left. Eventually Didier got in to the escape group with a rider of saur-Sojasun. Then, Didier attacked and got a 4 minute lead on the peleton.
Then the favorites attacked but with Yarolsav Popvych, Ben Hermans, Jan Blakelandts, Hayden Roulston, and Gregory Rast, we ate them up. But with 15 killometers Didier was reeled in. Then a sprint was inevitable.
and with 1 killometer I was in charge of guiding Nizzolo to the line.
and the sprint wasn't even close as Nizzolo took it with me and Rast behind him a triple oh my gosh, this was a great race for us.

But I will post the link to my new PCM 2012 Tony Gallopin story. I am way to far in my Cofidis story to switch to PCM 2012 in that one though.
