Hi Guys i am about to embark on a new job as team manager and director sportif of Astana Pro Team . We have a really talented team for the 2012 season, joining the team is Vinchenzo Nibali and his domestiques V.Agnoli and A.Vanotti, also joining is Jakob Fuglsang and the great italian sprinting sensation Andrea Guardini. We also would like to welcome neo-pro Fabio Aru to the team, under our guidance we feel Aru can be a pure climber. Our main aim is to get Astana back to the very top we will take on Sky head on for the next few years.
The leaders are:
Vinchenzo Nibali - Main goals are: Giro d'Italia, Tirreno Adriatico and Il Lombardia
Enrico Gasparotto - Ardennes classics and GT stage hunting
Janez Brajkovič - Week long stage races and Tour de France leader?
Maxim Iglinsky - Ardennes classics and the fall classics
Protected riders :
Andrea Guardini - Win a GT stage, semi classic
Jakob Fuglsang - 1 week stage races, will get his wish to lead a GT
Luxury Domestiques :
Paolo Tiralongo - will mainly be helper but could have free role sometime
The rest of the team

Santos Tour Down Under 2012
Race route:
We have also announced our squad for the race:
Iglinsky will lead the team, Guardini makes his debut and is keen to impress he is our sprinter, we dont expect too much with our shape at the moment.
We will try to win a stage and take a jersey home with us, we mean buisness.

Stage 1
Flat stage ideal for the spinters, we dont expect much here with the top 2 sprinters in the race a top 10 would be great.

Guys looking at this how can i cut the screens down without taking away the action because their were breaks all over the place. How many is necessary and when, 1 or 2 when the break is completly formed? do i need to take them on the imtermediate sprints? some feedback be nice thank you. |

Stage 2
The GC should be shook up today it will be hard for the sprinters to stay in the main bunch, we for sure our going on the attack.
Favourites - Iglinsky Menchov L.L.Sanchez
Our plan is to try and keep it tight early on so we can maybe nick a few bonus secs with Iglinsky. The race will come down too secs not minutes.

persionally I should get rid of putting pictures in spoilers as it get's very annoying to keep opening the spoilers. the forming of the break away isn't of the highest importance so for smaller stages only show the final break. you can show Intermediate sprints if you want to.
