Good luck. I think 2-3 guys are overrated but that shouldn't make problem. Also , you could do a bit detailed preparation,but that's not problem,also. |

Time Trial Australian championship : Ballarat - Ballarat (39km)
 
The first is named Thomas Wrona, 19, from the team Hincapie Development. He will not make a good time : 56 minutes and 10 seconds. He will be exceeded by Stuart O'Grady, in 54 minutes and 54 seconds.
Michael Matthews made a very good time !53 minutes and 53 seconds, 23 seconds ahead of Malcolm Rudolph, from Drapac.
Matthew Lloyd is gone ! He can not do much against Evans and Co., but he will try to do everything possible today.
What a disappointment for Lloyd! After signing two good intermediates , he loses 1 minute 30 on the last one !
Jack Bobridge will fail to retain his title, beaten by Michael Matthews. We are still waiting Richie Porte, Cadel Evans and Michael Rogers.
VICTORY FOR MICHAEL ROGERS! The former world champion won the Australian championship quite easily.

Australian Championship : Bunniyong - Bunniyong (195 km)
The 81 riders will make several laps under a blazing sun.
Luke Ockerby is the first who attacked. But he failed.
The breakeway is finally composed by two riders : Malcolm Rudolph from Drapac, and Daniel Summerhill from UnitedHealthcare.
Under the impulse of Orica-GreenEDGE, the pack comes at great speed on the breakaway which had up to 8 minutes ahead the peloton.
At three laps from the finish line, the two fugitives still have 2 minutes. Will that does it ?
We enter the last lap ! The peloton have in sight the break, we are heading to a massive sprint. Unless one of the outsiders otherwise.
It's an attack of Matthew Lloyd ! At 5 kilometers from the finish, the former Lotto rider takes a few meters ahead of the pack. Only Mitchell Docker answer the attack.
We are at 3 kilometers from the finish ! Lloyd and Docker took 25 seconds ahead the pack, and they are followed by the surprising Rudolph.
MATTHEW LLOYD WINS ! While Rudolph thought that he won his national championship, Lloyd exceeds him and won at the photo-finish.

Santos Tour Down Under
For several years, the Santos Tour Down Under opens the WorldTour circuit. Many big names will be present, as Thor Hushovd, Edvald Boasson Hagen and Moreno Moser. The sprinters are also there! We should see Peter Sagan, Arnaud Démare and Marcel Kittel raise their arms in the days to come. The recent New Zealand champion, Greg Henderson, is also present.
Giuseppe Saronni decides to take on the roads of south australia Alessandro Petacchi and Damiano Cunego who will be the leaders of the team. They will be accompanied by José Serpa, Mattia Cattaneo, Andrea Palini, Roberto Ferrari and Daniele Pietropolli.
Stage 1: Adelaide - Lobethal (139 km)
The riders start rather slowly this Tour Down Under. After crossing Checker Hill, ranked second category, the riders will complete three laps around Lobethal, place of arrival of the first step. Favorites are Peter Sagan (Cannondale), Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre) and Marcel Kittel (Argos).
Just Adelaide party, José Ivan Gutierrez goes on the offensive. Without success.
The break is now composed of nine riders: Fredrik Willems (Lotto), Pavel Brutt (Katusha), José Ivan Gutierrez (Movistar), Nelson Oliveira (RadioShack), Ian Stannard (Sky), Mickael Delage (FDJ), Maxime Bouet (AG2R), Jack Bobdridge (Blanco) and Francesco Gavazzi (Astana).
Up Checker Hill, it's Mickaël Delage who was smarter than others. Bouet, Gutierrez Gavazzi and Brutt divides the remaining points.
Double blow for Delage ! He won the first intermediate sprint ahead Willems and Bouet.
Francesco Gavazzi wins the other two sprints once ahead Stannard and Delage, and again ahead Bouet and Delage.
Alessandro Petacchi is very well positioned in the wheel of Ferrari. Lampre is leading under the banner of 3 km! Will Petacchi win?
VICTORY FOR PETER SAGAN! Alessandro Petacchi couldn't do anything against Tourminator. The lithuanian Aidis Kruopis completed the podium.
And as a bonus, Greg Henderson and his new jersey!

Santos Tour Down Under : 2nd stage : Mount Barker - Rostrevor (116 km)
It is a relatively flat stage awaits the riders today. But the rise of Montacute 10 km from the finish could be fatal to some sprinters.
Adam Hansen, 111th overall, was the first to try his luck.
The breakaway is composed by Gaëtan Bille (85th at 10'' ), Jérémy Roy (98th at 10'' ), Martin Velits (106th at 10'' ), Lieuwe Westra (48th at 10'' ) and Hayden Roulston (108th at 10'' ). They will be joined by Pavel Brutt (9th to 9'' ).
Roulston won the frist sprint against Martin Veltis and Lieuwe Westra.
 
The Argos of Kittel are afraid of Pavel Brutt, ninth in overall ranking. The peloton then return early on breakaway, despite the last stand of Roulston.
Adam Hansen won the second intermediate sprint ahead Petacchi and Kittel.
The peloton arrives on the slopes of Montacute. Damiano Cunego out of the pack with Sandy Casar jersey for best climber. He won the sprint ahead of Cameron Wurf, Sandy Casar, Pablo Urtasun and Mikhail Ignatiev. Cunego took a minute ahead! It feels good for the stage win ...
Peter Sagan try to follow Cunego, he is accompagnied by Pablo Urtasun, Sandy Casar, Christian Knees and Mikhail Ignatiev.
We are at 3 kilometers from the finish, and Cunego still have 1 minute and 20 seconds. He's going to win !!
DAMIANO CUNEGO WINS ! Peter Sagan and the pack are at 50 seconds.

Santos Tour Down Under : 3ème étape : Unley - Stirling (136 km)
After the hard climb of Mount Barker, the riders will complete six laps of a circuit around Stirling, arrival city.
Jack Bobridge (Blanco), Australian former champion, was the first to attack.
Damiano Cunego won the Mountain GP very easily at top of Mount Barker, ahead Luis Leon Sanchez (Blanco), Jure Kocjan (Euskaltel), Gianni Meersman (Omega) and Jan Bakelants (RadioShack).
Here is the breakaway of day! Jens Voigt (77th at 2'32'' ), Andrey Lutsenko (44th at 1'02'' ) and Maxime Bouet (85th at 3'34'' ). Jens Voigt won both intermediate sprints before Lutsenko and Bouet which reversed their positions on the sprints.
 
With Daniele Pietropolli and Mattia Cattaneo, the pack looks back on the breakaway riders. Riders like Hushovd (No. 81), Tleubayev (No. 127) or Howard (No. 155) are dropped.
Wow! Damiano Cunego in the wheel Andrea Palini takes a few meters ahead of the pack! A second stage win?
Maybe not! Under the banner of five kilometers, Peter Sagan looks back on Damiano Cunego, who no longer has Palini to help. It will be decided between these two!
SECOND VICTORY FOR PETER SAGAN ! Damiano Cunego was helpless to cope with the top speed of the Slovak. But he retains his leader's jersey with 42 seconds ahead of Sagan.
...
28 Mattia Cattaneo at 4'14''
48 Roberto Ferrari at 8'42''
57 Alessandro Petacchi at 11'32'' |
