Synergy Baku Jersey
Database: PCMDaily 2014
Evolution: 0.8
Difficulty: Normal
Background
Cycling in Azerbaijan hasn't been the most popular of sports. In a country whose National Teams are far from the best maybe it is time for this country put its National flag on the world stage of Cycling. With the country having its first cycling race the Tour of Azerbaijan it is time for its first ever sponsored cycling team, Synergy Baku.
The team have some young riders from the home nation but most of the success that they hope to get will come from riders like Maksym Averin, Matt Brammeier and Markus Eibbeger. There is a hope here that one day this team will achieve World Tour status. But that all depends on whether the Sponsors stay after the first season and only results will determine that!

Team Leaders
Maksym Averin 
Averin at the age of 28 is our main sprinter this season. The Ukrainian will be hoping to grab a few stage wins and help the world to see this new team Azerbaijan become well known.
Matt Brammeier 
Brammeier is the current Irish National Champion. The Liverpool born 28 year old will be hoping to get back to his best after a season with Champion Systems. He will want to show why the now defunct HTC Highroad team signed him to bring him to the top all those years ago.
Phil Lavery
Lavery will be hoping to finally bring success to a stop start career so far for the Irishman. He will be a strong ally for Averin in the sprints but will be given the chance to ride for himself.

3 sprinters as leader? I'd rather put up Eibegger as one of the leaders

Stage 2 is one for the sprinters. A 144km stage starting in Palmerston North and finishing in Palmerston North.

Today's break took over 40km's to establish after a number of attacks. But it was Korevaar who went clear of the peleton.
Vini Fantini seen the danger of the peleton not managing the lone break. With Korevaar in danger of taking the stage Vini Fantini upped the pace of the peleton.
This caused a huge split in the peleton as only 44 riders remained in the lead group with 15kms to go.
But they could not catch Korevaar who takes the stage win and the leader's jersey. He know has a lead of 1"06 in GC.
Maksym Averin won the sprint for second. The Ukrainian moves into 2nd overall. But it will be a difficult job to overhaul Korevaar now.

Stage 5- Palmerston North Circuit
Today is the final stage here in New Zealand. This will be the last chance for those sprinters who have yet to get their win here. Averin will also be looking to defend his sprinters jersey.
Race Report
Segers, O'Shea, Souza, Topchanyuk all made it into the final break of this years race.
O'Shea took both KOM points in today's stage further adding to his tally from yesterday's stage.
But with hungry sprinters wanting the stage win the break was soon caught.
Unlucky Averin became the nearly man of this tour as he was once again pipped on the line. This time Gavazzi pipped Averin to take the final stage.
