The race
While Milano-San Remo is raced today, we are still in Croatia. Today we finish uphill once again. This means we will probably get a scenario that is very similar to yesterday.
8 riders manage to break away today. Spengler, Bodnar and Sorensen the most important riders. At KoM1, Spengler secures the polkadots.
The pack is lead by Bontrager, Jamis and Palmeiras.
The lead maxxes to 5min09. Sorensen now drops from the lead group due to a puncture.
Spengler is also in the lead at KoM2.
The sprint is won by Bodnar.
KoM3 again for the polkadots. He is having a very good form at the moment.
A group of 5 riders breaks from the pack: Selander, Norris, Blikra, Pedersen and Pellaud.
5kms left: Blikra up front, 25sec ahead of the group. The pack at more than 2min.
Final km: Blikra leads the sprint of 12 riders.
Victory for
This is expected when Mourey become world champion. It has failed to do this year, why not next year Hoogerheide ? Pedersen. 2nd is Blikra, 3rd Norris. Pellaud is 9th. Pedersen takes over GC. Blikra is the best young rider.
The final stage of the Istrian Spring Trophy, and it is flat. The GC and KoM are probably decided, but we will see what will happen today.
At KoM1, a group of 4 riders has taken a minute: Freiberg wins ahead of Santamaria, Schiewer and Piamonte.
No battle at sprint 1.
The break of the day eventually consists of 10 riders. The 4 mentioned before are joined by Stuyven, Dvorsky, Vorre, Miller, Sutterlin and Pereira.
The pace in the pack is made by Optum and 5Hour Energy.
The pack lets the lead grow to a maximum of about 4min30.
No battle at sprint 2 and 3.
With 20kms left, the lead is still 1min20. Nothing is over yet.
The last rider is reeled in 2,5kms from the line.
At the line it is
A photo finish! Victory for Pedersen. He has a minimal gap to Zabel. 3rd is Hester. Pedersen already led the GC, he holds on! He gets the green as bonus. Best -25 rider is Blikra and the KoM of course for Spengler.

Finally a good report, and a good race and the KoM is a nice bonus. If Zabel hadnt done well the last stage a top 10 could have been possible. Next race is Normandie or San Giuseppe
Today we start in the Tour de Normandie. This tour has 8 stages and apart from a short prologue they should all end in a mass sprint. This of course means the sprinters are favorite for the race. An attack might always interrupt.
Race profiles:
Our squad:
121. B. Grenda
122. A. Donnelly
123. C. Ewan
124. A. Loutit
125. T. Palmer
126. J. Prete
Today we have the start of the Tour de Normandie, in Mondeville, with a 4.8km long prologue with a short hill. Even though it's very cold, the specialists are still favorite.
The first rider to start is Van der Weijst for Jo Piels. He sets the first time to beat at 7min07.
The first favorite to start is Poux. He sets the new time to beat at 6min50.
Our first rider to start is Prete. His time is 16 seconds slower than the one of our leader.
The next favorite to start is Jarrier. He loses just 2 seconds to Poux.
Now Palmer gets the current 9th time, 7 seconds behind.
The next favorite to start is Friedman. While he starts Ewan sets the current 8th time, 2 seconds behind. Friedman is the 4th(!) rider to set a time of 6min50. He takes the provisional lead.
Grenda does well and loses just 3 seconds.
The next favorite to start is Trussov. While he is still on the way, top favorite Engoulvent starts. Eeckhout comes right after him.
Trussov takes over the lead with a 6min47. Engoulvent beats that with a 6min43. Eeckhout loses 5 seconds.
That means Engoulvent gets the leaders jersey for tomorrow. The best -25rider is Vermeltfoort.

Today we have the GP San Giuseppe. This race is called flat, but with these hills on the way a puncher or even the breakway might succeed. To win, you should at least be good in the hills, or you will be dropped. The finish is slightly uphill.
The break of the day contains 3 riders: Springer (Vorarlberg), Bertazzo (Androni) and Lane (Scott-Tissot).
The lead in the pack is taken by Cult Energy.
The pack lets the lead grow and with 70kms left, the lead is 8min19! The break might stand a very good chance today.
With 60kms left, the lead has even grown to 8min59!
Going into the final lap, 19kms from the line, the lead is 11min38. The pack has resigned. That seems to give trouble.'
While Reihs makes an attack, Law had to climb into the team car.
5kms from the line: The group still in front, with an 8 minute lead. Everything is ready for a sprint.
Final km: Lane tries to come out of Bertazzo's wheel.
Who will win? Bertazzo. He is clearly stronger than Lane and Springer.
The best of the pack is Gatto. Lovelock-Fay is 5th, Groenewegen 7th. Winner comment: Bertazzo's win was fully deserved, as he set up the break by himself.

DNF Scott Law Scott - Tissot Development Team DNF
Comment: Scott will be out until the beginning of april. After Normandy our next race is then, so he will only lose his rhythm.
No racing today. I really had no time. I might post tomorrow, but only if I have finished packing my bag. I am going to Rome for school for a week and will return next week wednesday. So I post or tomorrow, or next week thursday or maybe even friday
Today, we don't have high exspectations. Even though the race is called flat, some hills are on the way. The winner should still be a sprinter, but a break is eager to change that. The wind might also play a role.
Our break of the day consists of 4 riders: Acevedo (Jamis), Lammertink (Jo Piels), Flotten (Joker) and Loutit (Scott-Tissot).
The pace in the pack is set by Europcar, Sojasun, De Rijke and Sean Kelly.
At KoM1, Acevedo beats Loutit and Flotten.
At KoM2, Loutit beats Acevedo and Lammertink.
At sprint 1, the same result as KoM2.
The pack lets the lead grow to a max of 8min32.
At the final KoM, Flotten beats Loutit and Lammertink, meaning Loutit will be the first KoM of this tour.
At sprint 2, the same result as sprint 1. The lead here, with 33,5kms left, is still 2min32.
The breakaway is reeled in 13kms from the line. We will now prepare for the mass sprint.
Victory for Chavanel. He beats Eeckhout and Ewan, who had a really high speed, but was blocked in the beginning. Grenda secures a 9th spot. The GC lead is for Eeckhout, as well as the points. Ewan is the best -25 rider and nr4 in the GC.

A great return! 3rd is more than expected. BTW, Since I am really tired, I may have made some mistakes. If so, please tell so I can change it. Stage 3 hopefully up tomorrow.
