Tirreno - Adriatico - Stage 1
Welcome in Tirreno - Adriatico!
This year's edition starts with a team time trial. It's strange and almost unbelievable, but Willy is defending champion here! The team time trial went fairly well!
Result
| 1 | Radioshack Nissan Trek | 19'46 | | | 2 | Rabobank Cycling Team | + 11 | | | 3 | Team Argos-Shimano | + 20 | IanButler | | 4 | Team Garmin-Barracuda | s.t. | | | 5 | BMC Racing Team | + 35 | | | 6 | Astana Pro Team | + 37 | | | 7 | Orica-GreenEDGE | s.t. | | | 8 | Liquigas-Cannondale | + 46 | | | 9 | Vacansoleil-DCM Pro Cycling Team | + 56 | | | 10 | FDJ-BigMat | s.t. | | | 11 | Katusha Team | + 1'06 | | | 12 | Bango - Fostina | s.t. | | | 13 | Sky Pro Cycling | + 1'08 | | | 14 | Omega Pharma-Quick-Step Cycling Team | + 1'12 | | | 15 | Cofidis, Le Crédit en Ligne | s.t. | | | 16 | Lotto Belisol | + 1'21 | | | 17 | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | | 18 | Farnese Vini Selle Italia | + 1'34 | | | 19 | Lampre-ISD | + 1'41 | | | 20 | Team Europcar | s.t. | |
Tirreno - Adriatico - Stage 2
The first real stage. It's one for the sprinters.
Let's see if Stijn could carry his golden form into a golden prize!
Last year I stunted here. This year I feel a bit off. Compared to last year I'm really at a low point at the moment. But we'll have to wait for the mountains to be sure.
Pieter Serry took a bad fall there. He's all right though.
And preparing for the sprint there was another bad fall. No rider of Argos was involved, luckily!
I finished safely inside the pack. My legs were not that bad today, makes me hopeful.
It was a strange sprint today, way weird.
Spoiler Damn PCM sprinting bug struck again... 
I had Sagan's wheel when he went full gas!
He's fast, but I felt a lot faster! It was time to cash in my good form once more!
And I did it! It's ironic. In the end, I've developed into a real sprinter faster than into a real classic rider...
Result
| 1 | Stijn Van Gent | Team Argos-Shimano | 6h03'46 | IanButler | | 2 | Peter Sagan | Liquigas-Cannondale | s.t. | | | 3 | Kenneth Vanbilsen | FDJ-BigMat | s.t. | | | 4 | Dries Devenyns | Omega Pharma-Quick-Step Cycling Team | s.t. | | | 5 | Francesco Gavazzi | Astana Pro Team | s.t. | | | 6 | Yoann Offredo | FDJ-BigMat | s.t. | | | 7 | Alessandro Petacchi | Lampre-ISD | s.t. | | | 8 | José Joaquin Rojas Gil | Katusha Team | s.t. | | | 9 | Yauheni Hutarovich | FDJ-BigMat | s.t. | |
Tomorrow's another chance.
Spoiler Let's hope for a sprint without bugs, it's really annoying...
Until then,
Stijn & Willy |

SSJ2Luigi, Miguel98 - It's the famous PCM12 sprinting bug. With 8km left to go, everyone sits up riding at 30 km/h and no lead-outs are formed. Very annoying 
krisa - I just made a mistake in copy-paste, the whole peloton finished, don't worry  |

It should be strange only nine riders finishing. Because on the last picture you see at least 20 guys

krisa - Oh okay. I just didn't understand what you meant, sorry
No problem at all!
There won't be any more updates today. Tomorrow I'll definitely do a race or two. Saturday will be hard (maybe once race). Thanks for following! |

Good thing Stijn is winning, but I think he wants to trade a few for winning a cobbled classic this year
Kenneth Vanbilsen keeps getting excellent results as well
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
