Vuelta al Pais Vasco Stage 5

A lot of escapes. Rabon is one of them

On the last climb of the day an escape still leads the race, it's David Lopez

But the favourites are coming. Samuel Sanchez and Barredo are the first

Then Kirchen and the other big names

On the downhill a chasing group is made behind Lopez by Kirchen, Barredo and Cobo

Because he tried to be very fast on the downhill, Samuel Sanchez crashed and he finshed behind the pack

Luis Leon Sanchez catches Kirchen's group on the last small hill of the day and Kim tries an another attack

And he even catches Lopez

As David Lopez is tired, no problem for Kirchen to beat him in the sprint

Third stage win for Kirchen and he even gets a gap between him and the other big names so the final overall victory looks very close now.

1. Kim Kirchen Team Columbia 4h12'09

Vuelta al Pais Vasco Final Stage

Good early times for Wiggins, Hansen and Pinotti

But then the good ones like Larsson, Bruseghin, Nibali or Vaugrenard came and they were beaten

Thomas Dekker came with an excellent time very hard to be beaten

Popovych starting his race for a good performance

A good performance for Schumacher too but not brilliant

Luis Leon Sanchez will try to beat Kirchen. He's second behind Dekker at the finish post

Kirchen leads the race after the first intermediate but at the finish he is just third, still that means that he won the overall rankings of the race

Stage
1. Thomas Dekker Rabobank 33'07
2. Luis León Sánchez AG2R La Mondiale + 12
3. Kim Kirchen Team Columbia + 15
4. Yaroslav Popovych Silence - Lotto s.t.

Paris - Roubaix

No breakaway when the first cobbles arrived

An attack by Flecha with 50km to go

Cancellara is the first to go after him

Then Hushovd and Hincapie

And we soon had a lot of big names in the front group, but Hincapie doens't look very good

Cancellara and Ballan went then by themselves letting the others behind

An acceleration by Cancellara and Ballan can't respond. The big move?

Fabian is first on the velodrome

His main chasers are Ballan and Flecha

With Devolder not far away

O'Grady and Gilbert are in the next group

Behind them Pozzato and our leader, Hincapie

A group with Vansummeren, Hoste, Van Avermaet, Langeveld, Breschel and Burghardt entered the velodrome right when Cancellara was doing his last lap

So Cancellara celebrates his win in The Hell of the North with Silence doing a team pursuit on his right

Flecha gets a deserved second place

Hincapie couldn't beat Pozzato in the sprint so he is only 8th

But at least we had 2 riders in top 10, Burghardt being last in the top.

Results
1. Fabian Cancellara Team CSC - Saxo Bank 7h21'52
2. Juan Antonio Flecha Rabobank + 1'07
3. Alessandro Ballan Lampre s.t.
4. Stijn Devolder Quick·Step + 1'38
5. Stuart O'Grady Quick·Step + 2'01
6. Philippe Gilbert Française des Jeux s.t.
7. Filippo Pozzato Liquigas + 3'12
8. George Hincapie Team Columbia s.t.
9. Matti Breschel Team CSC - Saxo Bank + 3'42
10. Marcus Burghardt Team Columbia s.t. |

Amstel Gold Race

A lot of riders in the breakaway today.

Rebellin tried his chance with an early attack

Attacks from Schleck and Aerts. Rebellin is caught.

Dekker and Kirchen are there too

Then Kirchen tries to take the race on his own

He has now almost one minute advantage over a group of 30 riders, with all the big names in that group

But at the end of Keutenberg he is caught by some of those favourites

So now a big group is fighting for the win. Schleck, Kirchen, Dekker, Pellizotti, Schumacher, Wegmann, Voigt, Valverde, Elmiger, Vaugrenard, Cunego, Nocentini and Vanendert are all there

An another attack from Kirchen!

Dekker is the first one to go after him

And now Thomas took the lead

More problems for Kirchen as Voigt cames on board

Dekker looks like going to win today

Kirchen and Voigt aren't secure with their places on the podium as Valverde, Schleck and Wegmann are coming fast

So Dekker takes the win in Amstel Gold Race

Kirchen was beaten by Valverde and Schleck but he managed to keep his ass in front of Fabi Wegmann and took the fifth spot

Results
1. Thomas Dekker Rabobank 6h33'35
2. Jens Voigt Quick·Step + 25
3. Alejandro Valverde Caisse d'Epargne s.t.
4. Fränk Schleck Team CSC - Saxo Bank s.t.
5. Kim Kirchen Team Columbia + 37
6. Fabian Wegmann Team CSC - Saxo Bank s.t.
7. Stefan Schumacher Gerolsteiner s.t.
8. Martin Elmiger AG2R La Mondiale s.t.
9. Rinaldo Nocentini AG2R La Mondiale s.t.
10. Jelle Vanendert Française des Jeux s.t. |

Then Cav takes the lead right in the last corner

And a easy win for Mark.
