Hincapie will be there just because I need a lead-out of the sprints. Gerdemann and maybe Boom are the leaders.

Tour de Pologne Stage 1
The breakaway.
There was a pretty big crash in the pack and the 3 leaders from Rabobank went down... Arvesen, Posthuma and Reus.
Here in Pologne will be Hincapie's last race in the Rainbow jersey and for Columbia, but it performing too good
Now Eisel is trying to get back in the battle for the first places all by himself
Richeze makes an interesting move. Eisel, Brown, Haussler and Casper are still pretty close
But the win goes to the Argentinian sprinter, who had some problems with the anti-doping tests when he was riding for CSF.
Results
1.  Max Richeze Euskaltel - Euskadi 3h49'00
2.  Heinrich Haussler Gerolsteiner s.t.
3.  Jimmy Casper Agritubel s.t.
4. Juan José Haedo Team CSC - Saxo Bank s.t.
5.  Graeme Brown Rabobank s.t.
6.  Bernhard Eisel Team Columbia s.t.

Vuelta a Espana Stage 14
Devine had no problems winning the first climb of the day
On the last climb the escapes were caught and Pellizotti made the first attack
Cunego, Samuel Sanchez and Soler were after him
But Soler seems to be stronger than the others and he takes some metres advantage
This is looking really good for Soler. He's winning second after seconds
A lot of riders tried to catch him, one of them being Kloden, who tried to get back the time he lost in the flat stages
Cunego was again very strong and he was Soler's main chaser on the last part of the climb
But he couldn't stop Soler, who was just too good today
Cunego was second, keeping his the gold jersey and even taking the red one from Cavendish!
Lovkvist lost 2 minutes and a half today and an another place in the overall rankings

Tour de Pologne Stage 2
This is going to end in a mass sprint and Flecha was very fast in the last kilometres of the race, but he forgot to take Brown with him
Hincapie is feeling better today and we have a better position in the pack now
Flecha is caught and Eisel seems to have the best position from the sprinters there
But on the other side of the road Valverde, Pozzato and Hushovd are coming really fast
Eisel makes his move, but it could be too late as Hushovd has already a good advantage
Hushovd wins. Eisel third.

yeah I should win some time there over the favourites so Lovkvist will have from where to lose.
Karpets will probably take the gold jersey with Lovkvist second after the TT. |
