Fleche Wallone...as it is hilly classic we can expect again lot of action and also lot of images again..
First breakaway group Halgand, Pereiro and Duque...this is solid group..peloton should be afraid Halgand who has show'd already at this season few great solo rides. Pereiro- dont expect much..he is still should be far at his best form.
101km. to go..hill atack Cobo opens and Paulinho with Vila follows.....this is far to early (I had my lessons in Amstel Gold...with this CYA hilly classics you should be careful at every move you take)
 
Cobo atack is over..peloton now "moving"..one and stupid and shortest atack what I have ever seen..Leiphaimer trys to do..what?..in front same time still 55km. to go..Duque cant follow..now on Halgand with Pereiro.
Ok..this is fun starts. Bettini opens the show at 40km. mark..Sanchez follows also Cunego (who must be already in decent form..Giro is just behind the door) follows.
26km. mark...Kirchen atacks..Sanchez again follows this time with Boogerd..also Gerolsteiner duo. Horner come on keep up..this might be the moment.
This is unlucky ..rider who created that breakaway is down...Sanchez, Rebellin, Schumacher, Boogerd and Cunego gonna form first group.
19km. to go..Bettini try's to do something brave..he jumps up at peloton and trying to chase down all alone that first stong group.
Last hill..before uphill finish. Rebllin move..he has left 4 at his companions behind..
Almost at same place..few moment's later Horner decided..he have to try something..eve take a 6th. place and UCI points will be award.
Bettini atacking again...this time he's trying to get Horner backwheel. No chanche also noticed that Bettini getting realy tyred..this last uphill finish will be hard for him.
 
Downhill section..at first Rebellin ..then Boogerd who is leading a chase group.
 
Last km. is close..then I see something weird.Adriatico superstar Schumacher is atacking against he's own team mate. But Rebellin has also something left...after all amazing double for Gerolsteiner.
Horner was a little worried in last km..Dekker was closing so fast..and here is the finish line..6th.

This it..season goal - finish in podium. Again pictures warning...there gonna be blenty.
Pereiro cant follow today..wallone breakaway still on his bones?..dont know
50km. to first atack but serious one..Bernucci opens..Schleck, Schumacher,Cunego..Horner dont want to replay he's Wallone mistake..he trys to follow that attempt.
And he made it..strong 5 have escaped...chase is on.
38km. to go...Schumacher and Bettini atacks..those guys are serious today. Schumacher wants to something to confort he's Wallone 2nd. He is in good shape.
Same time at behind..CYA tour leader Sanchez understand's that he have missed most important atack today..he trys to chase them down.
 
Looking good he catches Cunego back..at the same time Schleck gets same info..and hit a gas. Horner moves in front and gonna help Schleck because this is might be a chanche to finish in podium.
 
Same time at front..there is clear gap between Schumacher and Bettini. Shumacher sems to ride for clear win today..maybe Schleck and Horner have a chance to chase down Bettini.
They cant get closer then 30sec...Bettini must be in great shape.
Schumacher wins the stage.
..and look at that. Horner beats F.Schleck in the line..and we got..exatly what sponsors wanted..podium spot.
Evans 49th....he was much better position in last km..but he crashed..damn I was worried. I was glad to notice that we was himself able to cross the line..no he should take a small break at least no tour de Romandie for him.

Stage 1 (prologue)
Fribourg
Prologue...has fast this 5km. will go..I decided to post some favorite's. In start list we have few Giro main favorites who testing he's form before important event. Cunego has shown already in Liege race..decent form. Now we can find out how Di Luca, Savoldelli improving.
Ag2r captain Moreau (10th. +3sec.)
Carlos Sastre (70th. +12sec.)
Andt Schleck (31. +9sec.)
Di Luca...(8. +3sec.)
Sanchez Gonzales again in the startlist..he realy wants to decide CYA top tour win..at the early base of the season. Today he has been strong again 2nd. and +0 sec.
I also have reason this time talk about Predictor-Lotto team after prologue Roesems (11th. +4sec.)..and Dario Cioni (4th. +1sec.)
Todays winner coming for Astana team..Savoldelli.
