The climbers that won't participate in the Ardennes classics, but that want to get in shape for the Giro d'Italia, are present in the Giro del Trentino. This very hard 4-stage race in the Northeastern part of Italy features a flat time trial, a hilly stage and 2 mountain stages. No wonder that a pure climber as José Rujano took the GC-win last year.

Our Team
The Favourites
*** Cadel Evans (Katusha), Wilco Kelderman, Peter Velits (Astana).
** Mattia Cattaneo (Farnese Vini), Domenico Pozzovivo (Colnago), Simon Spilak (Lampre).
* Jérome Coppel (Acqua et Sapone), Kevin De Weert (Androni), Daniele Pietropolli (Omega Pharma).
Our Goal
To get Wilco Kelderman in a better shape. But a top 5 should be doable.
Stage 1
The Giro del Trentino kicks off with a 13km flat ITT from Riva del Garda to Arco. One of the first riders to start is Nespresso's Dane Alex Rasmussen. His time of 17'49 will last for a long time and not even the GC-guns of Cadel Evans and Wilco Kelderman can beat that time. So Rasmussen wins the first stage, followed by Frantisek Rabon (Omega Pharma) at '8 and Sébastien Rosseler at '11.
From the GC-contenders, Kelderman rides the best ITT (5th at '13), followed by Velits (+ '20) and Evans (+ '26).
Results and GC
| 1 |  Alex Rasmussen | Nespresso - Algarve | 17'49 | | 2 |  Frantisek Rabon | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step | + 8 | | 3 |  Sébastien Rosseler | Petronas - Monster Energy | + 11 | | 4 | Dominique Cornu | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | + 13 | | 5 |  Wilco Kelderman | Petronas - Monster Energy | s.t. | | 6 | Piet Rooijakkers | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | + 16 | | 7 |  Peter Velits | Pro Team Astana | + 20 | | 8 |  Stefan Schumacher | Team Type 1 | + 21 | | 9 |  Cadel Evans | Katusha Team | + 26 | | 10 |  Andrey Kashechkin | Alitalia | + 27 |
Today's winner
Word from the DS
Very nice for Rosseler to score a top 3 and a surprisingly good start for Kelderman!

Bernard's really developed to get some great 5th places. Hopefully Vanendert will have better form for L-B-L

I never commented in your story, but always followed. For a good cause I'll help out to reach the numbers that this great story deserves.
Nice places with Bernard and good luck for Trentino. |

I also followed the stroy for a long, long time before I ever commented. But I didn't knew then that Dienblad and I lived in the same town.
