I'm giving you post 5884  The special number.
Loving the Rojas results, and Bozic is doing alright too, although not very consistent.
It certainly has to be this special star-things NGC 5584

@roturn: Again great results in Oman!
EDIT: what was I thinking? i'm seriousely mixing Garmin and Pelli's story up! 
correction: @Pelli instead of @roturn

Thanks guys! And a special thank you to valverde for the dedicated post number! Just because of all the nice comments, you get an extra report!
Project squad:

Remember last year's triple here? Well, to say the least, we don't expect to repeat that. However, we are confident that Boom has the capacity of delivering a decent result even though his shape isn't on top right now.

Lots of big names starting their season here. Tom Boonen has to be named as the main favourite because of the flat finish, with Thor Hushovd being his main rival. Also Fabian Cancellara, Björn Leukemans and a reborn Leif Hoste deserves a mention.
Omloop Het Nieuwsblaad - Report
One of the easier cobbled classics. Not a lot of paved sections on the route, and those present features a long way out from the finish line. Therefore a mass sprint from a reduced peloton is the most likely scenario.
One attack spoiled the party for the sprinters. Dimitri Muravyev's move just as we entered the final five kilometres seemed not to mind the bigger names, who all made a big mistake letting the Ukrainian go. Sep Vanmarcke and Leif Hoste completed the day's podium, while Boom got blocked in the finale and missed a split, thus finishing 17th.

Project squad:

Remember last year's quadruple here? Well, to say the least, we don't expect to repeat that. As you might have noticed, it's more or less the same here. The squad too. Boom still the leader, but with Bozic joining the squad to boost our chances in an eventual mass sprint finish.
Startlist and favourites:
Spoiler Unfortunately I forgot to export the startlist.
A 6th place in Het Nieuwsblaad after launching from far behind proved that Tom Boonen is fit enough to once again be mentioned as main favourite. This time however, his main competition will come from pure sprinters rather than cobbled specialists. José Joaquin Rojas and Koldo Fernández have both been in great shape lately, so I'll flag for them.
Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne - Report
As I've already mentioned, even though this is a cobbled classic, it's more favourable to sprinters than the cobbled specialists themselves. That's because of the small amount of pavé, and mainly the long, uncobbled flat run-in towards the finish.
Much better outcome for us here than yesterday. Unfortunately neither Boom or Bozic could respond when Jurgen Roelandts jumped into the lead, and not when Tom Boonen tried to close his countryman down. However, a third and a fourth place is far better than expected.

Thx.
Project squad:

Jakob Fuglsang starts his season by taking the leader's role here. Together with Sergey Lagutin he'll be trying something on stage two, and then try to limit his losses in stage three's time trial. Also Kluge might score us some points, but with all the squad in weak shape, it's mostly up to luck.

Biggest name taking part here is obviously ex-doper Alejandro Valverde, who starts his first race of the season after making his comeback with the Garmin squad. Apart from him, the only other real big name participating here is another Spaniard, Igor Anton. I'd say it's between them.
Vuelta a la Región de Murcia - Stage 1
The three-day event kicks off with the easiest of the three parts. Some smaller climbs on the route to the finish on this relatively flat day of racing. However, the small hills and the descent leading down to the finish favours a late punchy attack from an Ardennes specialist. Valverde already?
With Lagutin making his season debut, I want to use the moment to thank Sykkel_Freak for his awesome new Uzbekian champion's jersey. Everyone on the team really likes it.
Just as I suspected, a late move succeeded. Euskaltel's Xavier Florencio was the one who made reality out of the clever tactic, allowing him to solo down the final descent to a stage win on home ground. Arnaud Coyot from the early breakaway held on to second, with Robert Förster nipping the sprint for third.

Vuelta a la Región de Murcia - Stage 2
The queen stage of the race is day number two, featuring the hard Alto de Bermejo, which is separated from the finish line by just a short descent. The race is expected to be decided up the slopes of the Bermejo, with the pre-race favourites trying to shake off race leader Florencio.
Being by far the biggest pre-race favourite apparently didn't prevent Alejandro Valverde from making his return on the very top. The Spaniard cracked everyone on the final ascent, and then fended off Florencio, early day escapee Iñigo Cuesta and Fuglsang in the descent.

Vuelta a la Región de Murcia - Stage 3
To seal up the overall completely, the race organizers has put a shortish time trial as the third and last day of racing. The twelve kilometres might not create huge gaps, but it's surely enough for Valverde to try to claw back the 23 seconds he needs on Florencio.
The returning show continued today, with Valverde showing his strength once again by winning the TT. Florencio fought hard to defend his jersey, but ended up losing it by just six seconds. Fuglsang's bad form reduced his capacity today, unfortunately forcing him to drop from third to fourth overall.

He's born in March '85, so I think not.
I agree with the others, nice result for a season beginning. And I really like the reports. Will they all be that short (don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind) or will you report the bigger races in more detail?

Definitely was a bit frustrating. But thanks!

Thanks a lot.
And thanks for asking that question! I was just waiting for someone to do that, so that I could tell you about my plans.
What I have planned is to more or less all races like this. The exception will be the Giro and the Vuelta, plus probably also the World Championships.

What about Le Tour? 
Anyway, solid race from Fuglsang. Another top-5 from the team, becoming a bigger fan of Project 1t4i.  |

No Tour for us this year. Our squad isn't big enough to race three GT's in a season. Therefore I've decided to duck the one where we have the least chance of a good result. 
Oh, and I'm very glad to hear that you like the team!

Agreed. Especially without top form.

You have to tell them, right away, like I do, even when they dont want to hear it

Very well done. A 4th place with Jakob isn't bad at all. Because of that, i will dedicate my post nr. 22 to you.
Proud, eh?
