Hi, my name is John Degenkolb. I'm 20 years old German cyclist, who is riding for German team Thuringer Energie. I'm beginning my second year in professional cycling. I want to become a sprint legend and you received chance to follow me and my (I hope) road to the top of pro cycling. Wink

Tour de San Luis - The Preview

Tour de San Luis is my first race in this season. I don't promise anything special, because I won't have good form for this race, but I think I can reach top 10 in points classification. Keep your fingers crossed! Grin

Tour de San Luis - Stage 1

Today we'll have flat stage for sprinters (something for me Pfft ) with easy climbs at beginning.

Team Roster & Startlist

The 2009 season had begun (for me)! At the first climb has been formed breakaway with Santaromita, Garcia-Casarrubias, Tanner, Bottasso and Buividas. Santaromita won the mountain sprint and gained 5 points to KoM classification.

i.imgur.com/XACCdWw.png

Tanner won two intermediate sprints. After the second one (it was 60 km remaining) breakaway had a 4'25 lead over the peloton.

i.imgur.com/TCcCbi7.png

When the peloton began to catch up breakaway, Santaromita and Tanner tried to counter. Unfortunately, it wasn't effective. After that my team had begun preparing to final sprint.

i.imgur.com/LTK6wZm.png

9 km before finish line happened crash with about 20 riders (include Capecchi, Zaugg, Herrada, Haedo and Sinkewitz, who has retired). Luckily I avoided the troubles Pfft

Kittel puts all his effort to give me good coditions to sprint.

1,5 km before finish I had begun sprint and......

When I got up of from bed I thought "I must attack today!" - I did it!

It has been formed huge group with 14 riders. I was very tired after first climbs, but I attacked again before intermediate sprint...

.....and I win it! As you can see at this picture, I was veeeeery happy Pfft After that I was struggling to grupetto.

Good win Smile
 
OZrocker
Nice! I like the idea of following a young rider who has become a star and seeing if he can do the same here. I wasn't really into cycling at this time so it's going to be interesting to watch what happens.

Serramenti appear to be too good here, but John is doing quite well for himself. I'm glad that Sinkewitz isn't going to win it Pfft
 
murao22
@sutty Thanks, but it was only intermediate sprint. Pfft
@OZrocker Thanks, I also wasn't following cycling at that time (I was only watching Tour of Poland and I knew few riders). Smile
 
trekbmc
Nice win. Grin

@OZrocker: He's in my MG team and can't win there either, I usually doubt wether he shows up.. Pfft

Flat city criterium. At this stage finally I can fight for high place.

i.imgur.com/qHpffPB.png

15 riders attacked today, include Vanotti and Herrada, but this group was chased (as every morning breakaway Pfft ) 60 km before finish.

Kittel again showed his power - he gave everything for me during making sprint train.

Let's sprint to the finish line! I have a good position to finish (thanks to Marcel)! Grin

Tour de San Luis - Stage 7


The last stage of this race - criterium (again) with 5 mountain bonuses.

i.imgur.com/Lw0Mr9b.png

I excepted attacks for the first KoM sprint and it happened - Benenati finished ahead Garcia. Third place for Bernucci (LPR), who attacked just before climb and overtaked them.

i.imgur.com/vAKfqHE.png

Bernucci won next three mountain bonuses and reached advantage about 5'10 (65 km before finish) ahead peloton with me.

i.imgur.com/OJdXu8m.png

60 km before finish peloton divided into two groups due to windy conditions. My team tried to seize the opportunity to chase Bernucci and it was worked hard, but Serramenti riders caught up group with me.

i.imgur.com/IzLz8Y3.png

35 km before finish and Bernucci have 3'30 advantage - will he win?

i.imgur.com/r2CuI6e.png

Bernucci won also last mountain sprint and 5 km before finish he had 1 minute advantage. After consulation with sporting director I decided - I won't take part in finish today.

i.imgur.com/aWCqsfv.png

3,5 km before finish Bertolini decided to attack....

Spoiler

i.imgur.com/Wm6EVnk.png

...and after nice sprint fight he won it! Nice win by Serramenti rider! Kittel decided to sprint and he finished today's stage at 15th place.
