Race report from DS Johnny Weltz
Again a blazing fast start. We had Christophe Laurent in all the moves that went the first 40 km. But the day’s breakaway didn’t go until right after Tom Peterson was taken down in a crash with three other riders. (Tom is fine and finished the stage.)
There were no […]

Report from DS Matt White
Well the team was super today! The finish was a real team effort. The plan was to put Julian (above) into position on a very tight and technical finish circuit and the boys did it! Julian delivered a great 5th place.
After a nasty crash on the second stage, Julian […]

The stage started out at a crazy, fast tempo. As there were only a few seconds difference between the top ten, and with bonus seconds, everybody had plans to cover every little second. So, the first two hours were flat out and nobody could get away!

Race report from Johnny Weltz
With the first 100 km slightly downhill and a lot of riders with big time losses yesterday, it was a fast start with everyone trying to make the breakaway. A five-man break went pretty late with one rider - Flecha - high on GC. Their gap on the peloton came […]

Tomorrow’s stage 13 is the last […]

Race report from DS Johnny Weltz
Today was by far the hardest stage of this Tour of Catalunya. It started out really fast with a five-man break going from the gun. With a couple of favorites in the break, the peloton was forced to maintain a high speed in order to keep the group at a […]

The Argyle Armada rode a safe, smart race in what turned out to be a crashed-filled, rainy, hilly, hard stage. Though David Millar attempted another fine escape (above), he was soon reeled in by the hard charging peloton. Christian Vande Velde, David Millar and Ryder Hesjedal all finished in the first main group that […]

Race report from DS Johnny Weltz
Since Thor had the chance to stay in the leader’s jersey for another day, and with only a few other sprinters in the race, the race stayed pretty controlled for the whole day. There was one long breakaway that had a very small chance of surviving. Though they took the […]
