Fenn is indeed very impressive I must say. Very nice to see Pelucchi up there as well. I really hope he'll have a great season this year. I think that him being with Europcar will do him good and he could have a big breakthrough this year.

Fenn did he become so good?

Hi Hugo, hope you feel welcome here.
I am one of the 11 with him in the CQ game, really a great start for him, should lead to more opportunities and more points.

Thanks, I'm sure I will

Good pick in Fenn, he's up for a big year I assume now.

I only have Breschel and Puccio in Trofeo Deia.. Not very good :

Trofeo Deià - Clasificación:
1. Lars Petter Nordhaug (Sky)
2. Rui Costa (Movistar)
3. Sergio Luis Henao (Sky)
4. Jakob Fulsang (RadioShack)
5. Tiago Machado (RadioShack)

Probably scared of Costa

stupid trying not to lose and lost

Apparently there was a kick up to the finish after the final descent, where Nordhaug attacked. So given the time gaps that suggests the RadioShack guys just didn't have the legs.

The group which came in after the breakaway was only 11 riders, so it must have been a tough day.

Omega Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team chose their riders for the final race of Challenge Mallorca: Trofeo Tramuntana.

"Tomorrow for the last test of the Challenge we are lining up three fresh riders at the start like Jerome Pineau, Michal Kwiatkowski and Serge Pauwels who we'll put up next to Kevin De Weert, Dries Devenyns, Tony Martin, Dario Cataldo, Kristof Vandewalle and Peter Velits," said Team Trainer Tom Steels. "The goal is to try to be protagonists again."

Trofeo Tramuntana is a 160.2 km race, and for certain a climber's course. There are two category 3 climbs, two category 2 climbs, and a category 1 climb that includes 935 meters of elevation gain for a handful of kilometers.

I'm really pleased that Lars Petter has finally gotten a win under his belt for Sky. Would love to be able to see some footage of the stage.

there will be full 30 mnute highlights, maybe in about an hour, as soon as i can recode them.

DinZ · « **Reply #45 on:** February 07, 2012, 21:08 »

Well thats cheered me up this morning.

two wins for Sky overnight, and 3rd place for henao.

even 6th for Puccio.

brassyn · « **Reply #46 on:** February 07, 2012, 22:18 »

I should know this myself but are Puccio, Nordhaug and Henao all part of the group specifically assigned to Kurt Asle Arvesen's watch/care? I'm fairly certain Puccio and LPN are. Regardless, it's definitely working well especially in KAA's first year in this capacity.

Not sure but saw on the team sky website Nordaug was crediting the work of Bobby Julich as his personal coach

brassyn · « **Reply #48 on:** February 07, 2012, 22:59 »

That's right enough, Julich looks after Nordhaug and Arvesen looks after Henao, EBH, Lofkvist, Appolonio, Puccio and Sivtsov. I had to hunt down the original article I saw that in just to make sure! http://www.procycling.no/article3295871.ece

timmy · « **Reply #49 on:** February 07, 2012, 23:16 »

sky did well, henao so far looking good in terms of european racing.

Dekker_Tifosi · « **Reply #50 on:** February 07, 2012, 23:24 »

I look forward to Quintana having a free role somewhere. He should be almost as good

Hey Hey Hey !!!

Es wrong, Sir Jamsque, DAOTEC knows! Predicted he did that HENAO dominate!

Colombians, they breakfast on the pequeña mountains of Europe

Jamsque · « **Reply #56 on:** February 08, 2012, 10:44 »

Honestly I wouldn't mind it if Dao showed up because that dude is hilarious. Ryo on the other hand...

Dim · « **Reply #57 on:** February 08, 2012, 11:40 »

stage cancelled. Gutted. Think Henao was really up for it.

With all the teams there, I wonder if they cant just delay it till tomorrow.
