Superbe présentation

Pas de Vinther sur le GP des Côtes Etrusques...

Je me retrouve sans personne du coup sur cette course

Victoire de Daryl Impey sur le clm des championnats d'Afrique du Sud ce matin.

Il est rejoint sur le podium par Reinardt Janse Van Rensburg, médaille d'argent

Kiel Reijnen sera sur le Langkawi cette année.

Mais comme il y aura Ken Hanson, il ne devrait même pas me rapporter de points au sprint à priori...

SA Championships
February 9, 2015

A 4th ITT title secured and 2nd place in the Road Race

On the 5th February 2015 was the start of my national championships campaign. Having seen the course a few days prior to the event , I was really chuffed to see that it was a honest TT course. It had everything in it; the fast bits, the technical section and a few short climbs thrown in the mix. I started out really well and got a nice gap already on my competition and that set me up for the rest of the 42km course .



 
I had heard on lap 3 that I had a gap of 1min 30sec and that built my confidence up even more and I knew all I had to do at that point was maintain my composure and keep my rhythm going . It is strange , sometimes on the TT bike you feel as if you fighting your way to the end but this day I had exceptional legs and it seemed as if everything went right for me and I finished feeling empty but also great knowing I had won the national TT champs again for a 4th time.
 
The road race was 2 days after and being the favourite again after the TT I knew I would have a lot of riders riding against me. While I had no team mates as only South African riders are allowed to take part , I had to rely on a bit of luck for things to pan out how I would have liked. Anyway, seems most teams except for MTN , Abantu and BMC westvaal were out to sit and wait for me to do all the work . I have no idea why some teams even came to the start , having no one in the break and not even chasing or racing behind made me shake my head a few times , actually I felt sorry for their riders who were also wondering why their management hadn't allowed them to chase . At the end of the day we had a worthy winner, Jacques Janse van Rensburg , he deserved winning after a long breakaway  and it's good to see him take the jersey to Europe. Of course I was disappointed coming in 2nd (roughly 2min down) but I always knew it would be a lottery and that I would be marked out the race , but having said that I was happy how I felt and moving forward it is a good sign .
 
Now that the champs are over, it's time for one last training camp in South Africa and then onto Europe where my first big race will be Paris -Nice .
 
A massive thanks to Bosseau Boshoff for helping me out at nationals and Naeem from Valencia cycles as well as my family and friends who came to support .
 
It has been a great start to the year so far and I hope to gain more momentum as the year moves on.

Daryl Impey fera donc l'impasse sur son traditionnel Tour d'Oman pour reprendre à Paris-Nice.

Terpstra: This is a big surprise
"The victory is a bit of a surprise," Terpstra said. "I was just going for a good time trial to move up in the classification. But it went so well I ended up with the stage win as well."

Etixx - Quick-Step rider Niki Terpstra, 2014 winner of Tour of Qatar, put himself back in the Gold jersey following the 2015 10.9km Stage 3 ITT in Lusail on Tuesday.
 
The Dutch rider finished 8" faster than 2nd place Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory Racing), and 12" faster than Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky) in 3rd place.
 
Terpstra went into the 3rd Stage just 8" down in the GC, so the time difference of his victory moved him into the overall lead by 11" over Maciej Bodnar (Tinkoff-Saxo).
 
Etixx - Quick-Step has now won 8 races (7 road) in 2015.
 
Tom Boonen also is back in the Silver jersey as points leader (21 pts) following the stage. Guillaume Van Keirsbulck, the Best Young Rider in 2014, finished 7th in the ITT (+20"). Etixx - Quick-Step is currently leading the Team Classification as well.
 
Etixx - Quick-Step looks next to 165.5km Stage 4, from Al Thakira to Mesaieed, on Wednesday.
 
"The victory is a bit of a surprise," Terpstra said. "I was just going for a good time trial to move up in the classification. But it went so well I ended up with the stage win as well.
 
"At the beginning I wasn't going full gas to save some energy for when I turned into the headwind. Then my Sport Director Wilfried Peeters was pushing me faster and faster until I was giving everything. I kept the speed until the finish line and I am now back in the Gold jersey as race leader.
 
"If you see the guys that are riding here, it is a really strong peloton with some time trial specialists such as Cancellara and Bradley Wiggins. So, it's awesome to get a victory with such big competition.
 
"Now the goal is to keep the Gold jersey. First, I'm going to enjoy this win this evening with my teammates, and then we will plan for the next days. I have to pay attention all the time because with this race, if you lose focus for even a second and miss a move in the wind, and you are in the second group, your leadership is over.
 
"I had a good winter, the shape is good, and I am really happy with this result. I hope I can still improve in the months leading into the Classics, but I showed today I am going in the right direction."

DEBESAY REVE ENCORE PLUS GRAND

Tour d'Oman
le 17 févr. 2015 - Tour d'Oman, Etape 1, Bayt al Naman Castle - Al Wutayyah (161 km)

La première étape du Tour d'Oman s'est achevée par le sprint victorieux de l'Italien Andrea Guardini (Astana). Arnaud Démare a pris la dixième place, mais son équipe, Martial Gayant notamment, sent que la victoire est proche.
"J'ai l'impression que la bataille du Tour du Qatar est encore dans les organismes, dit Martial, et les équipes n'ont pas encore envie d'en jouer. Il y a eu quatre échappés qui ont finis par ne pas s'entendre, Katusha a fait le boulot mais jusqu'à 6 kilomètres de l'arrivée, il n'y a pas eu de course.
Notre train était prêt mais à une telle vitesse, tout doit se passer sans problème. Un de mes coureurs n'était pas bien aujourd'hui et n'a pas pu tenir vraiment son rôle. A 400 mètres de la ligne, Arnaud Démare était en vingtième position, il a remonté dix coureurs. Il ne perd pas son calme, il sait que ses équipiers sont très bons dans ce registre et l'apport, ici, de Sébastien Chavanel qui sent très bien la course, doit nous permettre de très rapidement lever les bras."
Au cours de cette étape il a fait très chaud, près de 40°C au thermomètre, mais Thibaut Pinot, en provenance de ses Vosges Saônoises enneigées, n'a pas semblé en souffrir.
Mercredi la deuxième étape proposera un relief différent avec une côte assez raide située dans le final et suivie d’une descente vertigineuse avant trois derniers kilomètres qui seront très rapides.

Thomas Boudat revient aux affaires la semaine prochaine

Il sera sur le Samyn avec Morgan Lamoisson, mais egalement avec Bryan Coquard...

En revanche, sur les 3 jours de la Flandre Occidentale, çe sera le seul sprinteur

Nous enregistrons l'arrivée du puncheur italien Fabio Taborre qui est plutôt en retrait ces deux dernières saisons mais dont nous attendons une présence sur les courses italiennes

Pour le moment, Daryl Impey est très régulier.

Il a scoré à chacune de ses sorties

Sander Armée reprendra au Tour de Catalogne
