Interesting that Bretagne - Seche Environnement didn't seem to figure much today in the last 30K after leading the teams competition and featuring so prominently in the action and at the top of the standings the last few days. Wonder if they heard what Dazed and Confused said about them not burning themselves out in advance of Le Tour.

Currently the most important multi-day race held in Hungary, the Gemenc GP is happening this weekend. The prologue was held this morning, and on the extremely short (1,450 meters) course, the Romanian youngster Grosu won (he recently won the Tour of Estonia).

Stage 1 was held on a slightly hilly, 123 km long course this afternoon. A breakaway made it to the finish and Marko Danilovic soloed to win 30 s ahead his companions. Tomorrow Stage 2 will be held on another hilly course, which will be 92,5 km long.

The 2nd (and final) stage started off with a strong pace, no breakaway was allowed to go. Once the peloton got close to the finishing town of Szekszard, Davide Gabburo and Istvan Molnar slipped off and the duo held on until the finish. The bunch came in 46 s later, the (slightly) uphill finish for 3rd was won by Grosu. The overall was won by Danilovic, who had no problem remaining in the peloton this day. Rudy Lorenzon got 2nd, Marco Maronese 3rd.

The race was a little more exciting than expected as both stages were won by surprise breakaways, despite the fact that both stages were fairly short. Hopefully this race will be held in the future as well, it's really the only multi-day race that draws international interest Hungary has at the moment, and it can be entertaining like this year. There are a lot of amateur events held in relation to this race as well, it does a lot to improve Hungarian cycling, but of course, this effort is too little in and on itself.

Looks like our Iranian friends from Tabriz got some serious competition from the other Iranian outfit, Pishgaman.

5 stages to go. How ridiculous can it get?

Romain, the older of the Feillu brothers (the one who won the Tour of Britain, not the one who won that stage of the Tour) won today's opening stage of the 2.2 rated Ronde de l'Oise today. Despite the fact that he's not finished any of the five Grand Tours he's ridden, you've got to figure his wild card team Bretagne - Séché Environnement is going to look to him for stage wins in the TdF. His brother Brice is going well, too, having just finished second on GC at that Boucles de la Mayenne race some of us were following last week.

Neither of the brothers has been announced as participating in Route du Sud yet, but surely Bretagne - Séché Environnement will send their strongest riders to that race. Their theoretical man for the TdF GC, Eduardo Sepúlveda, will be there, I think.

Anyway, the Ronde de l'Oise continues tomorrow with a 185.4 kilometer stage from Thiverny to Ribecourt-Dreslincourt, and I believe there will be a live ticker on the francophone cycling site DirectVelo.

The women are at the Emakumeen Bira this week (lit. trans. "Women's Race"), which was created as the women's version of the Euskal Bizikleta, but has lasted in its early June timeslot long past the point where the men's race merged with the Itzulia. Of course, the Basque country means lots of secret bonus climbs, inconsistent mountain roads and general relentless difficulties.

Stage 1 began and ended in Iurreta, a village which has been swallowed up by Durango over time, and rather resembled that Vuelta stage from 2011 when Liquigas went nuts on the descent and Sagan outsprinted Lastras.

Yes, that is a stage finishing on the extremely technical descent of the Puerto de Urkiola, which is of course normally climbed, and is the grand cathedral of Basque cycling. And the comparisons with that Vuelta stage are pretty apt, as Rabo-Liv-Giant tore the race apart and took the 1-2-3 thanks to the impressive technical skills of their escapees putting the pressure on on the ascent and then working together on the descent to put time into the rest; stage winner Pauline Ferrand-Prévot is also a world class mountain biker, Anna van der Breggen was a top level junior cyclocross rider, and Marianne Vos is Marianne Vos. It ended up looking like the Mapei Roubaix, with Vos at the back celebrating the success of her teammates. Not sure if here PFP is stealing a win from a celebrating van der Breggen or if Anna is celebrating the team domination the same as Vos though. Pauline's already got into one argument with a teammate recently after Jolanda Neff thought the Frenchwoman tried to put her in the barriers when they sprinted for the win in an MTB World Cup race.

9 Fabiana Luperini (Estado de Mexico-Faren) Ita +1'00
10 Megan Guarnier (Boels-Dolmans) Usa +1'00

Some riders lost a surprising amount of time today; Emma Johansson was over 2 minutes back, Emma Pooley - though descending is her biggest weakness by her own admission - is clearly not as strong as she was 3-4 years ago, losing 2'13; Shara Gillow and Alena Amialyusik were at 2'47.

Daniel Hoelgaard, a young Norwegian riding for the Czech Continental team Etixx, won today's stage of the Ronde de l'Oise. He was part of a six-man group that broke out of the pack 4 kilometers from the finish in Ribécourt-Dreslincourt. Still awaiting word on what this does to the GC, but he was just 13 seconds back after yesterday's opening stage.

It was his brother, Markus Hoelgaard, who was part of the breakaway I think. When they were caught, Daniel won the bunch sprint.

He also won a stage + points jersey in Tour de Bretagne earlier this year, very talented sprinter.

After the domination of stage 1, the Rabo Liv Giant team were kind of hard to pick out today, since you had six riders in six different jerseys:

BqBcyxSIQAAlGpQ.jpg


That's Pauline Ferrand-Prévot in the leader's jersey, Anna van der Breggen in the points jersey (Pauline holds it), Annemiek van Vleuten in the mountains classification jersey, Lucinda Brand in the national champion's kit, Marianne Vos in the world champion's kit and Thalita de Jong in the normal kit.

Marianne Vos (who else?) won stage 2, coming in solo ahead of Lizzie Armitstead and Emma Johansson, so normalcy in the world of women's cycling is restored as Vos takes the lead off of her younger teammate, who was 5th on the day, with Chantal Blaak just ahead of her.

Romain Feillu maintains his lead on GC after stage two of the Ronde de l'Oise over stage two winner Daniel Hoelgaard, on whom he holds three seconds. Feillu came across the line ninth in today's sprint on the same time as the young Norwegian, but Hoelgaard benefited from bonus seconds to better his overall time.

Rabo Liv Giant domination continues in stage 3 of the Emakumeen Bira, a race of continuous up-and-down in northern Bizkaia, from Arrieta to Mungia.

Perfil03.gif


A dangerous move of five got away near the start of the race. New race leader Marianne Vos despatched a couple of helpers to monitor the break, and the group eventually swelled to 18 riders as more key names made the junction. The next report had previous race leader and stage 1 winner Pauline Ferrand-Prévot solo off the front with a chase consisting of 16 riders, but the chase was very disorganised initially enabling the French time trial champion to build up a lead of two minutes. Lizzie Armitstead and Annemiek van Vleuten missed the chase group when the group reorganised behind PFP, and they now drop well down the GC, having been nearly 3 minutes down on the chasers (therefore 5 minutes down on Ferrand-Prévot) 10km from the finish. Vos outsprinted Emma Johansson for 2nd place, having had the chance to sit on all the way through the stage once she'd made her way into the chasing group. The field was apparently shattered by the final descent, which was very technical on a narrow Basque road. Pauline takes the lead of the race back from her teammate with a pretty imposing lead as well.

Tomorrow's final stage will feature three ascents of the Alto de Urkillaga (3,8km @ 7,6%), which will likely be decisive in the stage since the descent leads directly into the finish.

Rabo Liv Giant make it 4/4 and a clean sweep of the podium in the Basque Country, with another stage where they dominate proceedings; in the final stage, beginning and finishing in Ataun, the same trio that made all the proceedings in stage 1 found their way off the front on the final climb, although Emma Johansson interloped in the group this time; the Swede had a puncture at an inopportune time on stage 1, otherwise she could have been the only threat to Rabo's locking out the podium. Vos escaped late to take the victory, while van der Breggen and race leader Ferrand-Prévot followed Johansson home.
