Sonny Colbrelli makes it two stage wins in a row

The Race: Here's the story from stage winner Sonny Colbrelli's Bardiani-CSF team.

Cycling's 50 Triumphs and Tragedies

Sonny Colbrelli and the #GreenTeam were not too tired to win at Tour du Limousin. Thanks to a powerful sprint, the Italian rider claimed today the fourth and final stage of the French race, from Saint-Leonard-de-Noblat to Limonges, 185 km, leaving behind Gavazzi (Androni-Sidermec) and Feillu (HP-BPT).

“It’s a great satisfaction” said Colbrelli. “I want to dedicate this win to the team, to our main sponsors Bardiani and CSF and to Reverberi’s family. It’s not by chance that victories comes, there’s always hard work and a lot of passion. And this is also what they transmit to us”.

Colbrelli finished Tour du Limousin with two stage wins but the victory of the final classification slipped away by only one second (Rosskopf from BMC the winner). “Well, it should be the cherry on top, but I’ve no regrets. We knew it was hard managing the race, taking seconds in intermediate sprints and then the final one. We did our best, there’s nothing to complain”.

Talking about final sprint, Colbrelli is happy going beyond his worries in massive sprint: “I found again confidence and yesterday’s win helped me a lot. Since the beginning of the season I preferred fighting for different arrivals, but today was a very good chance, even if I had to take few risks. There was a lot of chaos in the final kilometers and I was uncertain on which was the favorite. At 500 meters Gavazzi launched a long sprint, I immediately moved on his wheel and then passed - this was the only thing to do”.

Looking to the numbers, the #GreenTeam celebrates its eighth win in 2016 while Colbrelli the third (GP di Lugano and yesterday’s stage) and the 12th in his career.

Sonny Colbrelli

Sonny Colbrelli wins stage 3

The Race: Here's the report from stage winner Sonny Colbrelli's Bardiani-CSF team.

Olympics 50 Craziest Stories

Sonny Colbrelli and Bardiani-CSF haven’t lost their feeling for theTour du Limousin. After last year's exploit - one stage win and final classification - and yesterday’s second place, the leader of #GreenTeam claims stage 3 today, from Le Lonzac to Leginiac, 179 km, leaving behind Herrada (Movistar) and Barbero (Caja Rural).

“I’m really happy for this win and, honestly, also surprised: I didn’t think my form was so good” said Colbrelli. “Last two months were not easy. I suffered a crash during last stage of the Giro, then pneumonia and, at the end, a Tour de Pologne with ups and downs. Before the start of Tour du Limousin I didn’t know what to expect. Today’s win is a pleasing confirmation, but also the starting point. I know my condition can improve and I aim for a great final part of the season, especially in the most important races, like Bretagne Classic, and in Italian events. I want to target new satisfactions and to present the team other successes”.

Commenting on the race, Colbrelli highlighted how hard the finale was: “I had good advantage passing the finish line but, besides the good form, I needed good timing. I kept the head of the race waiting the right moment to sprint. Herrada tried to surprise the peloton, I followed him and then, at 300 meters to go, I attacked. It was a pretty good win and I want to thank my teammates for the amazing job they did closing the gap with the breakaway and supporting me in the final kilometers”.

Tomorrow is the fourth and last stage of Tour du Limuosin - Colbrelli, 5th in GC at 11” from leader Rosskopf (BMC), dreams to again win the final classification: “It won’t be easy, but I want to try. Last year in Limoges I was second. If I play well my chances in intermediate and final sprints, I can do it”.

Last but not least, the recap of the wins - Colbrelli has taken his second success in the season after GP di Lugano and the 11th in career. For Bardiani-CSF the win in 2016 are now total seven.

Roman Maikon

Roman Maikin wins stage 2

The Race: Tinkoff sent me this report.

The second stage of the Tour du Limousin again took the peloton slightly by surprise with a tougher finish than expected, seeing many of the sprinters out of contention, while the punchier finishers came to the fore. Leading the way for Tinkoff was Rafal Majka, again showing good form after a promising opening stage yesterday, taking a top ten on the line.

Cycling's 50 Triumphs and Tragedies

“Since Rio everything is going well for Rafa – he missed the break yesterday but he was up there today and he’s really motivated here,” explained Sport Director Tristan Hoffman from the finish. “We were planning on playing the card of Erik Baška, but the racing got pretty tough in the final 15km and he dropped off the pace, so we switched to Rafa as the finish was difficult, with the final 1200m gradually rising, and he went for it and got a top ten.”

The stage got underway to a steadier start compared to yesterday, with a break of four forming after around 10km of racing, and soon building a lead of over three minutes. Their advantage was well controlled by the GC leader's team, with the gap never breaching four minutes, and at 50km to race, the advantage was just 1’30”.

Falling all the time over the tough, testing parcours with its constant ups and downs, twists and turns, the break was finally brought back into the fold with just over 20km to go. From here most eyes were set on a fast bunch finish, despite a few ambitious late attacks in the final. After Erik dropped off the pace, the team focused its efforts on getting Rafal into the best position ahead of the finish and from there he did a good ride to sprint to sixth place.

“Tomorrow there’s a small climb in the final kilometres and this will suit Rafa more than today so hopefully he can again try something here,” Hoffman continued. “It’s really hard racing here – small roads, left and right all the time, with lots of altitude gain. It’s tough but the young guys did a good job today looking after the others and we’re ready to fight again tomorrow.”

After two stages that were, on paper, the most favoured to a sprint finish, Stage 3 will be a real test for the puncheurs. An early climb takes the riders to over 830m altitude before the parcours rolls up and down all day going into the final climb of the Côte de Roche le Peyroux in the last 10km which could be the launch pad for late attacks ahead of the finish.

Tuesday, August 16: Stage 1, Limoges - Oradour sur Glane, 165.4 km

Jpey Rosskopf

Joey Rosskopf wins stage 1

The Race: Here's the report from stage winner Joey Rosskopf's BMC team.

Melanoma: It Started with a Freckle

16 August 2016, Oradour-sur-Glane (FRA): It was the perfect opening to Tour du Limousin for BMC Racing Team as Joey Rosskopf took the win, and claimed the first leader's jersey of the race, following a fast and furious finale to Stage 1. 

As soon as the race hit kilometer zero attacks started to fly off the front of the peloton, including on from TJ Eisenhart, but they were all swiftly pulled back by the peloton. After around 40 kilometers out on the road, Rosskopf made a strong move to distance himself from the peloton and was able to successfully breakaway with two other riders.

The group grew in size as they race reached the halfway point with 13 riders working together for most of the day to hold a maximum lead of 2 minutes 30 seconds. Despite the peloton setting a storming pace behind them, six remaining breakaway riders were able to stay in front and go all the way to the line with Rosskopf eventually proving the strongest on the day.

Winner's Interview with Joey Rosskopf:

Congratulations, Joey! How did you feel when your crossed the finish line today?

"I felt awesome, in fact I couldn't quite believe it right away but I'm super happy! There hasn't been many races in the last year or two where I have been involved in a sprint or in a breakaway that made it to the line so I felt a little rusty. It definitely helped that we saw the line before the actual finish so I knew what to expect as I was really able to give it my all in the sprint."

When you made the successful breakaway move, did you think that the stage win was possible?

"I definitely didn't know that I would be the strongest rider in the breakaway today. I came into the race a little unsure how I had recovered from Utah. At the beginning of the race it was super aggressive and we knew we needed someone in the break because it was going to be hard to control this course. For the first half of the race in the break I was definitely in survival mode. Then as we settled into it more everything started to click again and my body got warmed up and I was feeling a lot more confident in the last 50 kilometers."

And looking ahead to the rest of the race?

"I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the race and I'm hoping it it is good stage for us tomorrow. Hopefully the guys aren't too mad at me for making them ride at the front and defend the jersey tomorrow but we are definitely a strong team and motivation is high. It will be hard to defend the jersey as I think the time bonuses will be important for winning the race overall but we will give it our all and will see what happens.

"I think this stage win feels really rewarding for us as a team, especially as a lot of us came here from Utah where everyone was riding really well but we weren't able to get the stage win so it's a little like redemption."

Sports Director, Jackson Stewart said: "We knew that the race was going to be wide open on the first day and aggressive with a lot of local teams here. On paper, it looked like it was going to be a sprint finish but we knew we wanted to be in there if a big break went away."

"We started really aggressive with [TJ]  Eisenhart launching an attack as well as a few others and finally Joey was able to get away with a small group which then increased to 13 riders with [Manuel] Senni in there at one point too. Everyone in the break worked hard together and they eventually made it which was really cool to see and I'm super happy for Joey.

"We came into this race without a clear leader and after missing out on stage wins recently, especially with the riders here from Utah, this win is definitely a great way to represent the effort that we have all been putting in."
