Stijn Vandenbergh wins Valenciana stage 5

The race: Today's stage was shortened by about twenty kilometers.

Here a stage summary from winner Stijn Vandenbergh's Etixx-Quick step team:

A gutsy attack and an all-in effort brought the Belgian his first victory in almost 9 years. With 12 kilometers left of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana's final stage, just as the peloton got accustomed to the urban circuit in Valencia, Stijn Vandenbergh decided to make his move and leave the pack, together with Mirco Maestri (Bardiani). Not many would have credited them with a real chance of giving the sprinters the slip, but in no time the gap between them and the chasers hit the 30-second mark, and that made Stijn believe he can go all the way.

As soon as he crossed the line at the end of the 3rd (out of 6) lap of the day, the Etixx – Quick-Step rider accelerated from his breakaway companion and went solo, still having half a minute in hand. But the real action of the day was just starting, as a plastic bag got stuck in the back wheel of Stijn Vandenbergh's bike and his advantage began to drop. Despite this, he didn't give up and put in a monumental effort, which helped him enter on the final lap with a gap that hovered between 15 and 25 seconds over the peloton led by Cofidis.

A man of all seasons, the 31-year-old rode hard in those endless final two kilometers, managed to hold the bunch for just one second and crossed the line victorious, upsetting the sprinters and notching the team's 8th win of 2016, and the 5th this week, one which proved to be a great one for Etixx – Quick-Step, in both the Dubai Tour and Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.

Saturday, February 6: Stage 4, Orihuela - Xorret de Cati, 141.3 km

Wout Poels goes clear to win stage 4

The race: here's Team Sky's report on the stage.

The race's penultimate stage came down to the tough Xorret de Cati climb and Wout Poels quickly found himself in an elite group of favourites. Yet with three kilometres to go the Dutchman unleashed a stinging acceleration and burst clear, taking the win by 23 seconds and taking a large step closer to overall victory.

Benat Intxausti made it a double delight for Team Sky by edging second place at the line, making it a 1-2 as he saw off Jon Izagirre (Movistar) 23 seconds later.

The result means Poels heads into the final day of the race with the yellow jersey and a lead of 46 seconds over Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana). A strong finish also moves Intxausti up to third place overall, a further 10 seconds back on his Team Sky stage race debut.

Leopold Konig makes it three Team Sky riders in the top 10, sitting 10th overall, 1:50 back. Poels' ride also saw him ride back into the points and mountains jerseys, with Team Sky opening up a 59-second lead in the team GC.

After the race Poels told TeamSky.com: "It was really really cool to be riding like that as a team. We controlled the day perfectly and the way the guys rode for me on the final climb was really amazing. To be able to ride like this with the guys was a pleasure. "I felt really strong again. On the last climb everything went perfectly. It was a really steep one so you had to control yourself. David was pulling for me and then Mikel took it over. Then I was with the two Astana boys and they started pacing fast. I was just waiting for the last bit to attack and it worked out perfect."

Now with a handy advantage and one final stage to go Poels knows the situation looks good - but the job is not yet finished. "It looks good but I still need to ride tomorrow and cross that finish line," he added. "For sure we're going to go for it. We're close now and it's really cool."

Throughout the 141.3km test Poels had support from his team-mates, with Nicolas Roche and Alex Peters again working hard to keep the day's seven-man break in sight. As the climbs arrived Vasil Kiryienka and then David Lopez set the pace, with Poels glued to their wheels, before Mikel Nieve took it up.

Under intense pressure from Astana Poels found himself battling Diego Rosa and Fabio Aru on the climb - but the Dutchman found new reserves to leave both of them standing to take a magnificent victory.

Friday, February 5: Stage 3, Sagunto - Alzira, 173.5 km

Dylan Groenewegen (yellow/black kit) edges out Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis)

The Race: Young Dylan Groenewegen (23 years old) gave his LottoNL-Jumbo team its first victory this year.

A small group escaped on this mostly flat stage but the escapees were rounded up with about ten kilometers to go.

That set things up for a big sprint. LottoNL-Jumbo dropped off Groenewegen at the front for the rush to the line where he took a narrow win.

Wouter Poels of Sky remains the GC leader.

Complete results:

173.5 km raced at an average speed of 42.629 km/hr

Thursday, February 4: Stage 2, Castellon - Fredes, 163.3 km

Dan Martin wins stage 2

The Race: Here's the Etixx-Quick Step take on the day's racing.

A fierce acceleration saw 29-year-old Irish rider Dan Martin get the win at the top of Alto de Fredes, in stage 2 of Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.

Almost one year and a half since his last victory, which came in stage 4 of the 2014 Tour of Beijing, Dan Martin found again the road to success, this time at the 67th edition of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, where he conquered the European season's first mountain top finish, Alto de Fredes (17 km, 4.5% average gradient, 12% maximum gradient). The two-time Monument winner took advantage of his powerful explosion and left everyone behind before soloing to the finish line, where he scored his maiden victory in the Etixx – Quick-Step jersey, a result which helped him move up in the overall standings.

The day began with a five-man break that was in the spotlight for almost 150 kilometers, before the peloton came back together on the final climb. There, Imanol Estevez (Euskadi) and Sonny Colbrelli (Bardiani) tried to get clear, but didn't manage to build a considerable gap and were caught by the Sky-led pack. Immediately, Jose Herrada (Movistar) attacked and stayed at the front until the final 800 meters of the first-category ascent. As soon as the Spaniard was absorbed by the chasers, Dan Martin made his move, one which proved to be too strong for the others to react, and won with a 2-second advantage over Jesus Herrada (Movistar) and Wout Poels (Sky).

"As soon as I joined Etixx – Quick-Step, the welcome was incredible. Also, the atmosphere is really good for my confidence. Even from the start of today's stage I really believed I had a chance to win. I had the legs, I managed to score this victory and have that perfect start to the season. With 3 kilometers to go, there was a flat section which was really fast. Many riders used it to come at the front, and at one moment I was bad positioned. Then I moved up, Navarro attacked and when I looked up and saw we are entering the last kilometer, I decided to give it a go", said Dan Martin. "I sprinted three times, and in the last 250 meters, which were in a downhill, I already knew I had won. The victory came also as a result of the excellent job of my team, with the guys being fantastic throughout the day."

This was Etixx – Quick-Step's fifth victory of the season, and the second in as many days, following the one of Marcel Kittel in stage 1 of the Dubai Tour. The series started in the Tour de San Luis, with the team time trial and Fernando Gaviria's first pro success, and continued in Europe at the Challenge Mallorca, where Gianluca Brambilla got his hands on Trofeo Pollença-Port de Andratx after a valiant effort: "When you see your teammates winning, you begin thinking it's possible also for you to do it."

"Everybody wants to land victories all the time, regardless of the race, and to get them gives you a lot of confidence", concluded a thrilled Dan Martin after the stage, before climbing on the podium, were he received the trophy for the stage win, as well as the polka dot jersey, for leading the KOM classification.

The stage to Alto de Fredes was a rewarding one also for another Etixx – Quick-Step rider, Bob Jungels: the Luxembourg champion, who was in the top 10 in yesterday's individual time trial, finished only two seconds behind his teammate and climbed to 5th in the overall standings, with three stages to go.

Wednesday, February 3: Stage 1, Benicassim - Oropesa del Mar 16.25 km individual time trial

Wouter Poels delivering the goods

The Race: Here's the way Team Sky told the tale:

Wout Poels stormed to an incredible time trial victory and the race lead after the opening stage of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana. The Dutchman was one of the first riders into the hilly 16.25-kilometre course and his benchmark time of 22 minutes and 34 seconds held up magnificently during the afternoon.

Winning by a margin of 14 seconds over Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana), Poels inherited the early lead and accompanying yellow jersey in the revamped Valencia stage race.

Team-mate and world time trial champion Vasil Kiryienka made it an even more impressive day for Team Sky with the third fastest time, 20 seconds back after negotiating the course and its third category climb. Fastest over the summit, Poels collected the early lead in the mountains classification, as well as the points and combined standings.

Poels endured a nervous wait in Oropesa del Mar and saw rival Jon Izagirre (Movistar) crash on an overpass early into his run. Leopold Konig rebounded from a crash while warming up to make it three Team Sky men in the top 10 with eighth spot, 28 seconds back to ensure there are plenty of cards to play heading further into the race. Benat Intxausti began his first race for Team Sky with a strong 13th place.

Back at the team hotel Poels told TeamSky.com: "I knew I had good form coming into the race and I was hoping to do a good TT here, but to win is always something completely different. I started really early so I didn't know how it would go.

"Kiry is a team-mate but it is also cool to beat the world champion (laughs)! We trained a lot this winter as a team on the TT bikes and it's already paid off for me. I had a really good pace on the flat, the corners went good and there was a really tricky downhill - but I had everything under control so I'm really happy with how it went.

"I feel really good. I've come here to do a good GC. It's really nice to start out like this and I hope we can defend the jersey for another four days."
After stepping off the podium after claiming the day one team prize, Sport

Director Dario Cioni was understandably proud of the performances in Spain. "Wout put in a super ride," he said. "But if you look at it the whole team put in a great performance across the board with four riders in the top 15. Wout has been doing some really good training over the winter so we expected him to be going well in this race, and part of that was to do a good time trial. Okay maybe no one expected that he could come away with the win - but he's been working hard on the TT bike, getting used to it and clearly performing better. The two climbs were good for his riding style, but to be fair to Wout he was also really strong on the flat, and very quick on the descents. So he put out a good performance across the entire course.

"Leo had a crash in the warm-up when he was on the course. He was actually okay in the race but for sure it made a difference in his time. He did well to finish eighth."

Complete Results: 16.6 kilometers raced at an average speed of 44.136 km/hr
