Tour Down Under 2016 14h

Post by team fl » Mon Jan 18, 2016 11:07 am

First World Tour Event 2016! A must for Team FL. Therefore, the Liechtenstein cycling team will attend with the following riders (most likely):

x1 Hassan Dif
x2 Perry Henzell
x3 Carlos Lampe
x4 Ignatz Lichtenstein
x5 Otto Ospelt
x6 Elwyn Oxley
x7 Robertlandy Simon
x8 Carlos Tejeda
x9 Barton Zwiebach

Substitutes may be Tasher or Breytenbach for Zwiebach.

Last year, Paul Betancourt won the Tour Down Under. A title defence will be difficult though, mainly because Paul has already retidert and because the team is not as strong as last year. Anyway, I hope more teams will be attending that at the Tour des Pavés. Which should not be very difficult... So, no worries, mate!

First stage ended with a bunch sprint as expected, lead by No More Idols and Team FL who caught the early group quite, well, early. Also kernabateam blocked during the last km after Tulpengeneral launched another attack. Finally, it was Viletinck from No Mor Idols who could defend a very short gap against Henzell and win the stage 1. Mountain jersey will be worn by Dias (Lubazim team) tomorrow.

Semper Fidelis here without any Goals and leaders.

having some fun in Australia and having some nice small talk are the main reasons to start here.

earning some Money for buying helpers here and lets see if there is a chance to win a stage.

Tulpen favo as always ;)

Another exciting stage ended with an unexpected winner: Schoissengeier had the right instinct and was the only who followed Callens attack at the last km and then outsprinted him on the final meters. Behind them, it was Rui Costaaa who could gain some seconds against the peloton with the other GC guys. So at the moment it's SChoissengeier in yellow, 4 secs in front of Callens who then again is 4 secs in front of Costaaa. The rest of the bulk is at 15 seconds. The stage itself begun with another Lubazim attack for red with Dias and a helper together with the flower Vit Turtenwald. After a while, Team FL reacted and sent two rider in front itself, Otto Ospelt and Carlos Tejeda. Obviously, Liquigas-CND didn't like that and controlled the gap until others took over. Eventually, it was No More Idols who did the most work for his stage chances. The rest is history.
