195. Blel Kadri
196. Andreas Kloeden
197. Jeremy Roy

[Luciano Pagliarini]

Sicuro sia la squadra per il Tour?

A giudicare dai nomi questi li vedrei meglio al torneo di calcio saponato dell'oratorio di Visnadello...

[Tommeke23]

squadra CLAMOROSA, rischiano di essere protagonisti in tutte le tappe cit.

almeno 7 successi parziali (Boonen x3, Hutarovich, Durbridge x2, Voigt or Kadri) non ce li leva nessuno, 3 corridori in top 10 (Kloeden, Brajkovic, Horner) e uno almeno 5°, classifica a squadra vinta con non meno di 10 minuti di margine

[Luciano Pagliarini]

Nelle tappe dure non potranno essere protagonisti se non con fughe da lontano e difficilmente potranno piazzare un uomo nei primi 15 della generale. Poi il treno non è all'altezza di quelli della Lotto o dell'Argos cit.

[Tommeke23]

siamo a not one

ora probabilmente domani perdo la maglia
la terza tappa vi faccio la grazia di giocarvela fra voi e mi riposo per il giorno successivo

in cui vi aro con Boonen e me la riprendo

malissimo per quanto riguarda le vittorie di tappe, senza scherzare me ne aspettavo 3 da Boonen (o 2+1 fuga di Voigt) se ne ha vinte 3 Freire al Giro.........
invece arriva un solo successo di tappa che vale doppio vista la maglia gialla, piazzamenti di Boonen e anche un secondo posto di Voigt
nella generale invece perfetti. Andreas Kloden può riposarsi fino a fine stagione ora, Horner e Brajkovic in top10
classifica a squadre vinta con 24 MINUTI DI VANTAGGIO sui secondi, con 1H 2m 43s di vantaggio sulla Garmin

la squadra senza ombra di dubbio più forte alla partenza

Tom Boonen vince la Coppa del Mondo 2013

[Andie88]

non vale, deve avere partecipazioni in almeno 7 gare di CDM

[Tommeke23]

era 6 ma sticazzi, non ne ho fatte 6 per non umiliarvi

[Tommeke23]

ma anche no

Villella l'anno prossimo rimane all'Etixx

quelli in dubbio lo sono solo perché aspetto di vedere cosa fanno al mondiale per eventuali ulteriori aumenti di valori e/o perché non sono ancora convinto su che valori dargli (tipo Boonen) ma obv rimarranno
l'unico che parte sarà Leukemans, dimmi che offri Andie

[Tommeke23]

ufficializzati i contratti di Boonen Bos Craddock Wynants (15) Van Asbroeck (16) Marangoni Voigt (14) Steegmans Edmondson (11)

detto ciò mi rimangono 53 cr. vado ad aggiornare nelle offerte in corso nel ciclomercato

Horner ancora senza contratto h34r:
Leukemans da accordo bilaterale non rinnova e si accaserà alla Accent

PS: notare Tommeke Van Asbroeck che vale più di Boonen

Tour of Qatar Stage 6: OPQS CONQUERS THE DESERT! Bos 1st and Wins Overall, 6 OPQS in Top 10 GC

Friday 14 February 2014 - 20:21
Omega Pharma - Quick-Step PCCycling Team had plenty to celebrate at the end of Tour of Qatar on Friday. Following a bunch sprint finish win Theo Bos took the top podium spot with Cavendish right behind him in 2nd.

"Finally I made it," Theo Bos said. "I'm very happy about this victory because it was stressful for me. The last few days maybe a little bit less so, but with the wind in the desert it was a bit difficult. I was so happy today when I crossed the line. To me, it's important because it's the first time in my career that I won a short stage race. This is quite a new experience. I learned a lot this week. After team's Stage 1 victory, for the rest I had to follow the guys. They stayed as calm as possible and I really counted on a great team here. Everybody was at a top level and you can see it in the final classifications results with the whole team. The general classification, the jerseys, and even our results each stage. We were really a factor throughout the race. My form is actually good, but not at the top yet. April is still far away and that is where I have to be in top condition to support Tom, who is our leader for the Classics. Concerning the rest of the program, I will go to Oman. It is a bit of a different race, but I will try to take advantage of this condition and pay back my teammates for their performance here by supporting the team there."

OPQS also won the team classification as six riders finished in the top 10 of the overall. Last but not least, Guillaume Van Keirsbulck almost won the White Pearl Jersey for best young rider right behind Marcel Kittel and Theo Bos wins also the points jersey for the best sprinter of the race.

OPQS finished off the job of a successful Tour of Qatar, as the team won two stages out of six with Theo Bos and the team time trial.

Owner Pat McZelk said the performance represented the strength of the whole team.

"Things went perfectly for the team this week," Pat said. "We won two stages as well as the GC and we won almost all the jerseys and the team classification. We were always present no matter the situation. We have a tradition of success at Tour of Qatar. It's a race known for strong winds, and as a Belgian based team, that is when we are in our element. Now we will try to carry the momentum from this race. From tomorrow forward we will work hard to keep this high level. We will try to be competitive also when we come back to Europe with this group."

Congratulations guys!

As a consequence of a crash with about 100km remaining in Vuelta a Catalunya Stage 1 on Monday, Theo Bos left the race this morning, returned to Belgium, and immediately underwent examinations at H.-Hartziekenhuis Roeselare-Menen as decided by team medical staff. Medical checks underlined fractures of the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th ribs of the right hemithorax. A CT Scan also underlined fractures of three, and fissures of six, transverse processes in the dorsal and lumbar areas.

Bos, who is already at home, will have to respect a period of rest for at least two weeks. Bos will resume training after that point depending on the clinical evolution of his injuries.


brutta tegola per il mio team perdere il corridore con più vittorie e uno dei più forti corridori in stagione ma ci consoliamo con la prima e non ultima vittoria di Gianni Meersman con i nostri colori

Scheldeprijs: Boonen 4th in Bunch Sprint

Thursday 10 April 2014 - 17:19
Omega Pharma - Quick-Step PCCycling Team executed the leadout for a bunch sprint at 200km Scheldeprijs on Thursday. With about 2.6km to go the final rider of the original breakaway of the day was caught, and OPQS immediately took control on the front.

Approaching 1.9km to go, OPQS still had five riders on the front, led by Tom Van Asbroeck. In the final kilometer it was left to Gert Steegmans to drop off Tom Boonen in perfect position. Steegmans accomplished his job and Boonen was in great position. However, so was Andre Greipel (Lotto Belisol) directly to their right. He launched early, and Boonen tried his best to catch back to the German rider. But the power of Greipel was too much for everyone in the peloton, and he won the race.

Yevgeni Hutarovich (Cofidis) was 2nd, and Arnaud Demare (FDJ) was 3rd. Tom finished 4th.

Brutto colpo per Chris Horner, l'uomo di punta dell'OmegaPharma per le grandi corse a tappe. L'americano è ricoverato da oggi pomeriggio all'Ospedale Manzoni di Lecco dopo aver avuto un incidente mentre si allenava lungo le strade lecchesi che costeggiano il lago Lario. Il re del Giro del Trentino 2014 ( ), 42 anni, si è infortunato cadendo a terra, probabilmente urtato da un'automobile: la dinamica dell'incidente è ancora da valutare.
Trasportato presso la struttura sanitaria lecchese, dove è stato prontamente raggiunto dal dottor Riepenhof (medico di squadra dell'Omega), Horner è stato sottoposto ai necessari accertamenti che hanno evidenziato uno pneumotorace al polmone destro, la frattura di quattro costole e alcune ferite al capo che hanno richiesto sutura. Una Tac ha escluso commozioni cerebrali. Lo staff sanitario dell'OmegaPharma è in stretto contatto con il personale medico dell'ospedale per seguire l'evolversi delle condizioni di salute del corridore. Il fenomeno statunitense deve dare l'addio al Giro.


brutta tegola per il mio team Wiggins lo sostituira al Tour de Romandie che Horner avrebbe dominato e avrebbe vinto sicuro anche il Giro

PS:
PPS: non era mai stato nei piani di fargli fare il Giro però in effetti al Romandie sarebbe stato fra i favoriti, ma sono buonissimo e non lo faccio correre

[Tommeke23]

Theo Bos è salito a 8 podi in stagione e 2 vittorie (3 considerando la GC del Qatar)... mi facevate pensare che aveva vinto tipo 5-6 volate e invece sono solo 2 contro le 4 ad inizio 2013 e inizio 2014 reali

cioè ha vinto meno anche di quel pipparsugo di Hagen!!

OPQS TOUR DE FRANCE PRESS CONFERENCE
THURSDAY 3 JULY 2014 - 19:05

Omega Pharma - Quick-Step PCCycling Team met with the media on Thursday for a press conference prior to the 101st edition of the Tour de France. The following text are comments made by OPQS riders Theo Bos, Michal Kwiatkowski, Bradley Wiggins and Lieuwe Westra.

Theo Bos

The whole grand depart has been phenomenal. When I came weeks ago to recon the course, the vibe that was around here was phenomenal. It was something I've never seen. The support from people, the people who do or don't know about bike racing, it's been absolutely tremendous. I don't think anyone can really anticipate how big it's going to be this weekend and I'm looking forward to savoring that. But, it's not a given that we will come away with a stage win or the yellow jersey. Things can always go right or wrong at the Tour de France. There's 200 riders on the start line almost, and every one of them would like to win the yellow jersey. It's a big honor. I'd like to win a stage, Omega Pharma – Quick- Step has a strong team, but the Tour de France is 21 days long and it doesn't finish after the third stage or we leave Belgium. We've got an incredibly strong Omega Pharma – Quick-Step team here and we'd like to do well across the three weeks.

On his 2014 training program leading up to the Tour

I feel in good condition for this Tour de France. A lot of guys who were at the Tour de Suisse got sick but hopefully I am over that. I've had four wins this year and the team is close to 30 already. We've been super successful all season, racing across the board, and put a strong team together for the Tour de France that will try and do well over these three weeks.

On his motivation and his competitors

I never won a stage at the Tour de France. It's the biggest bike race in the world and to come here with the successful teams I've been part of has been monumental to my career. Sure I'd like to win as much as possible, as much as I can. One win in a rider's career can be the highlight of their career, not just one win a year. Omega Pharma – Quick-Step came here last year and won one stage. We want to come here and do better than that. We want to be successful and win stages and the general classification. There are strong riders on other teams who also want to do well, but we're all really motivated to try and get good results.

Michal Kwiatkowski

On his objectives

Of course it would be nice to wear the white jersey during the race as I did last year. But honestly, I want to focus on continuing my growth as a rider at a grand tour. This is my second Tour de France. I came here to specifically help Bradley Wiggins and gain experience. That's my goal.

On the atmosphere

I'm really excited before the start. This is my second Tour de France, the biggest grand tour in the world. Starting for OPQS is something special. We were a successful team last year and hope we can be the same this year. We are all really motivated.

Bradley Wiggins

About the strength of OPQS at the Tour de France

In all the years we always had a really good team at the start. We always were successful. This year is the same, so I think the morale is high for being present in all the actions that are possible. We have worked well as a team all year and think we put together a good group for this grand tour.

On the time trial parcours

Honestly I didn't see it yet, I only saw the profile online. It looks quite nice. Hilly, but not too many mountains. It really can suit me.

Lieuwe Westra

On the hopes of the team in 2014 after a win in 2013

Of course I think we can try and have similar success as we did last year. Especially when there is wind, we like to do a lot of attacks. So, if there is opportunity we will try it. But you cannot always plan these chances. If you're in the races and you feel the wind will change direction and it will be good to try something, you have to attack it. It isn't always something you anticipate. If there is a chance you must be there and then go for it.
