Another injury for Cummings
Steve Cummings has suffered his third injury of the season in a crash near the end of stage two of the Tour of California. Cummings has missed much of the season so far after breaking his pelvis in the Volta ao Algarve in February, and then fracturing his wrist in the Vuelta al Pais Vasco in April. Cummings injured the same wrist in the California crash and will have x-rays to determine if it is fractured again.

Wiggins wins time-trial to secure Romandie title
Bradley Wiggins has won the hilly final time-trial of the Tour de Romandie to take the overall win. Wiggins started the stage in second place, nine seconds behind Luis Leon Sanchez. However the Spaniard would not be a factor in the battle for the general classification win. The strongest challenge came from young American Andrew Talansky, who set the time to beat in Crans-Montana. Wiggins suffered a slight mechanical problem when his chain came off but remained calm and was able to beat Talansky on the stage by less than a second.
The stage win gave Wiggins the overall victory by 16 seconds. It is his second World Tour ranked stage race vicory of the year following on from Paris-Nice in March, and his third in total as he also won the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré last year.

Blain wins Rutland-Melton Classic
Franchman Alexandre Blain of Endura Racing won the Rutland-Melton International CiCLE Classic today to continue his team's strong start to the season. The race was run in very wet conditions with the route having to be changed to avoid flooding and very few riders finishing. A leading group of 12 riders were able to escape and Blain made many attempts to breakaway. Eventually he got away and quickly built up a commanding lead which enabled him to take the win by almost two minutes. Behind the chase had broken up into small groups and Canadian Jamie Sparling took second place ahead of the leading British rider, James McCallum.

A day of many seconds for Russell Downing
Russell Downing has finished second overall in the Circuit des Ardennes after two second places on the final day of the race. The first stage of the day was a 25km long team time trial won by the Itera-Katusha team. Endura Racing finished in second place 19 seconds back. The result moved Downing into second place overall behind Marek Rutkiewicz of CCC Polsat who had been part of the winning break on the previous stage.
The second stage of the day was won by Stephane Rossetto, the sole survivor from a breakaway group. Behind Rossetto the race was split into pieces with both Downing and Rutkiewicz making it into the first chase group. Downing won the sprint for second place and took four bonus seconds but it was not enough to prevent Rutkiewicz from taking the overall victory.

Paris - Nice stage 2
Bradley Wiggins has taken over the lead of Paris - Nice after the race was broken into pieces on the road to Orléans. Several echelons formed due to the strong crosswinds and although the peloton reformed a strong lead group had built up a two minute lead that they would keep to the finish. Sky duo Bradley Wiggins and Geraint Thomas were in the group along with a quartet from Omega Pharma-Quick Step including Levi Leipheimer. Other overall contenders to make the group of 21 were Alejandro Valverde, Tejay Van Garderen, Simon Spilak and Robert Kiserlovski. It now looks unlikey that anyone else will challenge with the peloton having lost 2'29" by the finish.
Tom Boonen won the sprint from the group ahead of JJ Rojas and John Degenkolb.

1. Tom Boonen - Omega Pharma-Quick Step

Paris - Nice stage 1
Bradley Wiggins came within a second of winning the opening of Paris - Nice, a 9.4km individual time trial from Dampierre-en-Yvelines to Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse. Gustav Larsson set the leading mark early before the expected rain arrived. Wiggins set off third last and had to take care around the corners in the wet and slippery conditions. Despite this he came very close to setting the best time, suggesting that in better conditions he could have won comfortably.

Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne
Mark Cavendish has won Kuurne - Brussel - Kuurne today, the first British victory in this long running race on the first weekend of the Belgian season. The race always seemed likely to come down to a sprint finish and the Sky team came to the front of the peloton to sweep up the breakaway with 5km to go. From then on Sky kept control despite challenges from Lotto-Belisol and FDJ to setup Cavendish perfectly for the sprint. The Manx rider got the jump on his rivals and won comfortably despite a late challenge from Yauheni Hutarovich.

1. Mark Cavendish - Sky

Tiernan-Locke wins again!
Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has won the final stage of the Tour du Haut-Var and with it taken the general classification victory. The result follows hard on the heels of his Tour Méditerranéen win last week.
Tiernan-Locke attacked at the start of the penultimate causing a small lead group to form but was not able to make a decisive break. A slight descent before the final climb up into the village of Fayence allowed a group of four riders to get away including Julien El Fares and Julien Simon. They were unable to build a large advantage and as the climb began Tiernan-Locke was once again the first to attack. He quickly caught the breakaway and was able to take what looked like a comfortable win.
The stage victory was also enough to give Tiernan-Locke his second overall race win both of the year and of his whole career.

Stage and overall win for Tiernan-Locke
Jonathan Tiernan-Locke has won the final stage of the Tour Méditerranéen and with it the overall title. Tiernan-Locke broke clear of the peloton on the climb of the Col du Corps de Garde to take the victory in style.
The Col de Garde was being used as a replacement for Mont Faron which was unrideable due to snow. However this change in finishing climb did not deter Tiernan-Locke from his plan to attack, which he carried out to perfection managing convincingly pull away from the field where his closest competition came from noted mountain climbers Dani Navarro and Stefano Garzelli.
Tiernan-Locke will now be full of confidence heading to the Tour du Haut Var, another stage race which should suit his characteristics.
