Phil Zajicek of team Fly V australia placed 4th in stage 1 of the Tour of the Gila in Silver City, NM. Even though this is the first stage of the event it is always one that can ruin the chances of all but a few top climbers. This premier stage finishes with an 8km Category 1 climb known as the Mogollon.
Sunday, March 14, 2010 at 9:28PM If you are a fan of pro cycling you will recognize the name of Danish pro cyclist Chris Anker Sorensen of team Saxo Bank. Sorensen is well known for being a very valuable teammate of Andy Schleck in the 2009 Tour de France. Schleck finished second in last year’s Grande Tour in large part to the strong work of Sorensen in the mountain stages.
If you were following the TrainingPeaks Blog last July you know how we posted Sorenson’s SRM power data after each day’s stage. If you missed Sorensen’s 2009 Tour de France SRM power data you can see it all here.
In preparation for the 2010 Tour de France, Sorensen’s first big race of the season was the Paris-Nice stage race which just wrapped up Sunday along the southern coast of France. The queen stage which worried most of the riders was Saturday’s 220km stage 6 between Peynier - Tourrettes-sur-Loup, France.
