Tour de Wallonie, Stage 3: Kristoff Third
Alexander Kristoff finished third for the BMC Racing Team Monday at the Tour de Wallonie, but teammate Greg Van Avermaet lost the overall lead by one second after being edged out in an intermediate sprint.
Team On The Front All Day
The entirety of the BMC Racing Team rode the front to chase down a three-man breakaway that led by five minutes at one point during the 224-kilometer stage. After making the catch with 17 km to go, less than a kilometer later, Van Avermaet was pipped at the final intermediate sprint of the day by Joost Van Leijen (Vacansoleil), who became the new race leader. "It was really close," Van Avermaet said. "We'll try to get the lead back in the next couple of days. The team is riding really well." Daniele Bennati (Leopard Trek) won the stage ahead of Danilo Napolitano (Acqua e Sapone) and Kristoff. "I was alone at the end," Kristoff said, "so I had to take a little bit too much wind to get the victory. But my legs are there and I was able to get in position at the end, so I'm happy to be back on track."

The BMC Racing Team worked hard Sunday to keep Cadel Evans safely positioned on a windy, fast stage at the Tour de France.
After an absence of a year to make way for the 2010 UCI Road World Championships in Geelong, the Jayco Herald Sun Tour is back! A great course and an increase to eighteen teams lay the foundation for a great race in 2011. 
On the strength of second place in the team time trial, the BMC Racing Team moved Cadel Evans within one second of the overall lead Sunday at the Tour de France..gif)

The Value of SRM.jpg)
An SRM power meter on each BMC is a key component in each riders' daily training, said BMC Racing Team Performance Advisor Scott Nydam. "We're relying on these lactate threshold tests to indicate their breaking points, as far as lactate production and the power they can sustain in training. Once they start racing, we'll be able to use the SRM power files from the races with equal or even more data.".gif)
A crash on the final lap cruelled the chances of some but Goss, 24, surged clear to sprint home ahead of team mate Mark Renshaw to give HTC High-Road the quinella.
With Goss' team mate Cavendish one of the favourites to take overall honours for this week's Santos Tour Down Under , Goss was looking forward to the week ahead.
