Jan Bakelants wins the final stage
The Race: Only 57 riders finished today's stage, a criterium-like stage run in the the Italian town of Bordighera.
Seven riders escaped in the day's first lap. The last of the fugitives to be rounded up was Frenchman Alexandre Geniez. In the day's third lap Jan Bakelants escaped, a move which allowed him a solo win, two seconds ahead of Arnold Jeannesson.
Race leader Andriy Grivko started the day with an eighteen-second lead, a gap he was able to preserve with his eleventh-place finish in the stage, making him the final winner of the 2016 edition of La Méditerranéenne.
His Astana team posted these remarks: “I’m very happy for this victory and I want to dedicate it to my family and my teammates” said an enthusiastic Andrei Grivko after the finish of the fourth stage of La Méditerranéenne in Bordighera (Italy).
“Today everything has gone as expected from us and my team did an amazing job controlling the race from the start till the final km and leading the bunch along all the race route” explained the Ukranian of the Astana Pro Team.
“I stayed at the front of the bunch for the entire day and, even on the final sprint, I controlled the situation, finishing eleventh. This double victory (yestarday stage and the final classification) is a very great motivation to start the season in the best way. Tonight I’ll fly to Tour of Oman and I’m so happy about my condition” concluded Grivko.

Saturday, February 13: Stage 3, Cadolive - Pegomas, 180.5 km
Andriy Grivko wins the stage and takes the overall lead
The Race: Astana's Andriy Grivko took the lead with a gutsy move. He went clear on a downhill stretch close to the finish and then kept his gap as he ascended to the finish.
After the race he said, “It has been a very tough stage, with the first 80 km with the rain and the race speed so high. The Astana Pro Team did a perfect work in supporting me and I have to thank all my teammates one by one.”
“In the final I accelerated in the downhill and then I attacked strongly in the subsequent climb. It was the perfect move and I was able to cross the finish line with arms in the air!”
“I’m so happy for this win because this is an important race even for me and for the Astana Pro Team. Now let’s concentrate on tomorrow final stage in Bordighera.”

Friday, February 12: Stage 2, Banyuls Sur Mer - Port Vendres, 157.6 km
Arnaud Demare and Mickael Delage make it an FDJ 1-2 for the day.
The Race: Though they let a couple of riders romp off the front for a while, the sprinters' team wanted this one.
Yannick Mayer and Luca Sterbini took off looking for glory, but they were not allowed to get more than a five-minute gap. During the stage's closing kilometers the pair were hoovered up, setting things of for a big rush to the line.
FDJ is having a great Med Tour. They handled the stage two sprint perfectly. Team members Arnaud Demare and Mickael Delage came in first and second. Nice job.
Since FDJ won the opening time trial, Demare is first in the GC, followed by his teammates Delage and Matthieu Ladagnous.

Racing along the French Coast
There a lots worse places and ways to spend a day.
Androni Giocattoli's team car
The peloton gets wide...
Arnaud Demare wins the stage. Mickael Delage is second, and in yellow, in fourth place, is Matthieu Ladagnous.
Arnaud Demare will start tomorrow's stage in yellow.
Thursday, February 11: Stage 1, Banyoles (Catalonia) 5.5 km team time trial.
FDJ turned in the day's winning ride
The Race: FDJ won the first stage of the revived La Méditerranéen. The race wasn't run last year, but has come back in a slightly shortened version in 2016, with the first stage being run in Catalonia, Spain.
Astana finished with the same time as FDJ, but was actually 540 thousandths of a second slower. Surprisingly, this was FDJ's first-ever team trial victory.
The weather did not cooperate, with rain and wet roads greeting the riders. This is never good for racers following each other so close as to be almost touching, on dicey-handling time trial bikes.
Since Matthieu Ladagnous led his FDJ squad across the finish line, he gets the race's first leader's jersey.
Tomorrow's stage will be in France, finishing at Port-Vendres
