By David Hunter Deinze-Wevelgem 240km I’ll cut straight to the main news……the weather is going to be horrible. There’s going to be a lot of rain, it’s going to be cold and we could get winds of 60-80km/h. The wind will be coming from the South-West, which means long sections of crosswind.
By David Hunter Cervera – Port Aventura 194.1km After the crazy stage 5, the peloton will all be looking forward to a quieter day. We have two categorised climbs: Alt de Prades and Alt del Coll Roig. The cat 1 climb is 11km at 4% and the cat 3 climb is 3.7km at 5%. It crests…
By David Hunter Alp – Valls 195.4km For the third consecutive year, the race finishes in Valls. The stage is mostly downhill and very, very fast. To make it interesting, we have a cat 2 climb, cresting 10.1km from the finish. This climb is 4,1km at 4.8%. The majority of it is on a long, straight…

By David Hunter The first of 4 massive races, over the next 11 days, in Belgium. Like most of them, this race is all about the helligen, all 12 of them!
By David Hunter Mataro – Olot 195km On paper, this looks an easier day in the saddle. We only have two categorised climbs and both are fairly easy, but the road rises most of the way home. The full climb is 4.84km at 4.5% and it does include a section of around 15%, but it’s not…
