By David Hunter Stage 4 Review We got a copy of 2013, with a battle between the two old boys, Danielson and Horner. All else, couldn’t cope with the altitude and gradient and under constant pressure, it was Horner that went pop! Tommy D rode off into the distance to take the stage and GC….
By David Hunter Stage 5 Recap We got the expected “bunch”sprint, after a very long, drag up to the finishing line. Movistar seemed to have got their tactics spot on, but when Capecchi jumped, his teammates didn’t follow. Intxausti, still managed to get in a good position and looked like he might take the win,…
By David Hunter Stage 3 Recap Sprint, as expected, and won by Hofland, as expected! Wackermann delivered the sprint I expected, in stage 1, to claim 2nd place. Easy when you’re the only sprinter in the race. Stage 4 Ogden – Powder Mountain 168.5km At last, some real action!

By David Hunter Stage 3 Recap At last we got a real sprint! Chaos rained on the finishing circuit as it was tight and narrow. Giant delivered the best lead-out but Modolo got on the end of the train, not Mezgec. With the Italian in the best position, it looked like he was going to…
By David Hunter Stage 1 Recap What a boring day! Belkin controlled the peloton and set an extremely slow pace, to ensure that Hofland wasn’t dropped. The riders in the break were weak and the slow pace of the peloton, was still enough to keep the lead at 3 minutes. All the riders in the…
By David Hunter Stage 2 Recap Petr Vakoc pulled off the best Tony Martin impression and he soloed to his first win for OPQS. The young Czech rider was part of a group of 3, that seemed to be controlled by the peloton. AG2R were holding them at 4/5 minutes for most of the day,…
