By David Hunter Stage 2 Recap Thankfully the rain stayed away from the end of the stage and we avoided any crashes in the final corner. Cannondale continue to show a lack of understanding when it comes to setting up a sprint. They hit the front from 5km out, but it was far too early and…
By David Hunter Stage 1 Recap As predicted Orica took the win. The rain and wind were in their favour and had the conditions been different, OPQS might have taken a surprise win. Both Uran and Evans were the winners in terms of the GC riders. Stage 2 Belfast – Belfast 219km The riders head out…
By David Hunter At last we are here! The Giro opens with a 21.7km TTT Not a hugely technical course, so certainly one for big powerhouses.
By David Hunter The opening grand tour of the year is fast approaching and excitement is building. The riders head to Ireland for the first 3 stages, and if the riders under-estimate the difficulty level they could lose a lot of time. Both stages 2 and 3 are on roads where wind could cause havoc and…
By @pmpalermo Damiano Cunego is one of the first names it came to mind when you speak about italian cycling, at least in the last decade, when he won Giro 2004 despite being so young. After a grey 2013 the Cerro Verenoe´s rider showed a good form with 4º at GP Lugano and Strade Bianche, and…
By David Hunter We are days away from the start of the Giro and it’s time to look at some of the riders that will feature heavily over the next 3 weeks. This version of the Giro is difficult and it features many mountain stages, meaning the sprinters will have to hang tough! The best sprinter…
By David Hunter Michal Kwiatkowski deserves a rest! After a wonderful start to the season, including doing well in the Ardennes, the young Pole took a brilliant victory in the prologue. As I said in my preview he wouldn’t compete for the GC, losing lots of time in stage 3, before withdrawing from the race. Enjoy…
By David Hunter Stage Recap As I predicted, we didn’t get a sprint. My pick, Voeckler, managed to get into the break and was great throughout. The big surprise, was that Michael Albasini, went in the break. It was a great decision by the Swiss rider! The stage was too difficult for the teams to control…
By David Hunter Stage 3 Recap As I thought, the peloton was small as we hit the final climb. Vincenzo Nibali surprised everyone with an attack at the bottom of the climb. Froome, easily managed to join him before powering away. Simon Spilak rode well to catch Froome and the two of them didn’t come back….
By David Hunter Stage 2 Recap As predicted the stage was too tough for Marcel Kittel. Both Hofland and Mezgec made it to the end but didn’t manage to fully contest the sprint. My pick, Nizzolo, had to go from far out and dragged Albasini with him. The Swiss rider had the power to pass the…
The first big cycling race in 2014 is rapidly approaching. On Friday the 9th of May, the 97th Giro d’ Italia will start in Belfast (Northern Ireland). It is the first Grand Tour in 2014 and given the starting field, it promises to be three spectacular weeks. At the start, Joaquim Rodriquez can count on…
