By David Hunter Stage 5 Recap After some crazy early racing, we eventually got our break. The presence of Atapuma and De Clercq meant that Team Sky were busy all day. On the descent off the penultimate climb, Alberto Contador, launched a blistering attack. He took 1 minute in a very short space of time, before…
By David Hunter Stage 4 Recap We got a breakaway win, as predicted. A few of the men I mentioned made the break but so did Maxime Bouet. Team Sky were happy to let him take yellow, but NetApp – Endura rode hard to try and bring the break back. They failed, but stopped Bouet from…

Unfortunately, bad luck and injury have stopped this from happening. His first race was the Tour of Oman, but he punctured…
