By David Hunter Stage 15 Recap The break was only 5, but it managed to last until the end. Niemiec, took a brilliant win, as the the 3 amigos spent too long looking at each other. Contador, Valverde and Rodriguez went head to head, like in 2012, and couldn’t shake each other. They stop too…
By David Hunter Stage 1 Recap We got the expected sprint. A headwind meant that the sprinters were cautious and didn’t want to hit the front too early. apart from NetApp, who horribly misjudged the sprint and it cost Bennett the chance to have a go. The Giant boys lost Kittel, as they squeezed against…
By David Hunter Stage 14 Recap What a stage! A big break got away and it stayed away. On the gruelling 20% slopes of the final 2km, it looked like Oliver Zaugg, was going to take a famous win. However, Ryder Hesjedal had timed his move to perfection, and he took the lead with 150m…

By David Hunter Stage 12 Recap What a boring stage! Break of 1, with no chance of success. Peloton went very slow, until the final 20km. There was a crash in the final corner, denying a few sprinters the chance of a win. It left Degenkolb with an easy job and he took the stage….
By David Hunter Stage 10 Recap The first, really fast time was set by Cancellara. His time looked very good and only one man was able to beat it….Tony Martin! He won the stage by 11 seconds, a close margin but it was never in doubt. The GC battle erupted! Froome had a disaster, Quintana…
