By David Hunter Stage 3 Review What a day for Tom Dumolulin. Resplendent, in his Dutch National TT jersey, the Giant-Shimano rider managed to beat the brilliant time set by Fabian Cancellara. The Swiss rider had posted an amazing time, and it looked like he would win but Tom fought to the end. The Dutchman…
By David Hunter Stage 2 Recap What a stage! It should have been a day for the sprinters, but Belkin had other ideas. They ripped the peloton apart, until a small group was left at the front. This group were to go on and fight out the stage victory. Behind this, Tom Dumoulin, had a…

By David Hunter Stage 6 Recap Yet again, Majka delivered. Oliver Zaugg did a great job for him and he attacked with 3km to go. Izagirre was the only one who could follow but he blew not long afterwards. Thankfully, Intxausti was going well and provided a wheel to follow. Majka continued on for the…
