Volta a Catalunya 2015 – Stage 2 Preview
By David Hunter Mataro – Olot 195km On paper, this looks an easier day in the saddle. We only have two categorised climbs and both are fairly easy, but the road rises most of the way home. The full climb is 4.84km at 4.5% and it does include a section of around 15%, but it’s not…
Volta a Catalunya 2015 – Stage 1 Preview
By David Hunter Calella – Calella 191.1km The race begins with a familiar looking stage. Both 2013 and 2014 started with a similar stage, finishing in Calella. Luca Mezgec took a big, bunch sprint in 2014 and Gianni Meersman won a small, bunch sprint in 2013.

Tirreno Adriatico 2015 – Stage 6 Preview

It’s 5.5km at 4.5% and crests 80km from the end of the stage. This means the climb is of no consequence…
