By David Hunter Saint Etienne – Rasteau 192km After the fireworks of today, we should be in for a quieter day. The race opens with a bang, 12.2km at 4.5%. Anyone wanting to join the morning break will have to be a good climber, that’s for sure. Once over the climb, we have a very quiet…
By David Hunter Cascina – Arezzo 203km We return to Arezzo after a successful addition to the race in 2014. Last year, Peter Sagan took a well deserved win and he goes into this stage desperate to repeat it.
By David Hunter Varennes Sur Allier – Croix de Chaubouret 204km The Queen stage has arrived after 3 relaxing days for the bunch. The racing has been very boring so far, apart from the final 5km, but we should get a great day in the mountains.
By David Hunter Camaiore – Cascina 153km The racing proper gets started and we have a sprinter friendly stage, that should end with a mass sprint. It’s a day for the sprinters and lead-in trains, so time to talk riders!
By David Hunter Saint Amand Montrond – Saint Pourcain Sur Sioule 179km Greipel got his stage win today, after a perfect lead-out from Lotto. The German got a textbook win, thanks to a dominant display from him and his team. Also getting things right were Demare and FDJ. Lead-out man, Delage, eventually did a good job….
By David Hunter Lido di Camaiore – Lido di Camaiore 5.7km After a late decision to cancel the TTT, the race starts with a prologue instead. The short distance and 5 corners means that we’re looking for prologue specialists and we have a few. The riders capable of putting in around 53km/h for 5.4km are Sagan,…
By David Hunter Everyone loves Tirreno. This year we have Contador, Quintana, Nibali, Urán and Rodríguez. A jaw dropping field. Well we would have but Froome has pulled out due to illness. A real shame for all concerned. The race opens with a 5.4km prologue, after a last minute change of heart. The prologue specialists won’t have…
By David Hunter ZooParc de Beauval – Saint Aignan 172km Kristoff took his 5th win of the season, with a dominant performance in stage 1.

By David Hunter Saint Remy les Chevreuse – Contres 196.5km The race starts it’s long drive South with a nice, easy day in the saddle.
By David Hunter Maurepas – Maurepas 6.7km A prologue with only 4 corners. This is for the big engines!
By David Hunter The race to the sun returns for it’s 73rd edition. Carlos Betancur stole the show in 2014, who will be the winner in 2015? The race opens with a 6.7km prologue. With very few corners, it’s certainly a stage for the big engines. Expect to see Kelderman, Boom, Tony Martin, Kwiatkowski, Jungels, Van…
By David Hunter San Gimignano – Siena 200km It might only be the 9th edition of the race, but it has already made it into the hearts of the fans. The race has 11 sections of “strade bianche” or white roads to you and me. These roads are made from gravel and are very dangerous. Ascents…

The ‘We are Wales’ Pro Cycling Team is the brainchild of Bridgend-born Weinzweig, who has joined forces with his former professional coach Yann Dejan to create a new…
