By David Hunter Alhaurin de la Torre – Caminito del Rey 165km After a nice little roll round the beach, the race can really get started. There is no messing around in the Vuelta, we are straight into a very hard finish.
By David Hunter It always seemed a strange decision to start the race with such a short TTT, but now the route has been revealed, it looks a crazy decision. Cities/Towns pay a lot of money to host the start of a grand tour, mainly due to the financial benefits of hosting all the teams, riders…
By David Hunter The Vuelta is nearly here. A race that some believe is the best Grand Tour, while others think it’s the worst! If you like climbing ridiculous gradients, this is the race for you. What do I think? I think it can be the best. I love watching riders, crawl up hills that most…
By David Hunter Sint Pieters Leeuw – Geraardsbergen 188.6km This is my favourite stage of the week, thanks to the finish in Geraardsbergen. Such a shame it no longer features in the Tour of Flanders.

Secondly, we have some tough climbs. There is less climbing than yesterday but these climbs are much more challenging.
By David Hunter Riemst – Sittard 179.6km It’s time for a mini-Amstel Gold! I know they call it that and they want us to believe it but I need you to stop thinking of Amstel Gold, this is not it. At 180km, it’s not a particularly long race. They do cover 23 climbs, which will be…
By David Hunter Hoogerheide – Hoogerheide 14km ITT The sprinters have had their fun, it’s time for the GC riders to shine. The riders tackle a nice loop circuit, and despite the profile, is flat. The first thing to look at is the weather.
By David Hunter Beveren – Ardooie 171.9km The third stage of the race is a familiar one. The Eneco loves a finish in Ardooie, although some of the riders don’t. This is one of the most dangerous finishes in the World Tour. Last year, it took Zdenek Stybar out of the race, with a terrible crash….
