By David Hunter Stage 3a De Panne – De Panne 111.4km The race ends with it’s usual split stage. First up, is a trip around the streets of De Panne. Rain is forecast for the morning and that’s bad news for the riders. This is usually a very nervous stage and wet roads is going to…
By David Hunter Zottegem – Koksijde 217.2km After the excitement of stage 1, the riders head in the opposite direction in stage 2.With the wind coming from the West, that means a headwind for most of the stage. All of the bunch will have to be extra vigilant, when they turn right in Loker. At this…
By David Hunter 3 days, 4 stages and lots of wind is about to welcome the riders to De Panne. Remember the wind on Sunday? Well, it’s stayed around and it’s worse! We have a wind of 43km/h, gusting up to and beyond 80km/h. This is going to be a hard few days. Stage 1 will…

By David Hunter Harelbeke – Harelbeke 215km After a great race in DDV, the peloton rolls into Harelbeke. It’s another race dominated by hellingen and cobbles.
By David Hunter Tona – La Molina 188.4km The Queen stage is here and I think Europcar are in for a hell of a lot of work! Tinkoff-Saxo really turned up today and put the whole field under pressure. A combination of poor climbing and bad crashes allowed them to distance most of the GC riders,…
