By David Hunter “I got my head kicked in at the Giro Valle D’Aosta, crashed 5 times in 2 days and otl’d before the final day. Sort of surprised I’m still here after that.”

By David Hunter “31st October is when the route comes out for the Giro. Right? It’s unfinished business!” Spoken like a true fighter. Ben O’Connor was one of the sensations of 2018, mainly due to a stage win in Tour of the Alps and a brilliant showing in the Giro. He was sitting on the cusp…

After a gentle start, the riders hit the lap circuit after 82km, where they spend the next 130km of the day. The initial lap circuit features two climbs and a fast descent, with the speed increasing…

By David Hunter Kufstein – Innsbruck 265km Time for the main event.
By David Hunter Alpbachtal Seenland – Innsbruck 53km ITT Time for the men to battle against the clock.
By David Hunter Innsbruck 62.8km TTT This is the last time we’ll see trade teams fighting for this title, next year they will compete for their country. I think a lot of teams would love to take the final gold medals.
