Month: September 2020

By David Hunter Aalter > Aalter 157km The organisers have moved fast after the Dutch authorities banned the race; I think they deserve a round of applause. We now have seven circuits of the lap in Aalter. Please note, the finishing straight is the same as last year, but not the rest of the lap.

By David Hunter Vlissingen 11km ITT A big moment in the GC battle.

By David Hunter Herve > Huy 202km The races continue to come thick and fast.

By David Hunter Blankenberge – Ardooie 132km We’re off to Ardooie, but it’s not the usual finish.

By David Hunter After the fun of the Tour and World Championships, the races are coming thick and fast. Next up is the Binck Bank Tour. The opening stage finishes in Ardooie, home of the best sprint finish in the calendar, but the organisers have committed blasphemy and changed the finish! How dare they.

By David Hunter Imola > Imola 258.2km Welcome to one of the hardest road races you’ll ever likely to see.

By David Hunter Imola 31.7km ITT The race of truth.

By David Hunter Mantes-la-Jolie > Paris 122km Final stage.

By David Hunter Lure > La Planche des Belles Filles 36.2km ITT Judgement day.

By David Hunter Bourg-en-Bresse > Champagnole 166.5km One for the sprinters?

By David Hunter Méribel > La Roche-sur-Foron 175km The last big road stage of the race.

By David Hunter Grenoble – Col de la Loze 170km A huge day in the battle for the yellow jersey.

By David Hunter La Tour-du-Pin > Villard-de-Lens 164km Let the final week begin.

By David Hunter Lyon > Grand Colombier 174.5km After a day off, the GC riders are back in action. We’d normally have huge crowds on the road for this one, but with a worsening Covid crisis in this part of France, there won’t be any fans on the climbs.

By David Hunter Châtel-Guyon > Puy Mary 191.5km Welcome to the Massif Central.

By David Hunter Chauvigny > Sarran 218km Too hard for the sprinters, not hard enough for the GC riders. Do you remember what Thomas De Gendt once told me?

By David Hunter Châtelaiilon-Plage > Poitiers 167.5km Another day for the sprinters.
