Year: 2020

By David Hunter Monument time.

By David Hunter Monreale > Palermo 15.1km The Giro begins with a quick blast.

By David Hunter Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve > Geraardsbergen 187.5km The race ends with the usual stage in Geraardsbergen.

By David Hunter Out goes the flat 11km TT, in comes a lumpy 8.1km TT. Not what Stefan Küng would have wanted to hear. As soon as the riders leave the start gate they are faced with the climb which is 700m at 7.3%.

By David Hunter The Tour might just be finished, but it’s time for the Giro. Weather Having the race in October will clearly have a huge impact on the race, especially the mountain stages in the final week. With snow already falling, we’ll have to see if those stages go ahead as planned, keep your fingers…

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.
