By David Hunter Sion > Thyon 2000 162km The big day.

By David Hunter Estavayer > Estavayer 169km Like stage 1, but just a little harder.

By David Hunter La Neuveville > Saint-Imier 165km This is a tough day in the saddle.

By David Hunter The first proper road stage.

By David Hunter Oron > Oron 4km Prologue A very interesting looking prologue.

By David Hunter The spring classics are over, off to Switzerland we go. The next period on the calendar is all about preparing for the Giro or Tour, but the races themselves are very important, they won’t be used as a simple training ride. Romandie has attracted fewer Giro riders compared to usual, most decided to…

By David Hunter Liège > Liège 259km The last monument for a while.

By David Hunter Bodrum > Kusadasi 161km The final stage.

By David Hunter Paterna > Valencia 92km The final stage is a short one. Just 92km in length and 99.9% certain to end in a sprint. Weather A sunny day for the bunch. The wind will be around 15-20km/h and comes from the south-east, which means a headwind sprint. Finale Much of the closing kilometres is…

By David Hunter Valkenberg > Berg En Terblijt 216km Welcome to the new Amstel Gold.

By David Hunter Marmaris > Turgutreis 180km An interesting looking stage.
