By David Hunter Fuji International Speedway 44km ITT A hilly TT, but still one for the specialists.
By David Hunter Dinant > Quaregnon 189km The final stage is one that will interest the sprinters, but the puncheurs will sense a chance of upsetting the fast men. The issue is a couple of little kickers that are in the lap circuit, they don’t last long but they are tough.
By David Hunter Tokyo > Fuij Circuit 232km A race like no other. With so many factors to consider, my head is about to burst.
By David Hunter Neufchâteau > Fleurus 205km Harder than it looks.
By David Hunter Plombières > Érezée 173km The organisers have had to change the planned start to the stage, the peloton start the day 46km into the old route. This removes a long drag of 13.5km at 3%, but they’ve decided to add another lap of the finishing circuit, which means we now have three ascents…
By David Hunter Zolder > Zolder 120km The second stage had to be cancelled after the horrific floods in the local area, but the organisers have managed to come up with an alternative at short notice, well done to them.
By David Hunter Genappe > Héron 182km With 2100m of climbing, this should be a day for the sprinters, but it could be the only one in the race. This means teams with a sprint option will be determined to ensure we get one, no mistakes.

By David Hunter Chatou > Paris 107.5km A record breaking day?
By David Hunter Libourne > Saint-Émilion 30.5km ITT Time for a TT.
By David Hunter Mourenx > Libourne 207km It looks like a sprint stage, but will it be?
By David Hunter Pau > Luz Ardiden 130km We head to the Spanish mountain.
By David Hunter Muret > Col du Portet 178.5km A big day of climbing.
By David Hunter Pas De La Case > Saint-Gaudens 169km Sound the claxon, it’s another breakaway day.
By David Hunter Céret > Andorre-La-Vieille 191.5km Andorra
By David Hunter Carcassonne > Quillan 184km Another tough looking stage.
By David Hunter Nîmes > Carcassonne 219.5km Will this stage be another for the breakaway riders or the sprinters?
