By David Hunter “I want to keep moving forward. There won’t be any big break out, it will be a slow and steady grind which suits me just fine. Start turning some of those podiums into wins by chipping away, refining the process and doing the work.”
By David Hunter “I started with cyclocross when I was 10. In the beginning I still combined cyclocross and football on a good level, but a few years later, when I also began road cycling, I stopped football and focused on cycling. I live in a very small village, between the fields and the farmers, with…
By David Hunter One of the joys of this series is finding a rider on the brink of something special. Alfdan De Decker is a sprinter, a fast man and a winner. He’s just 22 years of age, but already has secured a contract with Wanty Groupe – Gobert, thanks to an impressive 2018. Belgium doesn’t…
By David Hunter Powerhouse, rouleur, big engine, breakaway expert, all rounder, domestique. There are many words you can use to describe Aimé De Gendt, all of which are actually true. De Gendt is one of those cyclists who can fulfil many roles within a team, something his new bosses will be delighted about.
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…
By David Hunter Bergamo – Como 241km The last monument of the season.
By David Hunter Magenta – Torino 200.8km Standard route for this little beauty, with nothing to see until two ascents of the Superga climb.
By David Hunter Saronno – Varese 201.9km It might not look like much, but this is an really difficult race. 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 Bologna – San Luca 207.4km Time for an action packed week of Italian race.

By David Hunter We return to Spain, only feels like we left it a few days ago. Catalunya remains one of the few week long stage races, not to have a TT. You can tell when you look at some of the past winners: Dan Martin, Joaquim Rodriguez, Alejandro Valverde and Michele Scarponi. This is a…
By David Hunter Cusset – Mont Brouilly 165.5km It’s time for the GC riders to come out to play. This will give us the early indications of form and who could potentially win the race. The climb might only be a cat 2, but it’s tough.
By David Hunter Bergamo – Como 245 km The last of the classics is here, as the peloton heads towards the end of the season. It’s been 5 years since the race finished in Como, when Philippe Gilbert completed his Lombardia double. The race also sees the return of Muro di Sormano.
By David Hunter San Francesco Al Campo – Cirie 185km After an absence of 2 years, Italian racing has one of it’s biggest races back. In many ways, this is a classic Italian race. It’s hard enough to encourage the climbers, but easy enough to attract the sprinters. Like so many Italian races, a sprinter and…
By David Hunter Milan – Torino 186km I love this race! Reason being, the climb to Superga is one of my favourite. The riders even have to do it twice. First ascent is 4.2km at 9.1%. Second time round, the riders climb to the very top. That makes it 4.9km, but still at the same gradient.
By David Hunter Busto Arsizio – Varese 198.5km The race is split into two sections. The opening 83.3km sees the race start in Busto Arsizio and head towards Varese.
