By David Hunter Antwerpen > Oudenaarde 254km The big one.

By David Hunter Estella > Estella 203.5km A tough old race.

By David Hunter Roselare > Waregem 184km DDV is a beautiful race, it offers hope to most riders. It’s not as hard as E3, which interests the sprinters, but it rarely ends in a sprint.

By David Hunter Barcelona > Barcelona 133.5km To Barcelona we go.

By David Hunter Ieper > Wevelgem 253.5km A big day out.

By David Hunter Tarragona > Mataró 202.5km A sprint stage, but where are all the sprinters?

By David Hunter La Pobla De Segur > Manresa 200.5km Another day that suits the breakaway.

By David Hunter Harelbeke > Harelbeke 204km Mini-Flanders is a fair description of E3.

By David Hunter Canal Olímpic De Catalunya > Vallter 2000 204km The first of the big mountain stages.

By David Hunter Brugge > De Panne 202.5km Brugge to De Panne is the race we got to replace the 3 Days of De Panne, it’s such a shame that race is no more. We start out in Brugge and after 54km before we hit the lap circuit in De Panne, which has three full laps…

By David Hunter Banyoles > Banyoles 18.6km ITT TT day.

By David Hunter Calella > Calella 179.5km The normal opening stage which starts and finishes in Calella.

By David Hunter Catalunya, one of the hardest one-week races in the whole season. This year the organisers have ramped things up a little, out goes La Molina and back comes Valter 2000 and Port Aine, two very difficult mountaintop finishes. It’s not a great week for sprinters! This is the first time since 2013 both…

By David Hunter Milan > Sanremo 299.4km The first monument of the year.

By David Hunter Bredene > Koksijde 200km A new name, and a new look, but one I recognize.

By David Hunter Deinze > Nokereberg 193.5km Back to Belgium we go.

By David Hunter San Benedetto Del Tronto > San Benedetto Del Tronto 10.1km ITT The organisers did plan to use a different route, but they have reverted to the old one.
