By David Hunter Castelraimondo > Lido De Fermo 169.3km After today’s excitement, time for something a little calmer.

By David Hunter Le Plan-Du-Var > Levens 93km After having to change the final stage due to COVID restrictions this is what the organisers have come up with. It is significantly easier than the original stage, but it could be a good one to watch.

By David Hunter Castellato > Castelfidardo 205.9km This is my idea of heaven.

By David Hunter Le Broc > Valdeblore 119km The organisers had to change the start of this stage due to COVID regulations currently in the south of France, but we still get to finish at the top of Colmiane. The stage is now 119km, but it does feature three cat 2 climbs in the opening 50km,…

By David Hunter Brignoles > Briot 202.5km Too hard for the sprinters, not hard enough for the GC men.

By David Hunter Oinville-sur-Montcient›Amilly(188km) A stage the organisers created with the hope of seeing some echelons.

By David Hunter Saint-Cyr-L’École > Saint-Cyr-L’École 166km Stage 1 is a day with a few possible outcomes, but to me it looks like a sprint. We start and finish in Saint-Cyr-L’École, which is the twin town of where I live!

By David Hunter Siena > Siena 184.2km For me, it’s the first monument of the year.

By David Hunter Laigueglia > Laigueglia 202.9km This race is all about the lap circuit.
