By David Hunter Stage 1 Recap Team Sky made the climb too difficult for the sprinters and they exited the back door of the peloton, 1 by 1. My pick, Nizzolo, was caught behind a crash and didn’t get the opportunity to chase back on. In the sprint it was Swiss rider, Michael Albasini, that pulled…
By David Hunter Prologue recap I did ask the question why Van Garderen, Peraud and Kwiatkowski were going out earlier than the rest, now we now why!

In my preview, Bongiorno, mentioned that the both of them had been doing some altitude training and it obviously paid off! My tip, Niemiec, finished 2nd with Duarte 3rd. Cadel Evans moved into…
By David Hunter Stage 1 Recap BMC stole the show with an amazing performance, putting Daniel Oss into the overall lead. Team NetApp – Endura were a brilliant 2nd, with my pick, Movistar, a disappointing 4th. Stage 2 Limone Sul Garda – San Giacomo di Brentonico 164.5km We head to the mountains! Yet again the organisers…
