By David Hunter Villabassa – Funes San Pietro 142km This is was the original plan. Due to lots of snow on Passo delle Erbe, the organisers have dropped the climb and the stage looks like this.
By David Hunter Binche – Mur de Huy 204.5km Certainly the most boring race in the Ardennes week, but at least it provides us with an exciting finish!
By David Hunter Innsbruck – Innervillgraten 181.3km After an exciting finish to the opening stage, we should be in for more fun in the second stage.
By David Hunter Kufstein – Innsbruck Hungerburg 142.3km The race begins with a fairly demanding stage.

By David Hunter Barcelona – Barcelona 140km After a surprisingly important stage today, we are all set for some fireworks in Barcelona.
