By David Hunter If this is the first time you’ve heard the name of Louis Vervaeke, then where have you been? The super talented, 21 year old Belgian, already took 4 wins in 2014. Riding for the Lotto under 23 squad, they’ve been cultivating his talent for a while. He’s now ready to move to…
By David Hunter At 24 years of age, Roy Jans, looks like becoming the next big sprinter from Belgium. He rides for Wanty-Groupe Gobert and produced some eye catching results in 2014. His 2nd place at the Belgian nationals made a lot of fans take note of his name and his excellent end of season…
By David Hunter At just 20 years old, Tiesj Benoot is just one of a long line of talented, young Belgian riders. He has signed a contract with Lotto Soudal and has already competed in a few big races for Lotto Belisol. He was very close to reaching the under 23 World Championship podium, finishing…
By David Hunter He’s just 22 years old and rides for MTN – Qhubeka. Despite his young age he already started to impress in 2013, with 2nd place in the under 23 World Championship Road Race. 2014 was a transitional year for Louis as he tried to make his mark, in the world of pro cycling….
By David Hunter What an amazing season for Tim. At the age of 23, he competed in his first Grand Tour, the Giro d’Italia. When I say competed, he really competed! Two 2nd places and 4th in the KOM classification. He followed this up with 2nd place in Ster ZLM, before taking his first ever…
By David Hunter The end of the season is upon us. The riders head from Bonneval to Tours, travelling 237.5km. The weather forecast seems to be favouring the riders and they should get a nice day, with not much wind.
By David Hunter We get a repeat of the exact same stage from last year.
By David Hunter My favourite race of the year! 200km long, with 5 ascents of the climb to San Luca. It’s 2.1km at 10%, with a maximum of 18%. This is why I love the race.
By David Hunter The riders will be looking forward to an easy second stage.
By David Hunter The race begins with a 167km stage. It looks like a nice day for the sprinters, with only 3 categorised climbs, but looks can be deceiving. The route is peppered with short, steep ramps and is a challenging day in the saddle.
By David Hunter The last World Tour race of 2014 and the last Tour of Beijing. We have a more interesting route than 2013, with the introduction of a demanding and hilly day, on stage 3.
By David Hunter While most riders are in Belgium and France, we have 3 more races left in Italy. The first of these is the 62nd edition of Coppa Sabatini.
By David Hunter The peloton are in Belgium, for one of the last races in 2014. They face a challenging 194.5km route, familiar to most.
By David Hunter After a week in Spain, we return to Italy! It’s the 95th edition of the race, which ends with 2 quick ascents of the beautiful climb, to Basilica di Superga. The race is 193.5km long, but it only gets interesting in the final 30km.
By David Hunter We know the course, we know the climbs, now, it’s time for the main event! Ladies and gentleman, we have the elite men’s road race. 254.8km, yes, you heard me, 254.8km! This isn’t a little ride around the park, this is brutal. The length of the race, means, we will see an…
