By David Hunter Doha – Doha 135km The organisers have decided to use this stage as their test event for the World Championships. The road race course is very similar to this, although not identical. We head out of the city and up the coast, before turing back and heading back south. Once back in Doha,…
By David Hunter Desert racing is back, but sadly a lot of teams didn’t get the memo! There will be no Etixx, Sky, Trek, Lotto and Tinkoff. Such a shame that the teams that love echelon riding have decided to skip the race. It certainly won’t be as good as in previous years. The race has…
By David Hunter Valencia – Valencia 120.7km The race finishes with a little trip around Valencia. At 120km, this is nice and short and should end in another sprint. Time for Cofidis to see if they can get it right.
By David Hunter Orihuela – Xorret del Cati 141.3km It’s been a big week of racing, with stages in Dubai and Spain. Forget about the rest, this is the best stage of the week. It might even be one of the best of the year. The reason? Xorret de Cati and 4km at 11%! Greg Henderson…
By David Hunter Dubai – Burj Khalifa 137km Time for the final stage and the GC is delicately balanced. After some brilliant performances by Lobato, Nizzolo and Kittel, it’s the Trek man that leads the way. He has a 2 second gap to Lobato and a 6 second gap to Kittel. With 10, 6 and 4…
By David Hunter Dubai – Hatta Dam 172km It’s the big day for the GC. I’m sure we all remember this brilliant finish from 2015, I cannot wait myself! Last year the race was held together and the peloton arrived, as one, at the foot of the climb. There is no guarantee it happens again.
By David Hunter Sagunto – Alzira 173.5km After a day for TT riders and one for the climbers, today is a chance for the sprinters to shine. The early climb should make it straightforward for the break to get a nice lead, it will be up to the sprinter teams to keep it at a reachable…
By David Hunter Castellon – Fredes 163.3km Stage 2 and it’s time for the mountains! It’s a nice and easy day, until the final 15km.
