By David Hunter Muggio – Pinerolo 240km What a pointlessly long stage! It’s another day that Kruijswijk needs to survive.

By David Hunter Molvena – Cassano d’Adda 196km Sprint time. This is what the Italian sprinters have been waiting for.

By David Hunter Bressanone – Andalo 132km A short stage. Expect some fireworks. The day after the rest day is always a worry.

By David Hunter Castelrotto – Alpe di Siusi 10.8km ITT Mountain time trial day. One of the reasons I love the Giro, is their own love of the mountain TT. It really is a very special day.

By David Hunter Alpago – Corvara 210km Day 2 of the Giro! The day begins with 94km of climbing. Best of luck to the sprinters left!

By David Hunter Palmanova – Cividale del Friuli 170km Friday the 13th! This is the first of three huge days in the mountains.

By David Hunter Noale – Bibione 182km The last sprint for some of the bunch. It’s safe to say that Greipel and Ewan will be leaving the Giro after this stage. It represents one more chance at a stage win.

By David Hunter Modena – Asolo 227km Another long day in the saddle. The end of the stage is much harder than the profile suggest.
