By David Hunter After the enjoyment of racing in Australia and Argentina, we return to Europe and the sunny island of Mallorca. The weather has been kind over the last couple of weeks, making training most enjoyable for the all the teams. The race lasts 4 days, with 2 stages for sprinters, 1 for climbers and…
San Luis – San Luis 119.6km The race ends with a trip around the streets of San Luis. We have one climb, after just 15.7km and then a descent into town. From there we begin 5 laps of a street circuit. It does contain a little climb, but this is a day for the…

By David Hunter San Luis – Cerro del Amago 140km A huge day lies in front of the peloton. This is the day where the GC will be shaped. The Amago is one hell of a climb, 11km at 6.8%, with a maximum of 15.5%. What makes it even harder is the changing gradient. There isn’t…
