By David Hunter Czestochowa – Dabrowa Gornicza 146km Another short stage and another lap circuit. Once into the finishing town, the riders have 5 laps of a 10km circuit. There is a small climb, but nothing to worry about. Similarly, there are a few climbs at the start of the race, but again, they are not…
By David Hunter Racing returns to America, for the hardest race in the calendar. The Tour of Utah, prides itself in being much harder than all other American stage races, and it is! This year, they’ve decided to make it even harder. Instead on relying upon the same old stages, the organisers have thrown in some…
By David Hunter Livarot – Fougeres 190.5km The race continues it’s stay in Britanny, with a day designed for the sprinters. The profile isn’t easy, as the roads in this area are rarely flat. There is just one, cat 4 climb, so Daniel Teklahaimanot, will have another day in the KOM jersey. This stage is all…

By David Hunter Seraing-Cambrai 223.5km First thing to note is the length of the stage. At 223.5km, it is getting close to Classic length. It’s not quite there, but this is going to take it out of the riders, especially after two crazy days.
By David Hunter Anvers-Huy 159.5km This is not Flèche Wallone! Yes, we finish on the Mur, but this stage is around 10% as hard as Flèche. Their, the riders cover 11 climbs, with the Mur done 3 times. This isn’t even a mini Flèche Wallone. This is a very easy stage, with a hard finish. It…
By David Hunter Utrecht – Zelande 166km We are in Holland and that means flat roads, no hills! We don’t even have a token cat 4 climb, to give the jersey to someone. The map of the stage, is more important than the profile.
