By @FXavierVidela Bardiani-CSF arrive at the 98th Giro d’Italia with nine combative cyclists, mixing experience and youth, a combination that already bore fruit last season, when they were done with three sets of the Corsa Rosa, a brilliant achievement With the difficult task to match what was done in 2014, Ciclismointernacional.com contacted two riders directed by Reverberi:…
By David Hunter At last, it’s here. The first Grand Tour of 2015 and Italy always provides us with a brilliant race. This year, we have 5 mountaintop finishes, a TTT and a mammoth ITT, at 59.4km. Week 1 The opening week will be nervous and full of crashes. Staying in Italy, provides less travelling and…
By David Hunter Lausanne – Lausanne 17.3km It’s TT day and time for the GC to be settled. The route is different to last year, with more flat and easier climbs. This should favour the TT specialists.
By David Hunter Fribourg – Champex-Lac 166.1km The Queen stage of the race and a tough day in the saddle. The riders are faced with four cat 1 climbs, including a mountaintop finish.
By David Hunter La Neuveville – Fribourg 169.8km On paper, this is the easiest stage of the race, with only three categorised climbs. The opening cat 2 climb, Les Paccots, is 3.9km at 6.8%. That is followed by some undulating roads before the next cat 2 climb 2, Sorens. It’s 4.4km at 5.1%, before the final…
By David Hunter Moutier – Porrentruy 173.2km An easy day in the saddle, or is it really? On first inspection, this looks a fairly standard day. Two cat 3 climbs and two cat 2 climbs. The final cat 2 climb crests 50km from the finishing line and that normally means we would get a bunch sprint….
By David Hunter Apples – Saint Imier 166.1km Stage 2 is certainly the hardest of the medium mountain stages. We have 3 cat 2 climbs and 1 cat 3 climb. They are:- 11.5km at 4.8%, 3.8km at 8.1%, 4km at 8.6% and 8km at 6.7%.
By David Hunter Vallee de Joux – Juraparc 19.2km The race begins with a very easy TTT. 3 corners in 19.2km is the least technical course, I think I’ve ever seen! We don’t have a lot of wind, but it is going to be a cross/headwind. It’s going to rain too, expect more of this throughout…
