By David Hunter We get a repeat of the exact same stage from last year.

By David Hunter My favourite race of the year! 200km long, with 5 ascents of the climb to San Luca. It’s 2.1km at 10%, with a maximum of 18%. This is why I love the race.
By David Hunter The riders will be looking forward to an easy second stage.
By David Hunter The race begins with a 167km stage. It looks like a nice day for the sprinters, with only 3 categorised climbs, but looks can be deceiving. The route is peppered with short, steep ramps and is a challenging day in the saddle.
By David Hunter The last World Tour race of 2014 and the last Tour of Beijing. We have a more interesting route than 2013, with the introduction of a demanding and hilly day, on stage 3.
By David Hunter While most riders are in Belgium and France, we have 3 more races left in Italy. The first of these is the 62nd edition of Coppa Sabatini.
