By David Hunter Elche > Ondara 168.5km The opening stage has 2721m of climbing, which could be too hard for some of the sprinters, but it really does depend on the attitude of the peloton.

By David Hunter Usually one of the opening races in the European season, the race now finds itself a new spot in the calendar due to COVID. The race finishes on Sunday, which means riders who are doing Amstel can’t come here, and as it comes straight after the Basque Country it means we line up…

By David Hunter Beysehir > Alanya 213km The longest stage of the race.

By David Hunter Konya > Konya 145km The same as today, just a little bit longer.

By David Hunter Konya > Konya 73km The tough opening stage had to be changed due to lots of snow, luckily the organisers had a plan B.

By David Hunter Off to Turkey we go. Stage 1 The opening stage has been cancelled due to snow, but the organisers have managed to find a replacement at short notice. Just 73km long, this one should be a sprint.

By David Hunter Ondarroa > Arrate 111.5km Welcome to hell.

By David Hunter Hondarribia > Ondarroa 159.5km A sprint stage?

By David Hunter Vitoria – Gasteiz > Hondarribia 189.5km A beautiful stage.

By David Hunter Amurrio > Ermualde 167.5km Another day, another steep climb.

By David Hunter Terneuzen > Schoten 194km The hardest looking edition of Scheldeprijs I’ve ever seen. The route is similar to previous years, but it’s the weather that should make this a brutal race.

By David Hunter Zalla > Sestao 153.5km This first road stage and we’re starting with a bang.

By David Hunter Bilbao > Bilbao 13.8km ITT We start with a TT.

By David Hunter There just isn’t another race like this, I’m so happy that we’re back in the Basque Country. Stage 1 The race begins with a 13.8km ITT, but with some climbing. Straight from the gun the road rises for around 2.3km at 7.3%. Then it’s mainly downhill, before a brutal ramp up to the…

By David Hunter Antwerpen > Oudenaarde 254km The big one.

By David Hunter Estella > Estella 203.5km A tough old race.

By David Hunter Roselare > Waregem 184km DDV is a beautiful race, it offers hope to most riders. It’s not as hard as E3, which interests the sprinters, but it rarely ends in a sprint.

By David Hunter Barcelona > Barcelona 133.5km To Barcelona we go.
