By David Hunter The build-up to the Tour de France, starts here! The 2014 route is harder than 2013 and suits climbers more than the TT riders. We have a short(10km) ITT to open the race and then straight to a mountaintop finish in stage 2. Stage 3 should see a sprint finish before the riders…
By David Hunter Stage 20 Recap As predicted, the break made it! Quite a few of the riders I mentioned made the selection and in the end we had Rogers, Bongiorno and Pellizotti. With 3km to go, a fan tried to push Bongiorno, but he forced him off his bike. It was a real shame that…
By David Hunter Stage 19 Recap As expected, Nairo Quintana won the TT, but he was pushed all the way by Fabio Aru. The young Italian delivered a brilliant performance, to put a little bit of extra pressure on Uran. It was a bad day for Majka, Evans and Kelderman as the GC had one last…

Some of the teams claimed it was on the radio and others said it wasn’t. Rolland attacked on the descent and Quintana followed….
By David Hunter Stage 15 Recap What a stage! The break didn’t make it. Arredondo attacked from the foot of the climb, but it was far too far out, and he failed. The GC riders attacked each other and the situation was constantly changing. It looked like Pierre Rolland was going to get away but it…
By David Hunter Stage 14 Recap A massive break of 22 riders got away at the start of the stage and didn’t come back. The GC riders were happy to wait until the last climb, before attacking each other. Tim Wellens managed to pick up a lot of KOM points and incredibly the stage was won…
