By David Hunter Stage 13 Recap The peloton decided to play some games today. FDJ were fed up of doing all the chasing, so they stopped after the intermediate sprint point. They looked to Giant, Cannondale and Trek to do some work of their own. The other teams tried to play poker with them, but lost….
By David Hunter Stage 12 Recap Rigoberto Uran delivered one of the most impressive TT performances, in a grand tour, for a long time. He blew his rivals away, with good climbing and descending.

It set-up a very fast sprint finish. I mentioned that Giant – Shimano have the best lead-out and they controlled…
By David Hunter Stage 6 Recap A massive crash at the foot of the final climb led to chaos. 8 men remained upright at the front of the race, and they continued on up the climb. The only GC rider there was Cadel Evans and he took some big time on rivals today. Big losers were…
