By David Hunter We are days away from the start of the Giro and it’s time to look at some of the riders that will feature heavily over the next 3 weeks. This version of the Giro is difficult and it features many mountain stages, meaning the sprinters will have to hang tough! The best sprinter…
By David Hunter Michal Kwiatkowski deserves a rest! After a wonderful start to the season, including doing well in the Ardennes, the young Pole took a brilliant victory in the prologue. As I said in my preview he wouldn’t compete for the GC, losing lots of time in stage 3, before withdrawing from the race. Enjoy…
By David Hunter Stage Recap As I predicted, we didn’t get a sprint. My pick, Voeckler, managed to get into the break and was great throughout. The big surprise, was that Michael Albasini, went in the break. It was a great decision by the Swiss rider! The stage was too difficult for the teams to control…

By David Hunter Stage 1 Recap Team Sky made the climb too difficult for the sprinters and they exited the back door of the peloton, 1 by 1. My pick, Nizzolo, was caught behind a crash and didn’t get the opportunity to chase back on. In the sprint it was Swiss rider, Michael Albasini, that pulled…
By David Hunter Prologue recap I did ask the question why Van Garderen, Peraud and Kwiatkowski were going out earlier than the rest, now we now why! It seemed that the final riders had to contend with a stronger headwind in the final kilometre, which was also a false flat. Anyway, the young Pole took another…
