Ciclismo Internacional

By David Hunter Roa – Riaza 204km A weird day awaits us. It’s quite unique for a Grand Tour to have such an easy looking final week. Of course, the riders make the race, not the parcours. We could see a surprisingly good day, but I have a feeling a boring day lies ahead.

By David Hunter Burgos – Burgos 38.7km A career defining moment, potentially awaits a rider. That’s how important this TT is.

By David Hunter Luarca – Quiros 185km This is the day I’ve been waiting for. Today we could well find out, who will win the Vuelta!

By David Hunter Comillas – Sotres. Cabrales 175.8km A relatively easy day awaits the riders, but it has a real sting in the tail.

By David Hunter Vitoria – Alto Campoo 215km The race heads back into the mountains for three stages that will determine the winner of the race.

By David Hunter Calatayud – Tarazona 177km The road south represents a great chance for the opportunists in the bunch.

By David Hunter Andorra – Lleida 173km Now that Andorra is over with, most of the peloton can breathe a sigh of relief. Some didn’t make it out of Andorra and their GC dreams are in tatters. There were many questions and plenty of answers. Aru moved into red, with a stunning performance. His only threats…

By David Hunter Andorra – Cortals d’Encamp 138km The most eagerly anticipated stage of 2015. Ever since the organisers announced the route, cycling fans have been looking forward to his stage. They have Joaquim Rodriguez to blame! This is the same route as his sportive. I pity the poor cyclists that signed up for that race.

By David Hunter Valencia – Castellon 146.6km It’s another day by the beaches of Spain and possibly the last day of beautiful sunshine, for a couple of stages. It’s going to be another hot day, but with a strong breeze off the sea it should be a little cooler for the riders. The wind is perfect…

By David Hunter Torrevieja – Cumbre del Sol 168.3km Last week we started by the seaside and now we’re back! The stage runs through some very popular tourist locations: Alicante, Benidorm and Calpe. Being beside the sea, should mean the riders get a nice breeze from the Med. This would be very welcome. The wind is…

By David Hunter Puebla de Don Fadrique – Murcia 182.5km We head to Murcia, a city where a certain Alejandro Valverde was born. Will it be a happy homecoming?

By David Hunter Jodar – La Alpujarra 191.1km After a cracking opening week, the GC battle starts here. The first mountaintop finish is always a very revealing stage. We usually see one or two of the favourites struggle and the GC picture starts to reveal itself.

By David Hunter Cordoba – Sierra de Cazorla 200.3km Today was easy for the peloton, they needed a rest after a demanding start to the race. This stage is another hard day in the saddle.

By David Hunter Rota – Alcala de Guadaira 167.3km The opening 4 stages of the race have been stressful, difficult and full of incident. Today is like a rest day!

By David Hunter Estepona – Vejer de la Frontera 209.6km The Vuelta usually likes to keep the stage short, but this one is much longer. At 209.6km, it’s the second longest stage of the race, but it should be relatively easy.

By David Hunter Mijas – Malaga 158.4km It’s only stage 3 and we have our first cat 1 climb of the race. The race starts from Mijas and heads to the north of Malaga. It loops around at Torre del Mar, home of the excellent water park, Aqua Velas! At that point it crosses the A7,…

By David Hunter Alhaurin de la Torre – Caminito del Rey 165km After a nice little roll round the beach, the race can really get started. There is no messing around in the Vuelta, we are straight into a very hard finish.
