By David Hunter Ala – Fierozzo Val dei Mocheni 183.8km After a brilliant performance by Team Sky, and Richie Porte, they return to the mountains to try and seal the GC. The longest stage in the race is demanding, ending with two tough climbs.
By David Hunter Arco – Brentonico 168.2km It might just be stage 2, but it’s time for the Queen stage of the race. It features the only HC climb of the race and it’s a beauty. With 12 KOM points on offer, any rider who fancies the jersey will be looking to take the climb.
By David Hunter Waremme – Mur de Huy 205.5km The Mur de Huy, one of the famous climbs in cycling. Win here and you’ll be remembered for life! The race is usually all about the famous wall but the organisers have changed things around this year.

By David Hunter One of my favourite races of the year! This year, we have 4 stages: 1 TTT, 2 mountain stages and 1 “flat” stage. This is a race for good climbers, sprinters should go home. The opening stage is a 13km TTT. The opening half is nice and easy, but the closing half…

By David Hunter Vitoria – Zumarraga 170.7km This stage is brilliant! We have 8 categorised climbs, but all is not as it seems. Both the cat 1 climbs are quite easy and won’t cause any problem.
By David Hunter Bilbao – Bilbao 162.7km The race begins with a typical day in the Basque country. The weather is good, which will please many of the riders, but not Simon Spilak!
