By David Hunter The riders return to Belgium, after a brief “holiday” in Canada! They tackle the familiar route, with plenty of short, steep climbs, ending with the climb up to Namur. This race is all about the final few kilometres.
By David Hunter This is the 68th edition of the race, which was won by Pippo Pozzato, in 2013. The race is usually more selective, than Coppa Bernocchi, due to the 4 climbs in the 2nd half of the race. They are:- Salita di Ello – 1.9km at 6% Salita di Colle Brianza – 4km…

By David Hunter Stage 2 Recap The climb proved hard enough to distance Kittel and we got the expected attack from Chavanel. Also in attacking mood was Alex Dowsett and Michal Kwiatkowski.
