By David Hunter Stage 16 Recap We got the large break, as expected. On the final climb we were left with 3: Rogers, Serpa and Voeckler. On the descent, it was Rogers that struck out to claim another brilliant win. The yellow jersey group exploded on the final climb, as Movistar set a fierce pace….
ByDavid Hunter Stage 16 Carcassonne – Bagneres de Luchon 237.5km Welcome to the Pyrenees! The race enters the final week and the riders face the longest stage of the tour. This is a long and demanding stage with 5 categorised climbs and a fairly technical descent to the finish. The opening climb, Côte de Fanjeaux is…
By David Hunter Stage 8 Recap The break was surprisingly weak and relatively small, it was doomed from the beginning. The pace at the bottom of the Verbier was fierce and the peloton small as we approached 5km to go. Both Tinkoff and Belkin maintained a high pace, but it was Chaves who attacked first. Formolo…
By David Hunter Stage 7 Recap As predicted, Tony Martin won and Tom Dumoulin was 2nd. What I didn’t expect was the podium place for Rui Costa. The German wanted to take more time, than the 28 seconds he got on Costa. The TT puts Costa in a very strong position, especially as Mollema and Kreuziger…

By David Hunter Stage 5 Recap We got the expected sprint, with a very dangerous finish. The very tight corner, with 300 metres to go, brought a crash involving Van Poppel, Goss and Cavendish. This stopped them and anyone behind from contesting the sprint, but to be honest, they were already out of it. The lead-out…
By David Hunter Stage 4 Recap We got the sprint that most teams wanted. Giant – Shimano were doing a good lead-out, but Degenkolb wasn’t on the end of the train. Instead it was Mark Renshaw. Before he managed to hit top speed, Sacha Modolo launched the sprint. Sagan attacked from the right, and took a…
By David Hunter Stage 3 Recap The final climb turned out to be a real killer on the legs. We had a small bunch left to fight out the glory. First to go was Cadel Evans. He dragged Albasini with him and the Swiss rider led into the last corner, then came Sagan! He surged past…
