By David Hunter After the fun of Strade Bianche, the racing continues in Italy with the 53rd edition of this beautiful race. Route Stage 1 The race begins with the usual TTT. At 21.5km long, it is a big day for the GC, teams cannot afford a poor performance.
By David Hunter The proper racing continues with another edition of the Race to the Sun. It’s a week full of brilliant stages and exciting racing. Bring it on! Route Stage 1 The opening stage has the perfect sting in the tail, with a 1.9km rise at 5.4%. It’s one of those finishes where the sprinters…
By David Hunter We are back in Andalucía, my favourite place in the world! Get ready for another week of amazing racing, featuring some brutal climbs. Route Stage 1
By David Hunter We are back in Portugal, for the 44th edition of this race. The organisers have decided to stick with a traditional route. Route Stage 1
By David Hunter The racing continues in the east, with the 9th edition of this race. We have the usual mix of stages for the sprinters, puncheurs and climbers. Route Stage 1 We open with the standard sprint stage. Nothing much to see here.
By David Hunter The peloton head east and we get ready for a race that is made for the sprinters. No transfers, nice weather and beautiful hotels, no wonder the riders love Dubai! Route Stage 1
By David Hunter This is a race that I do like. It comes nice and early in the season and has a little bit of everything, hopefully we get another exciting edition of the race. The Route Stage 1
By David Hunter The World Tour is back! As Europeans are currently freezing in ice and snow, the pro peloton are off to sunny Australia, for the 20th edition of this race. The event has been dominated by Australians, in recent years, taking the title in six of the last seven editions. Not only that, but…
By David Hunter Despite fears over security, the organisers have done a great job organising the race. After cancelling it earlier in the year, most people feared that it wouldn’t happen, despite world tour status. Not only have the organisers managed to put together a good route, but they have attracted some good teams too. Well…
By David Hunter We head to Spain for the final grand tour of the season. Easily my favourite of the three, I simply love the route the organisers continue to provide. If you love steep climbs, this is the race for you! Important Stages Stage 5 The 1st of the wall finishes. The stage ends with…
By David Hunter We’ve had a change of name, but no change to the brilliant structure of the race. As usual we dart between Belgium and Holland, with a nice mix of climbs, cobbles and sprints. Get ready for a fantastic week of racing. Route Stage 1 We open with a standard sprint stage, as long…
By David Hunter This is a cracking race, one that allows riders a final tune up before they head off to La Vuelta. The organisers usually provide something for everyone, but this is really a race for climbers to test their legs. Route Stage 1 Uphill sprint alert! This is something that the organisers are famous…
By David Hunter After having to be scheduled at the same time as the Tour, in 2016, it’s good to see the race return to a better slot. As usual, most of the riders here are looking to pick up form for the Vuelta, this is a perfect preparation race. Route Stage 1 The race begins…
By David Hunter Like most fans of this sport, I can’t help but be disappointed with the Tour de France route. Lacking in demanding mountaintop finishes, this year is great for riders who climb well and TT even better. With many sprint stages, it promises to be a tough race for fans to watch. I hope I’m…
By David Hunter We head back to Switzerland, for the 81st edition of the Tour de Suisse. After an injury hit season, it’s great to see, Miguel Angel Lopez, back to defend his crown. Route Stage 1 We open with a stage that should really be called a prologue, but the organisers have decided to call…
By David Hunter The Giro is over and now it’s all about preparing for the Tour de France. As usual, the Dauphine is the number one preparation race for the Tour, featuring most of the top challengers. Route Stage 1 The race begins with a difficult looking stage in Saint Etienne. The riders tackle a tricky lap…
By David Hunter The 100th edition of the Giro is sure to be a memorable one. The organisers have delivered a very interesting race, with plenty of huge moments along the way. The final week is hugely demanding, expect to see the main riders coming into the race a little undercooked, so that they can peak for…
By David Hunter Back in the land of tea and Yorkshire puddings, readers in South America might need to google what a Yorkshire Pudding is, or better still, go and eat one! Route Stage 1 With only three categorised climbs, this should really be a sprint. Robin Hood’s Bay is a very steep climb, but it…
