By David Hunter We are back in Switzerland for one of the hardest stage races in the calendar. Some are here to get some final preparations in for the Giro, others have a different calendar and are here for one week of solid racing. Route Prologue We begin with a 5km prologue in Aigle. Full gas…
By David Hunter We have a new name, but the same mix of brutal mountains as the Giro riders arrive to fine tune their form. Route Stage 1 The opening stage might not look that hard, at first glance, but there is a chance for some riders to already lose time. The attitude of the peloton…
By David Hunter We head back to Spain for another hard week in the sun. The organisers have put together a demanding edition of this race. Route Stage 1
By David Hunter The organisers have decided to make the route an attractive one for sprinters. They have been rewarded with many top quick men.
By David Hunter We are back in Britain, for 8 stages, including a split stage. It promises to be another entertaining edition of the race. Stage 1 The race begins in Glasgow, the city of my birth! It’s a lumpy stage, but should end in a bunch sprint.
By David Hunter The last grand tour of the year, for me the best. The mix of brutal climbs, sun and the relaxed atmosphere makes this race special. Coming near the end of the season, it also provides younger riders with a chance of landing some big results. Crucial Stages
By David Hunter Preparation for the Vuelta Espana is now in full swing and plenty of the big guns are here. Due to the Tour of Poland being moved forward in the calendar, Burgos is the only race for riders wanting to fine tune their level before the last grand tour. As usual it’s a mix of…
By David Hunter Time for Le Tour! The biggest race is of the year and we’re in for one hell of a battle. Expect three weeks of crazy racing. Big Stages
By David Hunter Time to get ready for the Tour! Route Stage 1 The race begins with a sprint stage, with a few climbs to roll over near the start. At 196km, it’s long but shouldn’t be a challenge.
By David Hunter Last year was a bumper edition of the race, keeping us entertained until the very end. It’s going to be hard to live up to those expectations. Route Stage 1
By David Hunter The Giro is over and it’s now all about preparing for the Tour. Some riders choose to go to the Tour de Suisse, but as it’s a week closer to the Tour, it’s not a great option. The real contenders will all come here. To reward them, the organisers have devised a brilliant week…
By David Hunter Before I get started I have a confession to make, I’m not the biggest fan of cycling in America. The long straight roads are mind numbing and the racing is often poor as well. Hopefully, the Tour of California, can make me eat my words! Stage 1
By David Hunter It’s always nice when it’s time for the Giro. This year we start in Holland, before heading over to Italy. It promises to be another brilliant edition of the race, it has something for everyone. Key Stages Stage 9
By David Hunter Racing returns to Switzerland for the 70th edition of this demanding race. The organisers have stuck to tradition with an opening prologue, a tough ITT and some days in the mountains. Add in the usual rainy conditions and it promises to be another good week of racing. Prologue The race begins with a…
By David Hunter We are back in Italy for the 40th edition of this fantastic race. It sticks to a traditional route, opening with a TTT, and then three days in the mountains. No mountaintop finish is a decision I’m not happy with, but I’m sure the organisers know what they are doing! Stage 1 The…
By David Hunter After the trials and tribulations of Strade, the peloton continues in Italy, with one of the hardest stage races of the year. As usual, the route offers something for everyone. The list of recent winners is very impressive: Evans, Nibali, Contador and Quintana. It tells me that you have to be a brilliant…
By David Hunter We are back for another incident packed edition of the TDU. Despite being a relatively new world tour event(2008), it is a great race. The riders love it because the stages rarely exceed 150km, ensuring a relatively short day in the saddle. The weather also helps. No freezing European conditions, but beautiful sunshine. Lastly, no…
By David Hunter The first ever Abu Dhabi Tour arrives, thanks to the good people at Velon. To attract such big names, at this time of the year, means that big money has been spent. I’m not a huge fan of cycling in this area, due to the lack of cycling fans. Riding in the desert…
