By David Hunter The racing returns to Switzerland, for the last “big” race, before the TDF. We have the usual mix of demanding sprint stages, high mountains and TTs. The race is dominated by a monster mountaintop finish and a 38.4km ITT. You must be a good TT rider to win this race. The opening stage…
By David Hunter A week has passed since the Giro and now it’s just 4 weeks until the Tour de France. This represents a last “hit-out” for many of the top contenders for Le Tour. The organisers have decided to rip up the rulebook and completely change the route of the course. The reason, is that…
By David Hunter At last, it’s here. The first Grand Tour of 2015 and Italy always provides us with a brilliant race. This year, we have 5 mountaintop finishes, a TTT and a mammoth ITT, at 59.4km. Week 1 The opening week will be nervous and full of crashes. Staying in Italy, provides less travelling and…
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…

The opening stage is the easiest of the race. That being said, it’s still not that easy. The final climb is 4.3km at 8.6%….

By David Hunter The pro peloton returns to Spain after a few weeks away. This race is not one for the pure sprinters. Every stage involves classified climbs and it’s a very well liked race. It’s the adopted home race of many riders, thanks to the huge numbers that stay in Girona. The opening stage is…
By David Hunter Everyone loves Tirreno. This year we have Contador, Quintana, Nibali, Urán and Rodríguez. A jaw dropping field. Well we would have but Froome has pulled out due to illness. A real shame for all concerned. The race opens with a 5.4km prologue, after a last minute change of heart. The prologue specialists won’t have…
