By David Hunter Ghent – Ghent 200.8km For the traditionalists, this still marks the beginning of the season. I’m not one of them! What it does start is the gruelling races of the north. Time to get ready for cobbles, helling, wind, rain and crashes.
By David Hunter After a sensational race in 2015, this year’s edition is little less action packed. We have 1 stage for sprinters, 2 for puncheurs, 1 for TT riders and 1 for climbers. With good weather usually ensured, it’s a nice 5 days for the riders as they looked to get some kilometres in the…
By David Hunter It’s the 42nd edition of the race and the field is as strong as I can remember. With many teams shunning Oman, the organisers have certainly benefited. The field contains previous winners Thomas, Kwiatkowski, Tony Martin and Alberto Contador. This looks like being one of the best races in it’s history. Stage 1
By David Hunter We have one final race in the middle east, before the peloton heads back to Europe. It’s the 7th edition of the Tour, possibly the last. The organisers have really stepped it up and delivered the most challenging race, in it’s short history.
By David Hunter Laigueglia – Laigueglia 180km Considering this is 1.HC race, the startlist is very weak. Last year was a bumper year, with BMC, Cannondale, Katusha, Team Colombia and Europcar all adding to the usual bunch of Italian teams. None of these teams are back for 2016 and the race will suffer as a result.
By David Hunter Desert racing is back, but sadly a lot of teams didn’t get the memo! There will be no Etixx, Sky, Trek, Lotto and Tinkoff. Such a shame that the teams that love echelon riding have decided to skip the race. It certainly won’t be as good as in previous years. The race has…
By David Hunter A race that disappeared from the calendar since 2008 is back! So good to see some more racing in Spain. The race consists of 5 stages: 1 ITT and 4 road stages. This is going to be a demanding week, with not much to interest the pure sprinters. Stage 1
By David Hunter We are ready for the 3rd edition of the Dubai Tour, as the professional peloton begin three weeks in the desert sun.
