By David Hunter The riders head to London for the 3rd running of this race. Like the other editions, we have a challenging middle section with some short, steep climbs. The only problem for the punchers is the 50km run to home. Both editions of the race have ended in sprint finishes with Cavendish winning…
By David Hunter Stage 5 Recap Jens Voigt got in the break and did all he could to take one last stage win, but he failed! The dirt roads provided some much needed excitement but didn’t prove to be decisive. Moreno Hofland quit the stage early on, so the American teams sensed the opportunity to…
By David Hunter Stage 6 Recap Yet again, Majka delivered. Oliver Zaugg did a great job for him and he attacked with 3km to go. Izagirre was the only one who could follow but he blew not long afterwards. Thankfully, Intxausti was going well and provided a wheel to follow. Majka continued on for the…

Movistar seemed to have got their tactics spot on, but when Capecchi jumped, his teammates didn’t follow. Intxausti, still managed to get in a good position and looked like he might take the win,…
By David Hunter Stage 3 Recap Sprint, as expected, and won by Hofland, as expected! Wackermann delivered the sprint I expected, in stage 1, to claim 2nd place. Easy when you’re the only sprinter in the race. Stage 4 Ogden – Powder Mountain 168.5km At last, some real action!
By David Hunter Stage 4 Recap We got the expected sprint as the sprint teams, eventually started to work well together. Ferrari opened up the sprint a touch too early, leaving Modolo to jump across to the wheel of Arndt. The Italian launched his sprint and all looked good, but he ran out of steam…
By David Hunter Stage 2 Recap My pick, Hofland, decided to take it easy with 1 eye on stage 3. We got a very gutsy break from Michael Schar of BMC. Despite cramping on the final descent, he somehow managed to keep the pedals moving and held off a charging peloton to take an excellent…
