By David Hunter Cluses – Saint Vulbas 186km Sprint stage. Thanks to the prologue, we have Tinkoff to control the stage for the yellow jersey. They will ensure the break only gets a small gap and then the teams of the sprinters will take over.
By David Hunter La Chaux de Fonds – Moudon 166.9km After the short prologue, the racing really begins.
By David Hunter Riva – Torbole 12.1km The race starts with a short TTT.
By David Hunter Calella – Calella 175.8km The race begins with a tough day in the saddle, no gentle start to this race.
By David Hunter Lido di Camaiore 22.7km TTT The race begins with a flat TTT beside the sea. This length of TTT means that only a few teams will be able to win and it should be the usual suspects!
By David Hunter Conflans Sainte Honorine 6.1km This is a day for the power riders. Very little braking, it’s full gas all the way. Many riders will have been training for this, by doing 5 minute power tests. These are not fun!
By David Hunter Dubai – Fujairah 179km The race begins with a potentially hazardous trip through the desert. It’s the first time the race has travelled the whole stretch between Dubai and Fujairah. If the wind blows, this could create havoc.
By David Hunter Prospect – Lyndoch 130.8km The race starts with a sprint stage through the Barossa Valley. The riders are used to riding here but the finish is new. The KOM point comes after just 12.8km, so getting in the early move will ensure a visit to the podium. Most teams would welcome this, so…
By David Hunter El Durazno – El Durazno – 21km TTT The organisers have decided to change things up a little in 2016 and introduced the first ever TTT for the event. An interesting choice, which will please quite a few of the climbers.
By David Hunter It always seemed a strange decision to start the race with such a short TTT, but now the route has been revealed, it looks a crazy decision. Cities/Towns pay a lot of money to host the start of a grand tour, mainly due to the financial benefits of hosting all the teams, riders…
By David Hunter Bolsward – Bolsward 183.5km The race begins with a circuit around the Dutch coastline. Any type of wind is dangerous, but the forecast looks like being kind. There is a small wind, coming from the south, not really enough to cause any damage. This should be a big, bunch sprint. With plenty of…
By David Hunter Utrecht – Utrecht 13.8km ITT No prologue, no road stage, we are straight into a TT. At 13.8km, it’s long enough for some proper gaps and the winner could win by around 5 seconds. The route is technical, with a lot of corners to be covered. Despite the corners, we do have opportunities…
By David Hunter Risch Rotkruez – Risch Rotkreuz 161.1km There is no messing about in the Tour de Suisse! The first road stage and bam, straight into some hard racing. The stage looks very hard and it’s going to rain, making it a challenging start to the race.
By David Hunter Ugine – Albertville 131.5km The race begins with a demanding day in the saddle. The stage is short but the lap circuit, in Albertville, will ensure plenty of attacking.
By David Hunter San Lorenzo – Mare Sanremo 17.6km TTT The opening stage of the Giro is upon us, and like last year, it’s a TTT. Most of the stage is completed on a narrow cycle path, so it’s vital to have an organised team. The 2014 TTT was won by Orica and they start the…
By David Hunter Vallee de Joux – Juraparc 19.2km The race begins with a very easy TTT. 3 corners in 19.2km is the least technical course, I think I’ve ever seen! We don’t have a lot of wind, but it is going to be a cross/headwind. It’s going to rain too, expect more of this throughout…
By David Hunter Riva del Garda – Arco 13.3km TTT The race begins with a short, TTT.
