By David Hunter Orihuela – Xorret del Cati 141.3km It’s been a big week of racing, with stages in Dubai and Spain. Forget about the rest, this is the best stage of the week. It might even be one of the best of the year. The reason? Xorret de Cati and 4km at 11%! Greg Henderson…

Tour de France 2015 – Stage 4 Preview
By David Hunter Seraing-Cambrai 223.5km First thing to note is the length of the stage. At 223.5km, it is getting close to Classic length. It’s not quite there, but this is going to take it out of the riders, especially after two crazy days.
