By David Hunter Istanbul – Istanbul 143.7km The race ends with a cracking finish in Istanbul.
By David Hunter Vila Real – Sagunt 204.4km This screams transitional stage to me.
By David Hunter Riemst – Houffalize 203.7km The longest stage of the race and I think the hardest, despite the Muur coming up on Sunday.
By David Hunter Locarno – La Punt Chamues-ch 166.7km After a rather dull stage, this is much more exciting day.
By David Hunter Le Parc Des Oiseaux Villars Les Dombes – La Motte Servolex 147.5km It’s time for some fun.
By David Hunter Reggio Calabria – Terme Luigiane 217km Another day for a nice cycle along the coast.
By David Hunter Tortosa – Reus 190km After a big shake up on GC, we have another day where we could see some movement.
By David Hunter Civitanova Marche – Ascoli Piceno 159km After a crazy weekend, the peloton will be looking forward to a quieter day in the saddle.
By David Hunter Aubagne – Fayence 193.5km After some gruelling stages, we have reached the mountains. It’s time for the GC riders to shine. The last time we were here, Carlos Betancur took a wonderful win. Will a similar rider take the win this year?
By David Hunter Riemst – Lanaken 185.2km After a fairly conclusive TTT, the Eneco Tour heads for the hills.
By David Hunter Monforte de Lemos – Luintra. Ribeira Sacra 163.2km Another stage with nearly 3000m of climbing, it’s not getting any easier!
By David Hunter Weesen – Amden 162.8km Day 2 in the mountains. The riders are faced with another day full of climbing.
By David Hunter La Rochette – Meribel 141km GC battle, round 2! If today wasn’t enough for you, we have another cracking stage ahead.
By David Hunter Ponte – Roccaraso 157km The first mountaintop finish of the race. It’s early in the race, which means it won’t necessarily be a GC battle.
By David Hunter Saint Joan Despi – Vilanova i la Geltru 197.2km The longest stage of the race.
By David Hunter Castelraimondo – Cepagatti 216km After the cancellation of the Queen stage, this seemingly innocent looking stage will see some fierce fighting. I’ll cut straight to the chase, the need for bonus seconds will kill the hopes of any breakaway rider. This is all about the last 30km.
By David Hunter Nice – La Madone d’Utelle 177km Time to see if Michael Matthews can win this race!
