Lerma > Lagunas 169.7km After today’s breakaway win, we head to the mountains and a big finish on Lagunas de Neila. Will it be another day for the break, or will the GC riders want a stage win? Weather Around 30 degrees, but not as sunny as previous days. The Climb It’s a climb most...
2022 Vuelta a Burgos Stage 4 Preview
Torresandino > Clunia 168.4km The fourth stage in Burgos should be one for the puncheurs. It’s been a while since this finish was used, last time was 2019 and Alex Aranburu took the win. I’ve a memory of Jens Keukeleire smashing this finish way back in 2013, on way to winning two stages of the...

2022 Tour of Poland Stage 5 Preview
Lancut > Rzeszów 178.4km Today was a little bit of a weird one. We had a crazy start, with GC riders attacking and trying to put Bora under pressure. Then it settled down, with the rest of the stage being ridden at a steady tempo, including the last two climbs. This stage is the last...
