Padrón > A Coruña 121km Another day of carnage at the Vuelta, Vos was DNS and race leader Rüegg was DNF. In the final sprint, Bossuyt took a brilliant win, but Kopecky wasn’t best pleased with her, but I don’t think there was anything to complain about. Will the chaos continue in stage 3?

Lobios > San Cibrao das Viñas 110km After the chaos of the 1st stage, hopefully things will settle down a little from now on, but I doubt it. Stage 2 starts with a lot of unclassified climbs, but I can’t see a strong break getting away from the peloton. It should be a sprint finish, but...

Lucens > Leysin 183km The final stage in Romandie and a chance for Pogačar to win his 4th stage of the week, he’s won 7 out of 10 races this year, a quite staggering statistic. Lipowitz did really well today to limit his losses, he looks secure in 2nd place, 3rd place is where the fight should be.

Ankara > Ankara 105km A big moment for the Tour of Türkiye as it returns to the capital for the first time since 1999. I’m assuming the riders hoped on a plane up from Antalya but spare a thought for those who had to endure the 7-hour drive. The GC is still not settled, just...

Marín > Salvaterra de Miño 114km The Vuelta kicks off with a sprint stage. 

Broc > Charmey 149km The Queen stage in Romandie, is it time for the Pogačar show?

Antalya > Antalya 153km The GC is far from over, but it’s time for the sprinters to have another opportunity. I can bet there’s at least one sprinter delighted by a lack of hills in this stage, Simon Dehair will be a happy boy.

Eschborn > Frankfurt am Main 211km The 63rd edition of the German race. The organisers have tried to make it a little harder this year, 210km and almost 3400m will certainly test the legs of most.

Orbe > Orbe 176km Reduced sprint, breakaway or GC attacks? My gut says breakaway day.

Antayla > Feslikan 128km Casper van Uden, you are a very naught boy! Time to see who’s going to win the Tour of Türkiye. In the red corner, we’ve got Iván Sosa. In the blue corner, we’ve got Seb Berwick, in there’s also a group of 3 Astana riders looking to get into the mix....
