Niederanven > Niederanven 26.3km ITT A long ITT awaits the riders in Tour de Luxembourg, a decisive day in terms of the GC.

Mertert > Vianden 170km Day 3 in Luxembourg is one of two big GC days, the other being the ITT on Saturday. This stage was in the race last in 2023, Ben Healy won that day after he got away with Marc Hirschi and Dylan Teuns. By the end, Healy won by 15s, the group...

Remich > Mamer 168km Stage 2 is one for the sprinters, their only proper chance of the week, but before I get to that time to advertise next year. The pricing plan for 2026 is £60 for the full year, £40 before the Giro, £30 before the Tour and then £15 before the Vuelta. If...

Dison > Citadelle de Namur 189km The Vuelta is now over, and the end of the season is fast approaching, so it’s time to enjoy every last drop of cycling as you know you’re going to miss it during the winter. This is the 65th edition of the race and the organisers have stuck with the...

Luxembourg > Luxembourg 153km The opening stage of the race is very similar to last year’s, back then it was Van der Poel winning the uphill sprint from Laporte, with Kron in 3rd place. GC riders need to be careful to finish high up and avoid being caught out by any splits.

This is my type of race; the stages are full of short/steep climbs and most of the “big” names aren’t here. We have three punchy stages, one sprint stage and a demanding ITT, to win this race you have to be good on your TT bike.

Montréal > Montréal 214km After what happened on Friday, most will be really looking forward to this race, it’s one that UAE have dominated in recent years, winning the last 3 editions. It’s the usual circuit, 17 laps add up to a huge amount of climbing making it too hard for even the best climbing...

Alalpardo > Madrid 97km The final stage of the Vuelta, it should be one more chance for the sprinters. 

Robledo de Chavela > Bola del Mundo 161km The battle for the red jersey comes down to this, it feels like a long time since the top 2 on GC were only 44 seconds apart heading into the final mountain stage of a grand tour. The stage ends with the climb, La Bola del Mundo,...

Rueda > Guijuelo 162km To sprint or not to sprint, that is the question.
