The peloton heads progressively southbound, with a mix of terrain along the way including a couple of sprint opportunities, rolling days, tough mountain finishes and even a team time trial to contend with.

The “Race Between the Two Seas” takes on a traditional route, starting on the west coast of Italy before making its way over to the east; with the usual variety of sprint stages, mountain days and a time trial.

Taking place on a lap circuit around Oetingen, the main obstacle of the day is the cobbles and kicker of Bergstraat – which the attackers will no doubt use as they look to disrupt any possible sprint.

One of the older races on the Women’s calendar, Trofeo Alfredo Binda sees the peloton tackle a tricky and a hilly lap circuit where the puncheurs, climbers and resilient sprinters come to the fore.

Forming part of the U23 Road Series, our Development program will take on hilly “home roads” in the region of Limburg with our Keep Challenging Center located nearby the race route.

Packed with short punchy climbs and several cobble sections, Nokere Koerse normally ends in a reduced bunch sprint but there is plenty of challenging road for those who will hope to shake things up.

A race the team has good memories of, we should expect a hard day out with a battle over the cobbles and climbs, with the typical Belgian weather once again playing a role in the outcome.

Lending itself to the sprinters, the hills in the middle of the day normally see a regrouping before a mass dash to the line. That is of course unless the wind whips up, which can cause carnage in the region.

One of the more prominent one-day races on the U23 calendar, the race on paper should come down to a bunch sprint scenario but we have seen the late attackers take a march on the peloton before.

One of the five Monuments in cycling and the longest race on the calendar, Milano – Sanremo slowly builds to a crescendo throughout the day as they charge towards the famous Poggio finale.

Part of the U23 Road Series, the Wim Hendriks Trofee offers our Development program riders a chance to test themselves against the very best in their age group on the cobbles.

Now into it's second edition of the race, the peloton will make its way towards the sea before it follows along the coast and over the famous climbs; before a battle into Sanremo.

More one-day racing in Belgium hosts a route that traditionally ends in a sprint finish but like most races in the area, a lot depends on the weather conditions as the exposed roads can cause crosswind chaos.

A new and revamped route for the race, sees it start and finish in the city of Brugges and what should be a bunch sprint. That is of course unless the wind blows on the exposed sections.

A race that is on paper one for the fast women of the peloton due to the flat route, the outcome of the race though like always will depend on the attitude of the peloton and the weather.

Famously named after an old collection of European motorways that connected Lisbon to Stockholm, and which ran close to the start and finish town of Harelbeke, expect this “mini-Flanders” to be exciting.

Backloaded with climbs and cobbles; the direction of the wind on the journey back to Wevelgem often decides how big of a group approaches the finish and the type of rider that will compete in the final.

A battle between the classics stars and versatile sprinters is to be expected, as those looking to make the day hard will have to use the climbs and the cobbles to distance those with a fast finish.
