  We have a big edition this first one because we have two tours to discuss and we kick off with the Vuelta a los Castillos tour:
  
  Stage results:
  
  Sagunto-Castillo de Sagunto: Stage number one is a tricky one. It is not a specialized stage really, flat road and technique the main stats. In the eight previous editions, it is only been won by riders from England, America and Czech Republic. This season it was won by Robert Thomas, followed by Tomás Belo and Melvyn Jégou.
  
  Sagunto-Castillo de Villamalefa, stage two, takes us into the mountains for the first time in this tour. The stage demands more climbing talent than downhill, but that did not stop Hal Terrell from winning. He broke away, even though he was injured!!! A superb performance from this sprinter. The first of the general classification contenders was Robert Thomas beating his rival Pétur Snælaugursson.
  
  The only real sprint stage is Villamalefa-Castellón, where the sprinting stat is really needed, and the flat road and technique stats are needed in equal measure. In the end it was the expected bunchsprint finish and the first to cross the finish line was Otto Beier narrowly beating his rivals Melvyn Jégou and Brian Hitchens.
  
  The fourth stage is the king mountain stage. La Vall d’Uixó - Morella is predominantly mountain climbs with some downhill sections. It also requires hill and technique stats. Robert Thomas had the honor of winning this stage. Next on the road was Pétur Snælaugursson, shortly followed by Frank Kint.
  
  The penultimate stage in the tour is a hill stage. The riders started at Morella and finished in Morella. Hill was the obvious stat needed, along with sprint and technique. Number one here was last season’s winner of this stage Anatoliy Michala. He beat young Frenchmen Léonard Le Gall and Robert Thomas.
  
  The last stage of this tour is the time trial. The stage is called Vinaròs - Castillo de Peñíscola (ITT) and it is thirty two kilometers long. Very flat, not very technical and of course a lot of time trial stat needed. The top 3 was formed by time trial riders this time around. Melvyn Jégou won the stage ahead of Prokhor Siyanskikh and Lewis Kane.

  After leaving the sunny scenery from Spain we head straight to the other tour that is starting. The temperature has dropped and rain is pouring down on us. We miss Spain already but we are in Wales where we witness the Cymru Taith.
  
  Stage results:
  
  Stage one, Welshpool-Bangor, is predominantly hills, with a strong combination of flat road and climbs. Your typical hill stage. Winner from the previous edition of this stage won it again. His name is Griswald Pepper. He beat first time entrant in this tour Sandro Montelbano and a good performance by Hunter Sawyer. They finished second and third respectively.
  
  Next was the king stage, called Newport ITT, where the 35km time trial has a number of hilly areas in equal measure to the flat road and technical areas. You would never have guessed who got first place, oh wait it’s that pesky Italian again Sandro Montelbano. The next fasted rider against the clock was a real surprise in the form of Wilfried Doderwinkel! An amazing performance by him. And another surprise was Estebe Pimental getting a well-deserved third place.
  
  Newport-Cardiff is the final stage in this seasons tour around Wales. It’s a flat, sprinters stage, with some technical parts at the end of the route. Sam Velasquez beat everyone in the bunch sprint to take a well-deserved win ahead of Danish time trial rider Alan Klostergård and Kristiaan Roels who got third in this same stage last season.
