    Lesser known races 2025 edition

    I'm not on the road, so I can't judge for sure but this looks like a decent surface from the TV pictures, so I have no idea what they are doing.

    Are they racing any more or just riding together to the finish line?

    Il Lombardia 2024, one day monument, October 12, farewell to Domenico Pozzovivo

    Will it rain on Saturday? If so, they might as well just cancel it now to save time.

    Teams & Riders The "MVP" Mathieu Van der Poel Road Discussion Thread

    Does it really matter? I doubt that Skujins would have gotten the same latitude if he was the one caught on tv riding on the pavement.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2024: Stage 19: Embrun - Isola 2000, 19/07 144.6k

    Robbie McEwen is using Martin as an example of how good riders in the WT can descend even when they aren't seen as the best. I think that he forgot about Zakarin who probably could have been beat on a descent by a kid on a tricycle.

    Giro d'Italia Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 19: Mortegliano - Sappada, 157k

    There better be a formal complaint about the dangerous race conditions that led to Thomas' crash. Someone from RCS needs to be fired over that.

    Giro d’Italia 2024, Stage 16: Livigno – Santa Cristina Valgardena/Sankt Christina in Gröden (Monte Pana), 202.0k 206.0k

    The Giro is over except for the race for extra spots on the podium. They might as well just cancel today's stage and hope for better weather tomorrow. The logistical challenges will make it nearly impossible to make this work.

    Gap is tumbling down to 3:22. Pog must be in trouble now

    Strade Bianche 2024, March 2, one-day classic (men's)

    Next year, the distance will be up to 300K. Pog will attack and go solo with about 120k to go.

    At least Bardet got bored and decided to do something

    The race right now is one rider from Ineos versus Pogacar. The gap keeps going out, so brilliant riding from the peloton.

    Strade Bianche 2024, March 2, one-day classic (men's)

    Jens Voigt has the worst job today. I would not enjoy riding on the back of a motorcycle in the rain on gravel.

    Anyone know what happened to Alaphil Anyone know what happened? My eyes aren't very good, but I thought that I saw him from one of the helicopter shots. I must have confused him with someone else from SQS.

    Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2024, February 24, one-day classic (men's)

    I hope that someone completely unexpected from the 2nd peloton wins this after hearing non-stop about Visma all day.

    Why the other 3 riders are helping Visma makes no sense to me.
