Figueira Champions Classic - Casino Figueira 2026 (Feb 14)

[Tim Cahill]

Not convincing me so far this season Lidl, their best rider is out and Milan will be fine as usual but in other races their performance has been average with the calibre of riders. RB, UAE, Decathlon, Astana and maybe Ineos have got it right so far.

Derek Gee will have to go and get them something.

Widar has no stress for this relative unimportant race, so he'll be good. i think he wins

There's not really a scenario where he can win this. He doesn't have the best sprint in front and he can't really ride on his own.

And it's looking like it's gonna be for the peloton in the end anyways

Widar & Finn!

Finn wasn't in the bunch. I think you mistook him for Etxeberria.

 

[Cycling111]

Yeah its bad 2 laps in a row at the same spot 100%, disgraceful, BUT he's still insanely strong.

When you have the moto in front like this strength doesn't matter so much. It's been very clear how the bike has helped that group open up a gap with the peloton.

 

[Samamba]

When does the last climb start. McNulty just needs to bring them to the foot with a few seconds and then Morgado or a group can get clear.

He looked like Finn on my dodgy stream, but I have no idea how Etxeberria looks so maybe it's somewhat similar. You're probably right

Widar will go and drop everyone

 

[Samamba]

Lot's of teams working in peloton now. Movistar and Tudor joined.

 

[Salvarani]

The Bora rider had 23 on the climb

 

[Samamba]

Break will be caught before last climb I think, but someone could still go clear there, it's a tailwind till th efinish I think

 

[tobydawq]

It was number 23 (I wouldn't have been able to tell if I didn't see the number). Tratnik was the third Red Bull rider.

 

[Samamba]

Those guys in the break are all fresh so

 

[Tim Cahill]

They all fall in the 'quite fast in a reduced bunch I think' category

 

[Samamba]

Great race tho, very exciting.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Walmart Pogacar hasn't looked around once all day, insane performance

 

[Samamba]

Morgado should really be able to finish this off.

 

[Salvarani]

McNulty too strong

 

[Tim Cahill]

VAMOS ALEX, DO HIM ON THE ROUNDABOUT

 

[Salvarani]

Cmon Aranburu

 

[Samamba]

Aranburu could actually beat Morgado here

 

[tobydawq]

Jesper Worre is shocked that the two on paper fastest guys have an explosive jump on the hill...

 

[Samamba]

Technically Aranburu is faster I think, but not sure at all

Yeah what did people expect lmao? Way too short and explosive for someone like Widar or another more climby type
