Lesser Known Race Results 2016

[Geraint Too Fast]

'Moses' McLay

 

[BalearicBeats]

McLay spent maybe 2 seconds out of the saddle, everyone must have been dying though for him to do that manoeuvre!

 

[StryderHells]

That was one strange sprint from McLay

 

[DNP-Old]

That sprint doesn't make any sense.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Obvious motor is obvious

 

[BigMac]

The way he zig-zags through the pack... Feels like watching cartoon motor racing.

...quel technique!

Why not.

 

[Valv.Piti]

The most amazing sprint I have seen. Probably also the only...

 

[jens_attacks]

Funny as hell and very rare.
Right gear and headwind i guess.

Re:

Apparently McLay's brakes weren't working too. This might be the first time McLay's properly shown his sprint. His other pro win was a seated leadout and he accidentally won because he misjudged where the finish line was, I think.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Great bike handling. I don't think he was sprinting outrageously fast, just brave, skilled and well-timed when everyone else seemed to be dying.

Vuelta a Castilla y Leon today! Ridiculously poor field. Movistar the only WT team and Caja Rural, ONE, Stolting and Drapac the only pro conti teams. Congratulations Valverde!

Sad to think the late Antoine Demoitié won that race in 2014.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Also, Demoitié was the "other" rider along with Planckaert I had been saying was due a step up to ProConti at least based on his performances in those races, and was pleased that he finally got that chance - only for it to be exceedingly brief

Planckaert winning makes a mess of the most-top-10s-without-a-win game.

Planckaert and Fatancur winning races

... two miracles in 24 hours

Now there's a surprise. Movistar continue to curbstomp a bunch of Spanish third-tier teams.
