Lesser Known Race Results 2017

[Popchu]

Bernal, Carapaz: nice to see them!

 

[Brullnux]

It's jokes that Cattaneo has now turned into a top quality puncheur

 

[Popchu]

Yates, Uran, Bernal, Carapaz, Cattaneo and Clarke. 11K to go.

 

[Popchu]

Yates wins. Carapaz way too early.

 

[DNP-Old]

Richie so close.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Team Cannonfail strikes again.

Re:

He could've won this if he timed his sprint better I think. But very good performance, first time I see him live and he didn't disappoint to say the least.

Re:

Yes, at least Androni tried to play the numbers game.
That was a good race, but the Italian commentators weren't exactly great.
Strong showing by Androni, 2 riders in the top 5 and Gavazzi won the reduced bunch sprint for behind them.

Richie 2nd? Bernal 5th?

Can anybody help me understand the situation in DDWV? Who's in front?

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Guillaume Van Keirsbulck looking good for another one.

 

[yaco]

Though A.Yates had he race won with 10kms to go - Interesting to see how he performs at Tirreno Adriatico.

 

[dlwssonic]

Dillier has been so strong. Most of the time in service to GVA.

Clássica da Arrábida (1.2)

1 Amaro Antunes (W52-FC Porto)
2 Sérgio Paulinho (Efapel)

A rollercoaster through Serra da Arrabida south of Lisbon. Logan Owen of Axeon Hagens Berman again with a promising and strong showing. He won four out of five GPMs from a small group.

The last 2,5k were uphill with a gradient of 7,5%. It started with the 1,4k long Estrada da Cobra which is on quite rough sterrato, followed by a short section of old cobbles in Palmela. Antunes attacked hard on the sterrato and was able to get another victory.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Van Emdem and Dillier ought to make a pretty powerful two man time trial outfit to hold their lead

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Good try at a chase down by Hansen: Dillier not willing to accept consolation from his break companion.

 

[RedheadDane]

Just out of curiosity, which Hansen? It's DDWV we're talking about, right? So I assume it isn't Jesper; not really a classic guy. And is Astana even in this race?
Adam?

 

[SafeBet]

Lasse Norman Hansen

 

[RedheadDane]

Oh, okay. I know I'm a bit obsessed with this, but this is kinda like with Cort and Valgren, just call him Norman, then everyone knows who it is.

just watched the highlights of GP Industria & Artigianato-- damn you Rigo!!! WTF is wrong with you? What kind of sprint was that? - I mean- good for Yates, but-damn- Rigo is riding for Cannondale-not for Orica!!

Yes, at least Androni send Bernal on the attack twice while Cattaneo was waiting for the sprint. Carapaz was really strong, he started the sprint way too early and still finished 2nd.
Mühlberger finished 12th, that's a good result for him but maybe Bora should have send one of their riders on the attack, they had 3 guys in the top 20 and Benedetti was just a bit behind with Nibali and Foliforov.

 

[Escarabajo]

LOL at the sprint by Uran. He moves more sideways that forward!!!!!

 

[Max Rockatansky]

I'm really starting to like it.
