Lesser Known Race Results 2020

Dwars door het Hageland live on Sporza as we speak. Most interesting thing here is probably Simmons, who used to do insane gravel races in the States, like the Leadville 100, against full time pros and given his recent form in Poland he should be up there.

Haven't seen him near the front yet. EDIT: just spotted him near the back.

also on French ES2

Simmons showing some motivation.

 

[Kaptain Kool]

Why would Quinn Simmons be the most interesting thing? The most interesting thing is that Dwars door het Hageland is a super-sweet race that relieves us of the Dauphine dullfest. Thank you Duracell, Bingoal and whoever else is giving us this race!

But I can't watch it, so... what's going on?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

First Eekhoff showing since not winning last year's Worlds U23s

Eekhoff/Rickaert

decent size group including Steimle, Eenkhoorn, Warlop @ 40 secs and losing time

peloton @ 1:15

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Simmons not great either it seems. Rickaert has been the strongest so far, but Eekhoff is pretty fast, no?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Rickaert solo.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Eekhoff came back

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Rickaert drops Eekhof on the Citadel climb, in the final 1k.

 

[DNP-Old]

Very fun race.

 

[BlueRoads]

No win for Álvaro

Quite a nice course Dwars door het Hageland and entertaining racing.

And meanwhile, the Italian with the German-sounding surname, Luca Wackermann, wins in Limousin.

(Imagine Ackermann and Wackermann in a finale together.)

 

[DNP-Old]

T.b.d. whether he had a mechnical or something, but Gaudu just dropped hard from a rather large peloton in Limousin, while Gaviria was attacking..

 

[DNP-Old]

That was really impressive from Gaviria, what a victory. Though Suter could have done that a bit smarter.

Madiot might have to rethink some things.

Still his stomach problems? Or just lacking training by now?

Mais pas David Gaudu, un peu court dans l’ultime bosse. « Il était forcément frustré, expliquait Franck Pineau. Mais il est avant tout là pour refaire ses gammes. On ne l’attend pas à Nice mais en dernière semaine du Tour. Hier, il avait un peu de jus il en était lui-même agréablement surpris. Il était moins bien aujourd’hui, mais rappelons qu’il revient à peine de maladie. Il n’a pas roulé pendant quasiment 10 jours, c’est donc normal de passer par là. Il était vexé d’être décroché mais c’est son égo de champion qui ressort. Ce serait plutôt étonnant qu’il ne soit pas en colère. Le jour où il n’aura plus cette réaction, ce ne sera plus David Gaudu ! Il n’y aucune panique à son sujet. Dès demain, il sera mieux ».

Okay, does not sound too great, but as most teams are not what they could be right now, maybe it's going to be okay.

 

[Anderis]

20 y.o. Jake Stewart showed himself nicely at Tour du Lumousin. A WT contract in 2021?

 

[RedheadDane]

Fedeli wins the last stage in Limousin.
Wackermann takes the overall.

 

[BalearicBeats]

Nice performance by Joel Suter, looked like a strong sprint
