Lesser Known Race Results 2020

[DNP-Old]

Valverde is a man obsessed.

 

[Samamba]

That's a pretty strong break
Valverde, Wellens, Brambilla, Moscon & Muhlberger

Edit: Brambilla and Mulhberger are dropped apparently.

 

[DNP-Old]

Valverde dropping everyone.

 

[Samamba]

They all came back, except for Brambilla. Valverde looks the strongest though. I don't think anyone can beat him on that last hill.

Any stream for the race?

Re:

Nope.
There are extended highlights at night on Spanish tv, but no live broadcasting. The 2nd and 3rd trofeo deserves one though.

Re: Lesser Known Race Results 2018

Now Moscon, Wellens and Brambilla are ahead with Valverde and Mühlberger a bit behind. Great race apparently, but sadly no stream.

Contactan Valverde y Mühlberger! Pero...ataca con fuerza Valverde!!!

My Spanish isn't good enough. Does this mean that Valverde is back and attacked immediately?

EDIT: apparently it does!

Yes.

 

[Netserk]

So Valverde lost contact on the descent before he returned.

 

[Samamba]

On the top of the last hill: Valverde, Moscon & Wellens.

EDIT: Valverde dropped in the descent again, obviously not taking risks.

 

[Samamba]

Wellens wins it again! Moscon 2nd, Valverde 3rd.
Looking forward to the highlights!

 

[Netserk]

Hm, I thought Moscon would be able to outsprint Wellens. Perhaps it was because of a lack of knowledge of the final? Or maybe Wellens was just the strongest rider today

Yeah, i thought that too, but Wellens can be pretty fast too after a hard race. And like you said, he knows the final.

4 Austrians in the top 10, WTF?!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Sponsor of Valverde's most combative rider award have set the bar low in their expectations of their service: OK rent a car.

Possibly a partner company to NotTotallyCrap Airlines.

How cool is that?

Konrad being the oldest of the four, at 26.

Every rider on the Burgos team crashed and abandoned.
What a way to start the season...

Did one incident take them down as a group or did they manage it separately?

At least 2 crashed solo. So either separately or some crashed more than once.

It was very wet and dangerous. Even Valverde let Moscon and Wellens go on the last descent.

For those who are interested in the highlights of todays Trofeo.
Valverde was the strongest uphill but couldn't drop Wellens and Moscon, who took more risk in the descent. Wellens used his experience in the sprint.

^^ That background music deserves some props

 

[jaylew]

Wellens won on an wet day? Shocking.
