Lesser Known Race Results 2020

[tobydawq]

Gabriel Cullaigh - the dude who followed Niki Terpstra's cobbled attack in Le Samyn as if it was a between intervals cooldown - won the stage of the small Portuguese Volta ao Alentejo race.

This race also has Beñat Intxausti in it but he lost 8 minutes and finished in the last three-man group on the second stage. It really does not seem like he will ever get back.

MvdP jumped from the peloton to the breakaway group with 35km to go.

Peloton now in full pursuit with Roompot mainly doing all the work

 

[Tonton]

Moncassin and Freuler in the same team .

I just tuned in too late. How big was the gap he had to bridge?

Also, what finish is this? Roompot riding for Boom, but i don't know in what universe he would drop Mathieu or beat him in a sprint.

Lars Boom has to be the weirdest rider to ever exist. One moment you feel like he can take on the world, the next he is getting dropped by Sarreau like he's an amateur.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

The race is probably too boring for the TV team, and there is not much else to see so they decide to film a large parkinglot.

I think Mathieu should stop riding, the gap is closing.

Re:

Mathieu will always ride no matter what, he prefers fun over waiting. Besides he's done this before. Just attacking without success, but then casually winning the sprint against Bouhanni in Limburg and most notably the national championships.

 

[DNP-Old]

Mathieu is unleashed.

I know his attitude, but he was doing most of the work. He should manage his efforts. He won't be able to finish it off every time if he keeps waisting energy...

Now he's gone solo, this is more interesting.

I'm thinking of making Mathieu my 5 star favorite for Gent - Wevelgem next week. That said, I think he made a big mistake not going for Roubaix.

 

[Tonton]

Fantastic MvdP! Bravo!

 

[tobydawq]

It looks like it was a little bit hard for him.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So... still interested to know what Roompot 's plan was.

Moschetti 4th - excellent

So how strong was Mathieu today? Really cant wait for the real classics with those 2 guys.

Edit: He doesnt seem to have E-3 or Roubaix on the schedule, damn

I still think this is a good call. Not saying he'd be useless at PR, but i think he's a better fit for Amstel even. So, if he had to cut into the program, i think he made the right call. Probably next year though.

Yeah, he should be better suited to Amstel.

 

[jaylew]

Nah, I think he's perfectly suited to Roubaix.

 

[Tonton]

Offredo took a big tumble on the cobbles and was air-lifted with serious neck/vertebrae injuries. Fingers crossed.

 

[RedheadDane]

Might just be me being my usually silly self, but I think Wallonie-Bruxelles missed out on a great opportunity here.

Re:

I feel like you should have ridden it a couple of times before though to really be able to challenge. I might be wrong though...
