Lesser Known Race Results 2020

[Robert5091]

I see Scandinavia's Riwal Readynez team (4 Danes, 2 Norwegians and 1 Swede) are racing Giro de Sicilia.

Norwegian Krister Hagen successfully caught the right breakaway in the early part of the race on today’s first stage of Giro di Sicilia. But with a peloton of hungry sprinters, the gap never got big enough to chase the win in the end.

“Good day with Krister at the front”, says directeur sportif Michael Skelde. “Unfortunately, he never really got the gap he needed to win, so we ended the stage without a result. But we’re visible and we’re seeking our chances.”

Having good legs, Krister left behind his breakaway companions over the mountaintop 55 km from the finish and continued on his own.

Hagen had some minor success last year in Portugal when it was 45C.

Stage 2 today - Capo d’orlando to Palermo 236 km (long day)
Stage 2 starts at 10:30am CET (4:30am U.S. Eastern)

Finish at around 4:26pm CET (10:26am U.S. Eastern)

Live video from 2:50pm CET (8:50am U.S. Eastern)

With the last 30 km flat, a sprint finish seems likely - unless the break gets it.

For a very much lesser known race.

Maral-erdene Batmunkh just won stage 4 of the The Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn's Cup (aka Tour of Thailand). According to PCS, possibly the first pro-win (sans national championships) by a Mongolian rider.

But Jamsran Ulzii-Orshikh won a couple of stages in 2.2 races (Indonesia and Siam) in 2006, according to PCS?

.2 races are not considered pro.

Nice weather down in Sicily.
Or is it 'on Sicily'?

 

[Robert5091]

Nice? Looks pretty wet/foggy to me! (in/on ? both right I'd say)

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bunch sprint
Manuel Belletti (Androni) wins

 

[DNP-Old]

Holy ***, UAE and Israel needs some lead-out training. What the hell were the doing? Sbaragli was already starting the sprint for Minali with 1k to go and Ferrari was done with 500 to go, leaving Molano exposed to the wind.

Filosi once again mad at other riders for no reason.

Well, that was a strange bike change…

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Happy I'm not holidaying on Sicily this week.

 

[Laplaz]

McNulty has this.

 

[Sestriere]

Re:

He looks very strong indeed.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Re:

if he stays on......

 

[SafeBet]

First (of many) pro wins for the young McNulty.
And they didn't know in the group behind

Re:

Good result for Totò after that fall. Really don't understand why he's not with one of the PCT squads, probably doesn't have his personal sponsors?

 

[Robert5091]

The 24th Route Adélie de Vitré over 197.8 km was won by FDJ's Marc Sarreau in a sprint finish -
1 SARREAU Marc GROUPAMA-FDJ en 4h52'43''
2 * WELTEN Bram TEAM ARKEA-SAMSIC MT
3 VENTURINI Clément AG2R LA MONDIALE MT
4 * SOTO MARTINEZ Nelson Andres CAJA RURAL-SEGUROS RGA 1
5 GROSU Eduard Michael DELKO MARSEILLE PROVENCE MT
6 * BARBIER Pierre NATURA4EVER-ROUBAIX-LILLE METROPOLE 3
7 * TAMINIAUX Lionel WALLONIE BRUXELLES MT
8 * BOUDAT Thomas DIRECT ENERGIE MT
9 FEILLU Romain ST MICHEL-AUBER 93 MT
10 SIMON Julien COFIDIS, SOLUTIONS CREDITS MT

My tip, Madouas, jumped off the front with about 28 km to go but got caught and became part of the sprint train for Sarreau. Not lumpy enough for Madouas probably.

 

[barmaher]

Sarreau is having a blast this spring.

Too old and too clinicy in the past.
