Lesser Known Race Results 2020

[BalearicBeats]

Venturini wins the second stage by finding space where there wasn't any.

 

[BalearicBeats]

Venturini relegated now, which seems somewhat ridiculous to me

 

[yaco]

Venturini took his hands off the handlebars to push Van Asbroeck out of the way - This was a far worse offence then Viviani.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Man, sucks that the Quatre Jours, which almost always delivers, is relegated to this thread

 

[RedheadDane]

Then make the thread.
I didn't because I don't know how to find the necessary information.

Groenewegen again. This is just beginning to look like playtime for him

 

[sir fly]

Groenewegen head and shoulders above the rest.
Not just three in a row, but also the margins.

vs no opposition

 

[Nirvana]

He saw Demare in Poitou Charente last year and wants to emulate him.

 

[Anderis]

Is there any stage where they can drop him or is he going to win the GC?

Preparing to turn the dictatorship into tyranny when the time comes.

Well, he got beaten yesterday...

That's why it's still only a dictatorship.
What's up, Flo? Low activity lately.

 

[RedheadDane]

I almost forgot yesterday; the most important part of this race:
The Battle of the Barbiers!
Once again won by Pierre, this time by a huge margin, as he was 31st, just 6 seconds after Groenewegen, whereas Rudy was 110th, 5:34 after.

 

[RedheadDane]

Coquard breaks Groenewegen's streak, and wins stage 4.

 

[tobydawq]

But did Pierre continue his thumping of Rudy?

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like it. Seems like Rudy hasn't even finished yet.

And just to add the other "brother battles"

Turgis:
Anthony 4/Jimmy 0 (DNF stage 2)

Planckaert:
Baptiste 4/Edward 0

These brothers aren't very good at sharing.

I haven't been able to log in on mobile for ages and on desktop I get kicked out after a couple page clicks.

What's up with Greipel? Just finished as a top level sprinter?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good man, Bryan. A very nice win.

And now for the Cassel stage.

Persist, Flo.
No pain no gain.

I think like happened to many sprinters at some point in their career he has lost the will to battle for a sprint, he always disappear in the final kilometers, but probably he could still recycle himself and try for some classics, this year his best performances were at Kuurne (he was in the select 20 men lead group that come out of the hard section) and in the wind at Paris-Nice (he was active on the front in the echelons) so he's not done at all and in the past he has showed multiple time that he has some classics potential.

 

[RedheadDane]

Teunissen won stage 5.
Update on the "Brother Battles" will follow.

 

[tobydawq]

This was Jumbo-Vismas 18th win of the season. But except for the TTT in UAE, it was the first time that a different rider than Roglic or Groenewegen won.

 

[RedheadDane]

Right, looks like Rudy got the "showel under" Pierre (that's not how you say it in English...)
With the other two pairs it's still one brother winning it all, however.
