Lesser Known Race Results 2020

[tobydawq]

If I'm not mistaken, I seem to remember that Dylan Kennett's dad was a poster on this forum a while back.

I hope it wasn't Jancouver or Pisti.

He got the win today.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah, just saw. Decided to mix it up a little.

"Nice" weather in the Netherlands.
Just over 30 Ks to go in the Tacx Pro Classic, two-man break at around 30 seconds.

 

[RedheadDane]

Groenewegen takes it ahead of Viviani.

And that is the end of my one-man show.

Are there any televised road races left for the year?

Guangxi, if you don't mind getting up a bit early. And yeah, I'm totally lumping it in with the "lesser known races".

Is it televised? It hasn't been the first two years.

It's listed on Danish television, and I'm assuming it's not some sort of exclusive "only in Denmark" thing.

just checked and it is not scheduled on the ES Player.

Maybe other local channels.
Maybe it's actually just Danish TV2 going out there and filming on their own.

Decent time here in Australia if they show it live.

Thought you were European. Guess it's actually quite nice for you to have a race at a decent time.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, can anyone please explain the deal with the Sluitingsprijs? (Awesomely named race, btw.)
It appears to be happening, or has just happened, but it doesn't seem to, like, exist on any cycling result pages I can find.

 

[tobydawq]

It became a criterium last year.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm starting to think that crit races are actually very important. They're like these secret, hidden races that only the initiated are allowed to know about.

Gaviria apparently beating Ackermann in stage 1 of Guangxi. I would have liked to see the photo finish. Otherwise, nice that they show the race live at last, with a decent production as well.

Entertaining finale with lots of futile attempts.

It's up on Tiz so you can watch it. Super close.

My god, the width of these roads in Guangxi...

Nice win for McLay!

Yes. Important win for McLay.
Road wasn't wide enough vor Bauhaus. Killed the sprint of Ackermann.

Ackermann didn't seem to get slowed, but yes, a pretty strange and stupid move by Bauhaus.

 

[F_Cance]

i hate sprints on wide roads. Always a mess and today even more than yesterday.

A mess because more sprinters have the chance to win and it isn't the leadout that decides everything? Hard to follow that line of thought.

 

[tobydawq]

And Bauhaus did get relegated.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Weird Ackermann losing to a Gaviria with no form and then Dan McLay.
