Lesser known races 2023 edition

It's been one of those seasons for Ewan - It surely can not get worse.

Hold on; Aniolkowski in third. Not Merlier.

Why is that something to hold on for?

Why is that something to hold on for?

"Hold on" in the sense of "wait a minute".

Yes, I got that. My question still stands.

I thought Merlier was third.

It's been one of those seasons for Ewan - It surely can not get worse.

The last two years have been pretty awful, but at least he seems to have got out of the habit of crashing/picking up injuries. This season could end up being his best since Covid. Assuming he rides the Brussel's Classic and Baloise Tour, he could already be on the same number of points as last year, before The Tour starts.

I'm not sure but I don't think he's riding Brussels (cause De Buyst isn't riding), he should be riding Elfstedenronde before Baloise tho.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Does Merlier not want to go to the Tour either? Are him and Jakobsen making way for Sprinter Remco?

 

[Rob5091]

I think Ewan was on 4 different bikes in the space of 1 km - still got second, so not bad at all.

 

[yaco]

Ewan was a victim of the randow draw for the convoy - Lotto Dstiny drew car 17 - They draw cars 1 to 5, and then Ewan can quickly change bike and rejoin the peleton.

The graphics in this small French race are better than the Giro biggest stages

 

[Tim Cahill]

I wish they would pan across the bunch once in a while so we can see who's still there.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz, Froome and Padun still there and lurking with intent as ex Arsenal defender Martin Keown would say.

#StriveforFive

LVE is also there, he looked excellent on the pedals on Sunday

 

[Samamba]

Froome not dropped yet!!!!

 

[Samamba]

José Been trying to pretend like she knows who Van Eetvelt is. Just waffling and saying random stuff that isn't true at all.

Like 5 minutes ago she couldn't even recognize him and said 3 wrong names trying to.

Froome not dropped yet!!!!

How many people at the bunch?...Is Cofidis pulling now?
Froome did some good segment at Andorra this last week...I hope he pass this climb and he can hold in the last one a little bit better than last year, If he hodl the first 2 km with the group he will be at less than 1 minute of the winner...other way similar to last year.

About 20 or 25 in bunch and cofidis is putting a hard pace with Lafay.

to you both, and for the link

 

[Taxus4a]

Not a good signal for him to be at the very back of the group, but remember he sometimes win stages when he droped before...he need more miles to be well.

 

[Squire]

Epic Lenny vs Lennert rematch coming up?

 

[Taxus4a]

Epic Lenny vs Lennert rematch coming up?

What a great climber Lenny...and heis relatives are from Burgos like me

 

[Samamba]

Epic Lenny vs Lennert rematch coming up?

Lennert should be more tired as he comes directly from the Isère Tour. Lenny is also just a better pure climber normally. A bit inconsistent tho.

EF takes over!
