Lesser known races 2023 edition

[Salvarani]

Cavagna attacks!

 

[Ricco']

I hope it's a matter of lack of interest from Axeon's part, rather than a case of not getting invited by the race organisation, but Gonçalo Tavares and Antonio Morgado would have already crossed the line hand in hand by now.

I think it's the first, the team usually starts their season only in march and I think they only had their first training camp this week.

 

[DNP-Old]

Moreira already dropped like a pebble btw, the scene is dead.

 

[Salvarani]

It is a pretty good group that has a gap to the peloton

 

[RedheadDane]

We got graphics!
40 Ks to go.
Cavagna group got 35 seconds. Make that over 40 secends.

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah, I think it might be difficult to bring them back.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Any idea why EF are wearing black armbands?

 

[Salvarani]

Herregodts and Cavagna time trialing to the finish

 

[carolina]

Any idea why EF are wearing black armbands?

It's part of the jersey. Classic Rapha armband on one of the sleeves.

 

[Salvarani]

EF bringing it back!

 

[carolina]

If Cort passes the climb with the group, EF has this in the bag.

 

[Salvarani]

Pedersen vs Cort for the win in a sprint?

 

[RedheadDane]

Pedersen vs Cort for the win in a sprint?

What is this? A stage in PNDKR?

Breschel thinks EF might be riding for Van den Berg.

 

[postmanhat]

Pedersen vs Cort for the win in a sprint?

But neither of them ride for ICW?

 

[Ricco']

Soudal deserves to lose this.

Ffs, Van Wilder should have countered Conci or Goossens instead of looking behind like a leashed Froome.

 

[Didinho]

Van Wilder looks so strong, could solo this one. But got nothing to say if Pedersen wins.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Strongest guy in the race is going to do a sprint lead out. lol quickstep. F* this.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

What is this? A stage in PNDKR?

Breschel thinks EF might be riding for Van den Berg.

People's National Democratic Korean Republic?

You've got the order wrong, it's PDRK.

 

[postmanhat]

According Jez Cox, Mikhels is there for ICW, so must be one the favourites?

 

[Ricco']

He's not. Goossens, Costa and Herregodts.

Mihkels is 145

Post Nord Danmark Rundt.

 

[Salvarani]

Pedersen wins!

 

[RedheadDane]

And Pedersen takes it.

Also, WTF was up with those cars parked in the last K?

 

[DNP-Old]

Casper Pedersen was already an eye opener on Mallorca. He has taken it to another level and then another level again since joining QuickStep. I'm inclined to say he's better than Morkov.

 

[yaco]

Good effort by Pedersen to bridge up to the leading group in the last 20kms - Intermarche riding for points instead of the win.
