Lesser known races 2023 edition

[QueenStagiaire]

Formolo high pace, Carapaz, Pogacar, Sivakov and Valgren amongst the followers but the group is very small.

Zana, Bennett, Grossschartner the only others left

 

[Samamba]

Real Valgren is back. World class rider in random Italian fall one day races.

 

[tobydawq]

To see Valgren sitting in this group makes me so happy!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Sivakov, Pogačar, Carapaz are the best three.

Sivakov, Pogačar, Carapaz are the best three.

Sivakov really seems to be in great shape. Even a jetlag can't stop him

 

[Samamba]

That's not a bad group for a .1 race lmao

 

[QueenStagiaire]

That‘s the second time the commentator has said Carparaz

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Over at the "sprint stage" in Slovakia, Cavagna has 1:30 over a chase group of Asgreen, Küng, Vader, Hailemichael and Lemmen with less than 10k to go. Everyone else is done. Peloton 6 minutes behind.

Got to love cavagna bikehandling skills, being unable to take both hands off the bar to celebrate. Will never forget that descent in california

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sivakov's pace actually looks like it's putting some pressure on Pogacar

 

[Samamba]

I thought it was just a mistake but this dude actually thinks his name is Carparaz?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Peak Sivakov????

 

[Samamba]

Well that's painful for UAE

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pop-achar

 

[Samamba]

Pog looks like he's on Col de la Loze

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wow wtf were Ineos doing not bringing this guy to the Vuelta, leaving or not, hes in top condition.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Sivakov still can‘t descend apparently

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz has a very good descending style, confident on the drops like most of the South Americans, that's not who you want following you if you're Sivakov

 

[Ilmaestro99]

OK masnada needs to be at top form for lombardia , as a leader, no excuses, he wipes the floor with this pogacar

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I think Pogacar went all-in for the win. He‘s just stopped riding now.

 

[DNP-Old]

Wow wtf were Ineos doing not bringing this guy to the Vuelta, leaving or not, hes in top condition.

Sivakov is like the Dallas Cowboys. He is an accident waiting to happen.

This Pogacar will not show up at Lombardia. We all know how he can transform himself in three weeks.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Carparaz carparked on the motorway bridge

 

[Samamba]

Sivakov in actual superform. Too bad he wasn't good enough for the super strong Ineos Vuelta selection.

 

[Tim Cahill]

That was some ride that, risky but well timed attack at the end to drop Carapaz there as he would've lost the sprint.

Masterclass by Sivakov
