Lesser known races 2023 edition

[Samu Cuenca]

Even in gravel races, the SD Worx riders will find some idiots to pull for them 😀

Unfortunate mechanical for GVA on the penultimate lap.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Stuyven's trying to save his season now. Maybe INEOS will offer him a big contract afterwards if he pulls it off.

 

[Bonimenier]

Have any of the 4 women in the lead pulled once this race?

 

[Rob5091]

Famenne Ardenne - QS trying to stir things up with 40 km to go.

 

[RedheadDane]

Lampaert and Laporte with a slight gap.

 

[Rob5091]

Laporte going for a long one! 30 km out and with Lampaert.

Just to troll Wiebes, they should go ahead and give the jersey to Cromwell anyway.

Stuyven's still in the lead.

Well if Cromwell can ride the European Gravel Championship then she should be able to ride in the RR - It makes no sense at all.

Interesting race, with all these backmarkers of the men's race, and Cromwell who isn't European.

It's what you call an open championship, just like the men's race is just the open Belgian championships.

But the winner of the Belgian portion of the race would still, presumably, have to be Belgian.

Yes...

 

[Rob5091]

Go Tractor Tim!

 

[RedheadDane]

WTF!
Random car in Famene.

 

[Rob5091]

Someone decided to park the car ... WTF!?

 

[Bonimenier]

Wow

 

[QueenStagiaire]

LOL

 

[Samamba]

WTFGFFFF

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

That was madness

 

[Peyroteo94]

This must be the funniest finish of the season

 

[Wvv]

Loooool De Lie.
One of the most bizarre sprint wins.

Beats Groves with only one foot on the pedals.

 

[RedheadDane]

Someone decided to park the car ... WTF!?

The problem was the decision to, well... "un-park" it.

Meanwhile, De Lie appears out of nowhere, and then sprints with one leg!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

It wasn‘t even close.

 

[KZD]

Absolutely hilarious this finish.

De Lie is a beast in these uphill sprints so much better than his rivals.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

What a guy, winning with one leg
