Lesser known races 2023 edition

With one leg! Chapeau! De Lie .. again.

 

[roundabout]

next time around De Lie should do his sprint on a unicycle to give the rest a chance

 

[Samu Cuenca]

De Lie: The one-legged sprinter.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Hahaha,
has anything like this happened like this ever before?

 

[Samamba]

Dude is prime Sagan in these kind of sprints btw. That's Groves he putting 5 bikelenghts behind, not just a random sprinter.

 

[yaco]

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

I thought National and Continental Championship races were only open to local riders.

De Lie is a lot faster, he was in like 20th position and still I didn‘t even have to watch the front because I knew De Lie would win.

Yeah and what happened to the European Champ? Maybe De Lie should have been given a chance. What a sprint!

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like it's gonna be a sprint in Vendée. Presumably everyone will sprint with two legs.

Sagan to come out of his pedal and win one more time

 

[RedheadDane]

The other - or would that be "the original"? - Arnaud gets his first win for Arkea.
He did sprint with both legs.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Démare had to switch teams to get FDJ do a proper leadout for him

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Sagan would have done a great job there, if he have had Dujardin in his wheel.

 

[Rob5091]

Démare wins at Td Vendée - must be glad to get a win (and the team) but this was not WT opposition.
One last top 10 finish for a certain Peter Sagan on his last day. Farewell champ & thanks for the memories.

 

[KZD]

Today was the day of the Arnaud's, the 5th and 8th is going to be the clash of the Arnaud's.

Sagan's successful road career reaches the end, goodbye legend.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Outrageously stylish win, box office in fact

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

On Sagan's last day, a winning style and balance that he would have been proud of.

 

[Bolder]

On Sagan's last day, a winning style and balance that he would have been proud of.

I wish he would have at least contested the sprint for old time’s sake.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I was referring to De Lie's win in a different race. Crossing the line with one leg almost over the barrier looked like a Saganish way to win.

 

[Netserk]

De Lie is a lot faster [than prime Sagan]

No.

Sagan from 2013 would whip the ass of De Lie on any finish.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

No.

Sagan from 2013 would whip the ass of De Lie on any finish.

If De Lie had Sagan‘s positioning he could celebrate 100 meters out and win.

 

[yaco]

Sagan showed in his last race day that he is still the master of positioning in sprint finals - It's a pity that tesson could not hold his wheel.

I can already sense that Pescador will get an epic thread title!
