Lesser known races 2023 edition

[Salvarani]

Rui Costa in the break at Piemonte ... how long before the shouting and arm waving starts?

Absolute legend.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Marc Hirschi teleports across, uh oh

 

[RedheadDane]

Haven't you guys noticed that these matters are being discussed in a separate thread?
Why? Because Samu is weird...

 

[Didinho]

Wout with Kelderman and Valter. But I imagine the front group working well together now.

 

[Samamba]

Aranburu came back so Jorgensen should go all in

Huh? Ciranda made the thread and the rules, Toby brought it back to life, Rick, I assume, re-sticked it, but I get the blame?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Aranburu theoretically the fastest but there are a few with impetus to attack before the finish.

 

[search]

looks like it's all coming back together behind. Can't be much more than 10s between G2 and G3, at least.

Yes!

 

[Samamba]

Will be sprint of a decently big group in the end. Group Ganna is coming back too.

EDIT: Matthews there too. So if he doesn't drop now he's also one of the favorites. Albanese too.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yates and Hirschi gonna go soon I think.

Ben Turner is back which is good to see after awful luck all season.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Small-race Hirschi in small-race Hirschi mode.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hirschi in the Lesser known races thread

Watch him be absolutely nowhere in Lombardia

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

According to PCS WVA isnt in the 40man group behind Hirschi and Bagioli. His climbing legs from the Tour is gone?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Mythical Aranburu descent attack.

He gave up fighting the last km of the climb. Also he‘ll be less tired for the Worlds Gravel on Sunday.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Someone told Guillaume Martin he was 12th in GC and had a chance of moving into the top 10.

No one has to tell him that. He always rides like that. Even in training.

 

[Samamba]

This motopacing lmao

 

[Didinho]

Ganna solo or waiting on his Vuelta sprint.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Not sure what's more embarrassing, this motopacing or the fact that the front four are losing time regardless.

Edit: and now the gap goes out big time.

 

[Samamba]

These guys are gone if that moto just stays in front of them like that

EDIT: yeah they're gone. Actually disgusting.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wtf is this screwjob

 

[Didinho]

Turner vs moto.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Motor literally twice as close to G1 as the second one is to G2, this is a joke.
