Lesser known races 2023 edition

[Red Rick]

Stelvio at around 2750m, I think. Rettenbachferner is a bit higher, but they only ever did it in the Tour de Suisse, as far as I can remember.

Bonnette in 2008 they went over 2800m.

Meh, on the final 12.13kms (and the final 22,6kms) he was 40sec slower than Yesid Pira on exactly the same stage in 2021. Now if only Pira could replicate his performances in Europe, that would be nice...

I was already gonna say I was underwhelmed by the time gap.

But Pira didn’t also win 3 of the previous stages and finish second on the other. MAL should finish top 10 min every stage as long as no breakaway stays away.

You already know who won.

You already know who won.

I really want him to win all the rest of them.

 

[Tim Cahill]

If you speak to Miguel Angel he show you how to win err....

...Because he won every stage.

Superman won today's stage.

Superman won today's stage.

Ok, this is getting more dominant than Petr Rikunov at the HTV cup (10 road stage wins, TTT win and gc win).

I'm going to assume he won it on his own.

Sadly not, that would have been even more impressive.

Peña has to start feeling robbed, being the best of the rest honestly.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Who is Estiben Pena anyway and why isn't he on a bigger team?

Like he might be getting dropped by Superman every stage but he's still a handy climber clearly

Unless there is a bit of a subtext to this race like in Portugal? ('Who's this Alaracon kid!'). Still enjoying it anyway look at all the fans.

Raced for Polartec Kometa but didn't do well for whatever reasons. Very similar background to Egan Bernal as MTB rider, also, same hometown.

The thing has happened.
