Lesser known races 2023 edition

[Rob5091]

Chapeau Kielich & Alpecin - he's having a good spell with a couple of stage wins in Austria in June and a win on gravel back in April. Next year and 2025 he's moving up to the WT team at Alpecin, so one to watch - when he gets a chance!

Woah, greatest echelon riders of all time?

I'm watchigng the replay now...I have never seen team cars pace an entire group all the way back to the front...this is crazy!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Burgos BH riders to go nuclear after spending 2 weeks at some of that 4000 meter east asian altitude, it's a shame Mulubrhan isn't here.

talking about the Asia Tour... nice to see Team UKYO around for this race again. It's their first time in Europe since 2018.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Front group containing approx 7-8 riders off the front, coverage very bad, I see Carr, Arrieta, Hirschi, Jesus Pena, Lazkano and a couple others.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Ajuso dispatching healy but can't get rid of LAZKANO

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lazkano vs Hirschi and Ayuso

Healy is an utter fool, tried riding them off the wheel on a shallow gradient and cooked himself, not racing against juniors here.

 

[search]

hard to say which of those jerseys looks worse. Hirschi or Lazkano?

 

[Samamba]

Lazkano insane again

 

[DNP-Old]

Hard to see, but it looks like Juanito is solo because Oier was busy brushing the rain off his face.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lazkano was dispatching UAE like Stannard vs Quickstep but Ayuso has a gap, could come back as it looks to be closing a little

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The commentators are so funny, I thought someone crashed but they just getting really excited to announce 8km to go

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Lazkano descent masterclass

 

[Tim Cahill]

Both of these are really good descenders, Lazkano has made it back though with 7k to go

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Come on Oier cook this boy

 

[DNP-Old]

Caida Ayuso.

 

[Didinho]

Ayuso crash in last corner. Gonna be for Lazkano.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ok, what just happened?

 

[DNP-Old]

Oier just vanished from the earth?

 

[Didinho]

Lazkano also down? Hirschi takes it.

Some vintage Spanish coverage.

 

[Samamba]

What a mess

 

[DNP-Old]

Oier came in just before the peloton, weird.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What the *** just happened

 

[Ilmaestro99]

loooooool wtf . Lazkano spontaneously combusted

 

[Didinho]

I think Lazkano went down even before Ayuso, he was alone in front when he crashed. No one to see in front of Healy and Hirschi after that turn.
