Lesser known races 2023 edition

[Ilmaestro99]

I'm not Belgian, so this attempt at humour is hereby directed towards the trash bin. Care to try again?

I think it was funny, I will let it sit for a bit.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pls tell me it's not the new Orca

As long as it doesn't have this ugly paint job

 

[Ilmaestro99]

At first glance, I thought this was an Ilmaestro reference to Victor Campenaerts

Lol this is way too funny.

 

[Samamba]

As long as it doesn't have this ugly paint job

I don't think anyone actually rides or buys their aero bike

I'm expecting more, you can do better.

 

[DNP-Old]

That being said, Sam Bennett does indeed need to be arrested. That man is a thief, he stole money from BORA hansgrohe.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Jay Vine has a minute, he should have it in the bag.

With the descent still to come and his downhill skills this is a major jinx.

 

[search]

it's kinda interesting that the gaps in Turkey are always wrong, no matter the race situation.

It's an M30 from 22.

 

[DNP-Old]

My eyes are bleeding. Jay Vine is descending.

 

[Samamba]

Ooof the previous Orca's are beauties, the new one ruined that range sadly.

You often say that, I assume that's why it was him ilmastro mentioned specifically.

Like mine or earlier versions?

I think a lot of cyclists will be in jail then

Yours is good, the 2024 (the one they announced like 2 months ago) is the ugly one, everything prior is good.

Sure, but he also accused my of being biased and only coming to Van Gils' defense due to him being Belgian. In reality, I do not really care for nationalities and I would have said the same if he were Portugese, Monegasque or Angolan.

hand stopped, Vine has a minute over the Eolo/Burgos duo. Guerin should normally be still somewhere in between

Also if he was an underperforming Irishman?

Okay, then I guess it could be the reason for Van Gils' slap, since I assume they will ride the 2024 version.

Ben Healy fan since the Wiggins days! I've got all my bases covered.

 

[tobydawq]

Sorry for polluting the thread with this nonsense.

I'm nut fully sure I get how Vine got such a big gap. Was there nobody else who wanted to win the stage?

 

[KZD]

Vine manages to win with a small gap, Philipsen won the sprint for second.

A deserved victory after a season with some bad luck.

 

[yaco]

I find it strange that after Vine lost his chance at GC, that he has actively been chasing the KOM which is the domain of PCT or CT teams in this level of race.

 

[DNP-Old]

In order to surpass Superman in the wins tally (20), Philipsen has to win tomorrow's stage + GC and then quickly make his way to Chrono des Nations and win that one as well.
