Will the pros manage to have more riders finishing?

The front duo - in the WT race - was caught.
And off went Abrahamsen!

It seems the number of non-finishers was greatly exaggerated.

The number of non-finishers seems about the same.
They were just a bit slow in updating the list of finishers.

De Lie gets bored with 15 km to go and attacks at Bretagne Classic.

 

[postmanhat]

It's been a pretty good race, but a Nys victory seems most likely at the moment?

 

[RedheadDane]

Hirschi goes.

 

[Samamba]

Hirschi on his way to win another WT classic?

And it's not cause UAE is that dominant btw.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

looooooool... nice pacing by the moto into a headwind. WTF

 

[Rob5091]

Hirschi going for it!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

What a joke.

 

[Rob5091]

Chapeau Hirschi - just got it at Bretagne Classic

 

[RedheadDane]

Guess Hirschi can with above 1.1 level.

 

[Samamba]

Almost a full on bunchsprint in Plouay...

 

[Brullnux]

Hirschi now 1.UWT?

 

[postmanhat]

Hirschi now 1.UWT?

Him and Alaphillipe are going to be so much fun next year. Nothing below the monuments will be safe from Tudor.

Magnier and Nys their first long race and finishing 2nd and 5th. They’re gonna win a lot in the next years.

Nys actually DNFed this very race last year.

Too bad they haven't ridden around Winterswijk at the Ronde van Achterhoek!

That would've given me the chance to tell @Red Rick "I know this place. There's a beautiful water mill called Berenschot, where you can drink lousy French beer!"

🤣

Water mills with lousy beer and service aplenty in the land of The Condor of Varsseveld

Astana chasing points by sending Lutsenko to Hainan.

 

[RedheadDane]

Now, see if you can guess who won the first stage in Hainan.

Now, see if you can guess who won the first stage in Hainan.

If I had to guess, I'd say Mareczko in front of Fernández, Laas, Dupont and Zanoncello.

 

[Brullnux]

That's actually Mareczko's 50th pro win, is it time to put him on the race to 100 list?

I was actually looking at his results after I saw he won in Hainan. He's a really odd one isn't he. He's always ridden for PT or WT teams but his palmares reads like that if a successful conti rider. 50 wins as you said and 37 of them are in Asia with most of them in China.
