Lesser known races 2024 edition

[Devil's Elbow]

Mareczko even won Stage 1, but at his peak he may have even gotten over the climb in the beginning of stage 2 instead of abandoning. The field is absolutely terrible in Greece this year.

The field is absolutely terrible in Greece every year. Don't understand why teams needing points don't bother, surely it's less of a hassle to send a C team there than it is to send one to Asia?

The Greek probably don‘t have money to pay you to start, so nobody even knows that race exists.

Naesen and Bennett having a bit of fun:

Practically identical.

Visma not sending JSM to Tour of Norway. What is going on?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Felbermayr 1-2 headed by Zoidl on a big MTF in a smaller 2.1, what year is this again?

Zoidl just gains an extra 30 Watts once he steps down to CT-level...

does the 2.1 "Gran Premio New York City" tomorrow start at 7 am so that every US rider can still catch a flight to the national championships later on in the day?

Good to see a new UCI race in the US, but that really sounds like some odd planing.

Apparentry it‘s 1.2, I thought it was .1

ah yeah, just mixed up the numbers. Thanks

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Also, just like the New York Jets and New York Giants, the Gran Premio New York City is hosted in New Jersey. I think this should be illegal.

Guys! Stop what you're doing! Cancel your plans for the weekend!

Fausto Masnada is on the attack and is leading the virtual general classification of the 4 Days of Dinqirque!!!!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Fausto has gone solo

 

[Tim Cahill]

Masnada now appears to have left his rivals for dead on the hillside, a day Jérémy Lecroq will never forget surely

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I hope we will at least get some epic black-and-white pictures on our televisions of the great Fausto riding alone along the great passes of the Mont Cassel.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The gap to the Peloton is mysteriously evaporating.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

If Fausto can hang on up this climb he will take the lead on the KOM competition

People can hate on him for doing breakaways in a not so big race, but the team bring him to races that don't suit him at the expense of big races he dreams of, and he's still fight to get something from the race

 

[postmanhat]

nada for Fausto.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Ok Fausto caught by the peloton but he has a 6 point lead on the mountains classification and put on a great show for the French fans all cheering his name

 

[postmanhat]

Turgis seems to Kirby's latest favourite son, especially when it's Gachingnard who's actually attacking

 

[Froome]

Now seriously, Fausto Masnada has a place in the team of the Tour by replacing Moscon.

 

[postmanhat]

Shame for Gachignard that Asgreen doesn't seem to be on form here. He attacks in every race I've seen in him, but never seems to find the right group/pairing

 

[Izzyeviel]

I miss GCN+. Its too hard/if not impossible to find these races live on amazon/discovery. I can watch previous stages, i can watch the final stage live, but not this one.

 

[postmanhat]

Anyone know what happened to Gachignard?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Well, that Bennett guy ain‘t no thief.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Anyone know what happened to Gachignard?

Not much, apparently, finished 14th.

Bennett closing in on Pogi's win tally.
