Lesser known races 2024 edition

[Tim Cahill]

I was hoping to catch the last 30-40 minutes of the Norway race after this one but apparently it's not even started

 

[Squire]

Fortunato with a really strong finish. Lafay exploded completely, looks like. JSM once again very poor. Tiberi a big surprise. He was good all spring, from his first race all through the Giro, so one should think his base level should be a bit better than this even after a long break. But maybe he needed a proper break.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Oh boy, I cannot wait for Father Arensman to throw tantrums again.

Is now.

Heading somewhere?

 

[Squire]

Poole basically the only "good" TTer in the top 20 or so. Arensman and Tiberi are gone.

Maybe Kuss can have one of his suprise TTs or a random UAE rider.

I fully expect Kuss to win it in the TT. Not sure Poole is that good, and a Kuss on this climbing form should be decent.

 

[perico]

Not exactly world beaters he is competing against, but nice win for Kuss. Maybe he can rebound at La Vuelta to finish out the year strong.

 

[perico]

OK Sepp, what’s with the thumb sucking victory salute.

 

[RedheadDane]

Knight on an errand!

The three I am looking at for the ITT are Castrillo, Storer and Fisher-Black. There were a number of disappointing performances in this stage.

 

[RedheadDane]

Gregaard and Stokbro with a small gap.

 

[ice&fire]

Cepeda beating all the WT guys would be hilarious

Such a shame he couldn't repeat Pardilla's win over Contador

 

[RedheadDane]

Break:
Currie
Feldmann
Gregaard
Kluckers
Perracchione
Stokbro

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Ineos leader Oscar Rodriguez with an excellent 14th place in vuelta burgos. Flying in preparation for la Vuelta

Poole is a pretty good TTer and his form is ok. But Kuss has an advantage over him ofc.

New baby

The rider winning KoM still gets the 500 KG salmon, despite the jersey no longer being the Salmon Jersey? Or is that just Béen being mistaken?

Oh, the TDT guys managed to get it back!

Shouldn't the rider winning KoM get 500 peacocks?

Hey Redhead! Im back after like 10 years ban, but ive been here all the time. Huhovd had made a "joke" and a wager to Unibet Cycling TEam that if they won the KOM jersey he would give them 500kg salmon, like the old salmon jersey did.. And luckily for him some local salmon company helped him, cause these guys at UCT took this serious and now seem to secure the jersey xD..

 

[stianbraathen]

Team UNIbet Cycling team before start.

Already talking about the 500kg salmon price.. Its like £5600 of Salmon.

Yeah, they interviewed Hushovd and the salmon-donater earlier.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Farcical team pursuitin', they got spooked and went out too fast I think

"Ancient (5K points) Your seniority is proof of your authority. You are an Ancient member and been with us for 7 years. Congratulations! "

This is strange, last time i was here i predicted Dennis Rohan as the winner of the world championship.. THat must have been over 10 years ago, i got banned cause i had put money on it and won!.. So i kept going about gambling and when warned by mods i think i said "fukk off" or something. Lol. Maybe its 20 years ago? Anyway, ive tried every year like one login attempt, and denied. I could ofc make a fake one but thats not me. But today, i got in. Maybe it was a 15 year ban? .. Anyway, happy to be here. Cycling is life!

 

[stianbraathen]

Yea, so u watch Tv2 Norwegian coverage? Not anyone else on my channel list streaming it live.. THere is ofc cyclingtorrents dot nl for other languagues , this is allowed to say right? Its like stepping on small glass figures just talking in modern chat rooms. xD

 

[RedheadDane]

Nah, D+.
Don't have access to Tv2 Norway.

 

[stianbraathen]

Nah, D+.
Don't have access to Tv2 Norway.

Ahh, so u get danish commentators? or English; who are they? I have Tv2 Denmark and DR Denmark.. Ofc cost another 200NOK per month cause its bundled with Eurosport International. Its like they are only interested in money! xD. ARctic Race is run by ASO, you do know? Its why if u go to letour dot com u get to Arctic race. Its actually very strange, they use same graphics team and tech team as they do in TDF, Thor is an ambassador to the race. He seems to still be paid by ASO for his arctic race position while same time being the manager of Uno-X team. There is something wrong here, but anyway xD. I wont be talking gambling and taking another 10-15 year ban, thats for sure. And all my historic posts have been deleted i see. Well , maybe its for the best.

 

[RedheadDane]

English. Brian Smith and Jose Béen.
