Lesser known races 2024 edition

[Samamba]

Think he can get rid of him on one of the climbs. Hoelgaard has seemed super strong.

You're right about the gap. Strong attack from Segaert in the peloton, but nobody wants to cooperate. Which is a bit strange.

Possible yeah but it's still very risky. Anyways Abrahamsen isn't far. I don't think Hoelgaard shoudl ride. And with peloton doing nothing apart from some attacks they will be fighting for the win.

 

[Samamba]

Is there a Belgian small race that hasn't been dominated by UNO X the last 3 months?

 

[Samamba]

Ok Hoelgaard is stronger indeed. Absolute dominance from UNO X once again.

 

[Squire]

There you go! Teunissen dropped.

 

[Samamba]

They are actually gonna fill up the podium.

Ok they are with their A team here basically, but wtf are other teams doing.

 

[Samamba]

Norwegian championships

 

[Squire]

Teunissen might not be completely out of this yet.

 

[Netserk]

Tiller unable to put his chain back on.

 

[Samamba]

Hoelgaard is cracking. Teunissen might be coming back

LOOOL That moto is ridiculous

 

[kingjr]

Who are the German commentators on Discovery+?

Robert Bengsch and Jörg Ludewig.

Yeah, that giga moto pacing seems to have broken Teunissen's spirit a bit.

 

[Samamba]

Great race, but that motopacing deciding the race is just dumb. Just why man.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Without the crash of Tiller i think him and Abrahamsen wouldve stayed away from the peloton and Uno-X wouldve been 1-3-4. lost quite a lot of points because of this.

 

[Squire]

Tiller said he felt great, and thought he would have caught Teunissen. Hoelgaard said he cracked completely after he went alone on the hill.

Dunno if the moto pacing changed the result. Teunissen still had 5-6 seconds to close, and he wasn't closing that rapidly. Seems like his legs kinda went as well when he complained about the moto. And he didn't seem too angry at the finish.

Great race anyway.

What's up with Marcus Holegaard doing nothing whilst in the WT with trek? Now he went back to uno x after 2 years as a bad rider and he is suddenly a Norwegian terpstra again ?

A lot of health issues while at Trek.

I'm getting a theme of "Every guy winning should be at the Vuelta."

Nah. Jayco should have taken neo-pro Foldager to the Vuelta, and he has not won at Denmark.

I disagree. He was definitely closing the gap pretty rapidly before Hoelgaard got a moto in front of him on a part where there was apparently a very strong headwind. You could see Teunissen creep closer before that and after that the gap got bigger insanely big.

He isn't angry cause Teunissen is mature and just not that person. He was pretty angry when it happened, and in the interview after the finish he also was insinuating it by repeating "but after Wijnpers he flew away".

Yeah, good point with the headwind. Hard to be sure, really. Both of them would have deserved it.

 

[Rob5091]

Tour du Limousin stage 4 - the finale - Oradour-Sur-Glane to Limoges 161.1 km, start13.10 CET, TV from 15.00 CET

GC wise, Baudin has 23 seconds lead over Aular and 25 seconds over Cepeda, so Caja with two cards to play. 2,200 m of climbing so a strong break might make it, but the last 2,5 km are a false flat to the line so it'll take a strong sprint to win.

 

[RedheadDane]

Stage 3 of Turul Romaniei:

Sibiu › Cristian

Someone clearly didn't get the memo:

9	RAILEANU Cristian

And Burgaudeau won in Limousin.

 

[Rob5091]

What looked like being a bunch sprint turned into a smash and grab by Mathieu Burgaudeau at Tour du Limousin - chapeau! & Baudin wins the GC thanks to his breakaway win in the rain.

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Madiot better have a contract in his drawer written up with all that is missing is a signature for the boy Lewis Bower. The Kiwi successor to Pithie is right there.

I suppose they'll have first dibs, but would not be surprised if one of the better funded teams lure him away.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Youngest guys at Avenir should be among the best

Morgado here for some reason, "Tour of the future", man was 5th at Flanders, that's just unfair.
