Lesser known races 2024 edition

I think if I had written that, I'd have been banned for a few days ...

Luckily, puns are not prohibited by the rules.

Lucky for me, because I think I would have been perma-banned a long time ago if they were.

Jakobsen really is having a bad time ... He's still got 2 more years on his contract at DSM so for his sake, I hope he can get back to some decent form.

 

[RedheadDane]

Expecting Thief Declaration any second now.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If Jakobsen doesn't rebound next season, he should honestly consider calling it quits, this is becoming painful.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Jakobsen is not a Pfeiffer Georgi thread.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You'd think Bora would figure out they could win a bunch if they put a decent sprinter behind Danny van Poppel...

 

[RedheadDane]

Philipsen wins ahead of Meeus.
Crash close-ish to the finish.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Win for Philipsen ahead of Meuus.

It seemed to be some riders being taken out in the corner leading into the final kilometer. Did not see if someone when done, but for example Wærenskjold who was in a decent position ended up on the footpath and had to stop.

 

[RedheadDane]

Meeus not appearing on the result sheet?

I'm pretty sure he was there...

 

[Rob5091]

What a messy and dangerous sprint in Münster but luckily no crashes and a win for Philipsen - Frentin third again.

 

[Rob5091]

... and of course it's auf wiedersehen the bearded one, Gescke.

Sad day for the sport , geschke retires and philepsen wins

Said it before, KNWU should be calling him on the daily. Hoogland and Van den Berg do not have eternal life, there will be spots open on the team sprint fairly soon. The latter is already very much subpar. With the lack of talent on the track, Jakobsen could slot right in without making a fool of himself every race.

Nobody cares about track racing

Shut your ham mouth!

We are at least a few people who do care.

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like the break either just about stayed away in Malaysia.
Or there was a late attack.
Tarozzi won ahead of De Bod, 9 seconds ahead of the peloton, sprint for 3rd won by De Kleijn.

 

[RedheadDane]

Coming down to a sprint.
Less than 20 Ks to go.

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like Malucelli.

Why do they have so many sprint finishes?
