Lesser known races 2025 edition

Even this thread couldn't keep up with the insanity that was today's schedule. No mention of Scaroni or whatever happened with Kooij and Brennan in France?

Excuse me! I totally mentioned Kooij.
BTW, Jeroen Meijers won the final stage in Huangshan, Daniel Cavia won the GC.

(I suspect the inability to keep up wasn't helped by the two World Championship races happening too.)
 
Wednesday is time for Omloop van het Houtland (1.1) , 199 km from Eernegem to Lichtervelde. Start at 12.45 CET, TV from 15.15 CET (two streams - in Dutch at https://cycling.pickx.be/nl/?v5 or
in French at https://cycling.pickx.be/fr/?v5 )

(Sprint party by the looks of it - Merlier, Groenewegen (with last year's winner Big Max Walscheid), Gaviria, etc and the desperate hunt for UCI points continues)

Difficult to avoid the bunch sprint, but lets see what the other 16 teams will do to prevent such a thing. Also, in case of a bunch sprint is Merlier back in business after showing some weakness last Friday?
