Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Netserk]

Valter riding like he has no offers for next year.

With the bonus seconds on the final stage in mind, Langelotti needs north of 20 seconds, Christen would need to take almost half a minute, and everyone else is in a worse spot. A Brennan GC win actually looks fairly probable here courtesy of Van Gils' time loss yesterday.

He shouldn't really survive tomorrow but after today who knows. Super impressive

Agreed. You'd think too tough. But with 10 bonus seconds on Sunday, GC still well within his reach. Who knows though, with this kid?

When you see the high quality edition in 2022 with Evenepoel, Vine and Plapp, then you have to wonder about the 2024 parcours.

LANGELOTTI SUPREMACY

Jez Cox sounds like a very personable guy but his permanent state of confusion and lack of preparation are grating.

"Are we in Norway or Denmark, errrmm or Switzerland? Pippa, can you help me out? When's the sprint? In 2 kms. No! It's in 12 kms. Ha! I'm wrong, we have been through it. Oh, this is a mountain sprint. How many points does the winner get? 10 points, no, uhhh, 3 points, no, 10 seconds but no points. I don't know. Let me check the road book [ Long pause ] Let's forget about that, it probably doesn't matter."

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Here we go, a rider celebrated coming over the line, but one lap too early....
Martinez methinks

 

[wirral]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

 

[Norbea]

Doh! It was more than 20 km left to race. What was he thinking?

 

[Tim Cahill]

I wonder how much he can limit the damage here, Van Gils looked back yesterday.

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE are doing the right thing with the full leadout from the bottom to try and crack him but he looks good for now.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Or he could just do that I suppose, wtf is that puncheur demonstration

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Incredible performance by Brennan but it‘s just too tough to win the stage.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Van Gils is back. Too narrow for Langelotti.

 

[will-10]

Brennan is incredible, GC wrap

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Van Gils is the new Remco. Lovely celebratory crash.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Brennan is really good.
