Lesser known races 2025 edition

[RedheadDane]

Milesi and Rouland with a small grap to a group that has a small gap to the peloton.
And Oliver goes on a Knight errand.

Now Tiller attacks.

 

[RedheadDane]

Graphics identifying Knight as Vacek...

They're not from the same team!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

about 12km to go in Belgium:
36s to peloton.

Cofidis waking up???

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Exactly 3 years and 11 months after I first mentioned him on here, he takes his first pro victory. Lovely stuff.

I was looking at the results from the Junior Peace Race, and there are a few great names riding it.

My favourite has to be Haimar Etxeberria, though. Obviously Etxebarria would have been even better, but I defintiely hope to see this guy in the pro peloton one day; preferably riding for Euskaltel. Or if he's anything like his namesake, he wouldn't actually be doing his job right if I managed to spot him.

 

[Tim Cahill]

There is a whole load of mucking around going on

 

[Dazed and Confused]

2km, 20s

 

[Tim Cahill]

Knight was 4th yesterday so he obviously has a reasonable kick, other 2 I've no idea.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Those were some of the most inaccurate graphics of all time

 

[RedheadDane]

What a finish that was!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Yep, Cofidis seems back in business also.

1	Knight Oliver	Cofidis	20	30	1″	3:25:59
2	Milesi Lorenzo	Movistar Team	15	18	3″	,,
3	Rouland Louis	Arkéa - B&B Hotels	10	12	2″	0:05

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great stuff, not only that but they almost caught him so it will look in future on the results like he's dusted off everyone in a bunch sprint.

 

[Brullnux]

Great stuff, looks like with the constant domination of the big teams everyone else has forgotten how to chase down a break. More of this please

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Great stuff, not only that but they almost caught him so it will look in future on the results like he's dusted off everyone in a bunch sprint.

He looked very strong in the Nationals, so not surprised at this result. Thought they'd have taken him to the Tour. For sure he'll do La Vuelta.

 

[Sciatic]

Zubeldia accomplished half a "Zubeldia" at Castilla y Leon: relatively unseen but no top 10

 

[RedheadDane]

3 riders on the attack.
Le Huitouze, Wallin, and the guy with the most amazing French name in the peloton; Henry-Francois Renard-Haquin.
According to PCS the gap is around 2 minutes.
50ish Ks to go.

 

[RedheadDane]

The two French guys murdering (not literally) the Dane.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Peloton together
20km to go, short cobbled climb coming up.
streams available.

 

[RedheadDane]

Interesting group with a small gap.
Tiller chasing. About to catch them.

 

[Samamba]

Was just about to comment impressive from Tiller but then he blows up.

Great racing so far.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nice work by Tiller, who bridged to the front group.
10km, 10s
edit: Tiller blew up.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Tiller blows up 20 metres behind the front group.

Time to edit

 

[Samamba]

Peloton is still pretty close.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Where the *** are Cofidis?
