Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Samamba]

Allright now they are going full. Only Kubus seemed to be able to follow easily, De Lie dead. Think Laporte can drop the Trek guys. Still 1'30 to break tho.

 

[Netserk]

Laporte is so good that he doesn't need to commit here.

If they get caught, Kooij can launch him again.

 

[Samamba]

Season is ending to early for Laporte.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Still being 21s behind at the climb spells disaster for Lidl, will only go up.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hmm that doesn't look right actually

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Season is ending to early for Laporte.

Same as last year. Would be nice if he could have an uninterrupted spring next year, not like he has many years left.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Lets go Kubis ffs.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

We might end up with a peloton of 20 for tomorrow....

 

[Netserk]

What a joy to watch The Greatest!!!

 

[Tim Cahill]

de Vries trying to make it over the next climb rather than dropping on this lap it seems. The gap is growing now, Soderqvist/Hoole great tters but lacking Laporte's resistance.

 

[Netserk]

Imagine how much worse the race would have been without the ITT setting up the GC.

 

[Netserk]

Lidl-Trek have surrendered, had to wait for Hoole to come back.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

If the group stays in front, several riders will have a great chance to get their first pro win today.

 

[Netserk]

Kubiš to get 2nd in GC.

 

[Netserk]

It works great with the shorter circuit.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Knew I had fond memories of this rubbish dump from somewhere, Belgium getting it wrong and riding for the incorrect guy at the European Champs, great times.

 

[Samamba]

Well that's a nice surprise

 

[KZD]

Timo de Jong, what a win beating Kubiš and Laporte.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Now that's a fun outcome. Decent company to get your first and probably only pro win in.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

What a win. Great racing today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bit of late season sputnik action from VolkerWessels, insane demonstration but Kubis also got it a bit wrong.

 

[Netserk]

Great stage, great finish!

LOL... according to Feltet.dk, Honoré was "millimeters from the victory."
Those were some very long millimeters...

They didn’t say how many millimeters.
