Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Samamba]

They're not catching him are they?

Maybe some can make the jump but he has a decent lead. Definitely a good move. He's also still fast if he get caught by a small group

If Ganna is this good now then MSR should be fun.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Filippo "Remco" Ganna

Race should be WT btw. Portugal deserves a WT race and this one is great. I heard it's a real possibility for the near future. Would've been way better than fricking Copenhagen

Copenhagen is fine for what it is. We all need the occasional race where you can look at a photo of the finishing line and have seen everything you need to see. The only thing I don't understand is why it's 230km long when 2,3km would suffice for settling the outcome.

 

[Potomac]

Powless missing from the peloton?

Copenhagen should have been in/around Vejle!

In which case it wouldn't be Copenhagen...

Why is the second moto at the back of the bunch on the climb? How inept can they be???

Well they couldn't call it the Copenhagen Marathon for legal reasons.

Bikini clad dancing girls ...only in pro-cycling!

That was indeed funny

 

[Salvarani]

They are closing in on Ganna

 

[Peyroteo94]

Ganna is fading a lot or this GPS is crazy

Not a single race that just gets WT status in their first edition is fine. Straight up BS and a money thing.

I have to give them props for finding a route even less selective than the 2011 Worlds though. It takes dedication to be that spectacularly bland. Back then they even put the feed zone on the longest uphill of the circuit to make it even harder to attack than it already was.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ganna probably get caught now but he's ahead of the race at least, might be able to hold on and sprint

 

[Salvarani]

Morgado!

 

[carolina]

Morgado!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pretty good attack from Zorro, bit of a clownshow from LIdl

 

[Peyroteo94]

C'mon António!!! Go go!

 

[scribers]

Morgado is a beastly climber. Not in ability but in look

 

[Tim Cahill]

A little assistance from the strictly neutral motorbikes in front

 

[tobydawq]

Sure, the Portuguese rider can be shown from the front

 

[Samamba]

Will be hard alone, unless the moto just tows him of course

 

[Peyroteo94]

Will be hard alone

It is perfect. Group 2 dynamics will strike

 

[Berniece]

Will be hard alone, unless the moto just tows him of course

Alone? You didn’t see the moto?

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Will the motard be allowed to join in the festivities on the podium?
