Lesser known races 2025 edition

Page 34 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
Fantastic race although a bit of a downer that it ultimately pivoted on the McNulty puncture when it could have been an intriguing duel.

This definitely needs a big upgrade to it race status as this being a 1.1 and worth less points than Clasica Almeria is a gross insult to ciclismo.

Widar also riding Tour des Alpes Maritimes on Saturday, though no idea how he's doing.

Excellent to see that boring aside about 'how you watch races' being moved to the correct thread preserving the sanctity of the lesser known races thread.

Unworthy of being spoken about in the same breath as tangents such as 'Is Slovenia in Eastern Europe?', 'Birthrates in Israel' and 'Multiple iterations of Libertine comparing contemporary cycling events to something similar that happened at a Basque club team in 2004'.

As the person who accidentally kickstarted one of the above with a throwaway joke about Pogacar: Spontaneous tangents >> this tangent
