Lesser known races 2025 edition

[RedheadDane]

Okay, I need to know:
Does the Tour des 100 Communes actually go through 100 communes?
Otherwise, it's just false advertising, and a lie, and I'm gonna walk straight to France and hit someone on the head with a rubber duck!

Why are we suddenly talking about a 1.2 race?

Why are we suddenly talking about a 1.2 race?

Because I asked about it.
Rhodes was also being discussed earlier.

Not like we can talk much about Monseré until tomorrow anyway.

Why are we suddenly talking about a 1.2 race?

Because as I'm sure you've sometimes told people. Sometimes in life you've got to appreciate the little things

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Why are we suddenly talking about a 1.2 race?

well its still a somewhat free world, at least until we have a couple of more clowns entering the show.

I'm not against it..! It just seemed a bit arbitrary is all. It does come with a price though, be warned! You'll be hearing a lot about Grand Prix Herning and Fyen Rundt later in the year!!!

We're talking about all kinds of races in this thread. .Pro, .1, .2, Caucasian, we're treating everything equally.

🚴Tour of the 100 municipalities: a successful third edition! It was under a radiant sun that the Tour of the 100 communes ended at the Olhain park this afternoon! ☀️ Congratulations to the big winner of the race Matthew Brennan who succeeds the Belgian Jonathan Vervenne and the Norwegian Halvor Dolven; as well as to all 150 participants. They crossed 51 municipalities of our agglomeration, between the plains and hills of Artois, over 183 kilometres, using only the strength of their calves. 👏 Want more? See you tomorrow for the Lillers Grand Prix: start scheduled for 12:15 pm!

So, to stop any litigation from a certain Danish member of the forum, the 100 communes are raced over 2 days ... (as far as I know!)

Good day for Q36.5, Moschetti wins and Nizzolo 3rd

Decently synched celebration as well. Nizzolo needs to improve his legwork.

If it was a stage race, it would be a 2.2 race.
Also, who said anything about litigation?

It's basically "Dead Belgian Guys Races" week.

Strange, I look for a Live Stream to watch these Dead Belgians

So just the threat of violence was enough?!

Big crash in Monseré.

Coupe de France 1.1. races on this forum = good quality racing
Belgian 1.1. races on this forum = chat GPT generated farming races for Belgian teams

Make it make sense

 

[Rob5091]

Brunel is one who likes to get in the break.

Huh?

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Huh?

Just pointing out how some members always seem to be hating on the Belgian 1.1. races because they're "points farming" races whilst they don't do it for the French 1.1. races.
Or in this case a certain Danish member calling them "death".

Learn to read mate.

That crash has made things sweaty for the peloton to catch the break.

GP: Front group riding well with 11km to go.

I think you know what I was referring to.
It's not my fault Samyn, Criquielion, and Monseré have all ceased to live.

Woops my bad.
But to be fair Samyn was French so the blame is not totally on me

 

[Samamba]

Would be nice that a random break makes it in one of those boring sprint .1 races.

Oh the once supertalent Brunel on his way to a solo win. Nice
