Lesser known races 2025 edition

Söderqvist just randomly pouring beet juice over himself.

Verner was almost dropped on Kemmelberg. Had nothing left for the sprint.

UnoX, Cofidis and Tudor needed to ride sooner because they had a better chance with a sprint final.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Good interview, every dog has it's day, been 4 years since his last win.

 

[Roku]

It was a good race. Good result for Braet, hopefully he extends with Wanty soon.

Also good win for Theuns. I thought Lamperti was going to take it, but Theuns surprised me.

 

[Sandisfan]

Beautiful Race! Fantastic work by all those in the break to hold off the Peloton.

Always feels weird when Sandisfan actually posts something and doesn't just like every single post every day

Looking at the timestamp from your location, you can see I had just finished watching the replay here in California. I just really appreciated this race and wanted to say so. There are actually many times during a replay I would love to comment but it would be 8 to 12 hours after the race has finished in Europe that the comments wouldn't be fresh to the conversation. Also if you would notice I actually don't put a reaction emoji to many messages. But I want to thank those whose comments have informed me in the last approximately 9 years in this Forum so giving feedback is the best way I can award thanks for the comments here that have made me a much better informed fan of cycling. @Samamba

And I'm sure that we all know what we should do when he/she does post...

Just to clarify.

Posted the link in the Junior thread as well.
Just so we don't get the rainy French races mixed up.

City roads + lots of rain = crash fest

massacre in Cholet

 

[yaco]

Circuit in Cholet is like an ice skating rink.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay... going into the middle of the road to get your bike computer maybe wasn't the smartest; Total guy.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

yep, shitty conditions for such a circuit race.

It's not often PBS - PL Beton Bornholm feature prominently in international pro races.

 

[Samamba]

Looks like Cofidis is starting its Coupe de France points farming tour pretty well.

Kubis should be favorite if they go to a sprint tho.

 

[tobydawq]

Is Larsen finally going to prove that he is every bit as good a rider as his predecessor and successor on the PostNord Danmark Rundt list of winners?

 

[Samamba]

Not a single rider in that 6 man group that has a reason to not work and they are all looking at eachother. Ridiculous. 3 guys up front are gone, unless peloton does something crazy and they look at eachother in front.

 

[Salvarani]

I hope Kubis can get a well-deserved win here after his start this season.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The peloton just can't put the hammer down here.

 

[RedheadDane]

He rocketed to the win!

 

[Samamba]

All French teams beaten by a fake French team.
