Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Rob5091]

70 km/h on the flat aint bad.

 

[yaco]

I am mildly surprised that Groenewegen made the split as he's average in the crosswinds for a Dutch rider. there is a chance the second group makes it back.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They all must be using those bikes that 'save 20 watts' that most certainly do exist and weren't just Colnago execs chatting mess.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Seems like group 2 is coming back.

 

[Tim Cahill]

The last 100 metres is always the hardest

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

The last 100 metres is always the hardest

Especially with only 7-8 km to go.

 

[Berniece]

Gap is still quite large, don't think that group will close the gap before the finish, not that it matters that much.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Fabio Jakobsen fraudwatch leaning forward in their chairs right now

It only means Dunbar loosing 4th in GC

 

[Berniece]

The second guy crashing didn't look good

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

That was insanely strong from Merlier

 

[Berniece]

Merlier won again, once he's launched don't seem there's someone able to go over him. At least not in this peloton.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Crash looked awful for the Picnic guy, went face first

Merlier too fast, Dylan had the wheel but couldn't get out

I think only Milan is his equal, looking forward to them clashing in a few weeks

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Dunbar lost a minute.
It will be interesting to see if all in the first group actually gets the same time, there were a lot of splits in the last 500m.

 

[Rob5091]

Merlier gets the expected win and Groenewegen 2nd.

Think the commentator said it was Degenkolb

 

[Rob5091]

The second guy crashing didn't look good

Straight into a telegraph pole by the look of it. Hope it's not too bad.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Degenkolb bad but he is moving

 

[Faserr]

That looked awful. The only positiv thing is that he didn't hit it with the head.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Fedorov fighting for his damn life for that 7th.

 

[repre]

Federov fighting for his damn life for that 7th.

still gets zero UCI points for this. What a hero.

 

[yaco]

It only means Dunbar loosing 4th in GC

It actually means that jayco does not have the second tactical card for stage four. Anyway, Dunbar should not have been dropped in the echelons.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's showing Degenkolb as 13th, can't've been Jakobsen either as I think I saw him trundling in sheepishly.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Degenkolb bad but he is moving

If Degenkolb is #52 as per PCS then he finished in the top 20 and it's someone else that crashed

 

[Coffeeplanter]

It's showing Degenkolb as 13th, can't've been Jakobsen either as I think I saw him trundling in sheepishly.

Eekhoff.
