Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Rob5091]

de Lie's third attempt to win at Almeria so he knows what to do.

 

[Netserk]

Lotto in place.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Any Nairo sightings?

 

[RedheadDane]

Fretin wins.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lotto leading out thin air

 

[tobydawq]

Milan wins!

 

[KZD]

Fretin wins, De Lie is just so bad at positioning himself.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Cofidis.....

 

[tobydawq]

Cofidis vs. Astana, what a battle.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Any Nairo sightings?

You make it sound like he's a Danish zebra or something.

It looked like Astana could get that elusive win, but Fretin takes it instead.

 

[Netserk]

Chinastan with a Faustian bargain. No wins this year, but plenty of points.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Astana with Cavendishes leadout and no proper sprinter

 

[Kazistuta]

Where is it possible to watch Figuportugesa?

 

[Rob5091]

What a messy old sprint but chapeau Fretin and Cofidis - 200 UCI points to them.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Congrats to Freting and Cofidis, glad the final sprint was crash-free! (Unlike de la Provence's)

Fretin wins, De Lie is just so bad at positioning himself.

He was a bit unlucky that the Arkéa guy who had the front decided to pull off just in the curve with 500 metres to go - that cost him his position behind Kanter's wheel. And then he had to take the long route around Leitão - but he didn't look like he had any speciel speed which isn't surprising.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Very nice interview, congrats to Fretin.

Astana with Cavendishes leadout and no proper sprinter

Kanter at least came 2nd and gets 150 UCI points for his troubles.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

+150

Well it's minus 50 against Cofidis, so it wasn't a great result at all. Even Tudor and Polti managed to get two riders in the top 10 each. Vino is probably getting ready to relegate someone to the devo team as we post.

 

[yaco]

He implicated UAE as well.

It was Hatch who started the conversation and Blythe went on a rant. Blythe's reference to UAE was having three riders in the front group and finishing nowehere. UAE hardly needs to worry about points and you are drawing a long bow if you infer Blythe was suggesting UAE was hunting for points in Murcia.

 

[Wvv]

Leitao with a 2 x track lap sprint, but it was a bit harder against this bunch from such a distance.

 

[Netserk]

Magnier, Morgado and Vacek as favourites. And let's see if there's some life in Clouseau or if this is his retirement contract.
