Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Tim Cahill]

Get off the front Storer you fool

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Three riders were busy looking back and UAE wins.

 

[SafeBet]

Scaroni not even good enough to come second in the sprint??? He's wahsed.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Anyway, a very entertaining race.

 

[Samamba]

I think you're overrating his sprint a bit

Or I underrated Ayuso haha. No you were right.

 

[Netserk]

 

[pastronef]

2nd and 7th for Astana. 210 points for now

 

[Tim Cahill]

Astana 2-7

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Easy Ayuso!

Powless finished 4th I think, not bad given he looked like he had been dropped several times.

 

[Faserr]

Scaroni with desperate bikethrow for UCI points.

 

[Netserk]

 

[Samamba]

That's only a few centimeres difference between 150 and 100 points.

 

[RedheadDane]

Powless finished 4th I think, not bad given he looked like he had been dropped several times.

He is, after all, completely lacking any 'pow'...

 

[Netserk]

Storer would easily have been 2nd if he threw his bike in the sprint.

 

[YavorD]

He is, after all, completely lacking any 'pow'...

Or he was having a little bit of extra - "er' between Pow and less?

 

[Brullnux]

What are the odds on Scaroni doing the Ardennes triple?

 

[pastronef]

What are the odds on Scaroni doing the Ardennes triple?

he'll ride Strade Bianche, Milano-Torino, Coppi&Bartali, Giro d'Italia

 

[Rob5091]

Ayuso got the win, but it seemed a lot harder then expected. Scaroni living up to the "Duracell Bunny" moniker - he's non-stop at the moment. How long can this last though?

 

[YavorD]

What are the odds on Scaroni doing the Ardennes triple?

Great, if Ayuso doesn't start.

 

[Potomac]

Bettiol gets his first UCI points of the season, if you can believe it.
I wouldn't have guessed Astana scoring all theses UCI points and still having Bettiol in reserve.

 

[RedheadDane]

Storer would easily have been 2nd if he threw his bike in the sprint.

Okay, I know what "throwing his bike" means, but just imagine if a rider stopped right before the finish, and hurled his bike across the line.
There is a rule that a rider must always bring a bike across the line, but is there a technically a rule that a bike must bring a rider?
Of course, in a mass sprint, that kind of... questionable behaviour... would likely file under 'dangerous behaviour'.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Top 5 Giovanni carboni!!! Good and underrated rider

 

[Brullnux]

Great, if Ayuso doesn't start.

I think Ayuso will fade by then, that's what he normally does. Not sure Scaroni has any challengers for LBL, at least

 

[Rob5091]

Bettiol gets his first UCI points of the season, if you can believe it.
I wouldn't have guessed Astana scoring all theses UCI points and still having Bettiol in reserve.

I'd guess Vino is saving Bettiol and others for the Giro, and Scaroni has to rest sometime!

Bettiol was never gonna be a points guy. Too inconsistent.

He will win races thoguh
