Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Cycling111]

The peloton is too big. If they don't make a bigger selection, Covi will win the mountain sprint.

 

[RedheadDane]

Six riders up the road in Limburg:
Dissel, Ridolfo, Rosenlund, Toupalik, Van Vliet, and Vervenne.
They have around 3:17
Still well over 100 Ks to go
Coverage in about an hour.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Group riding in Italy...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Come on Polti, I'm tired of Saunier Duval winning every race

 

[search]

looking at the start list, Polti could be riding for everyone. Who is their best shot? Alex Martin?!

Probably above my pay grade but Crescioli is quite good isn't he?

IIRC he was the one that told that REMBRE lad he could have the stage in Avenir last year then stole it from him on the line

 

[Dazed and Confused]

That 650m attack is enough to gain the most aggressive rider prize.

 

[Cycling111]

With this intensity they give the stage to Covi, the fastest

 

[Netserk]

Meintjes should have been the one following him, sigh.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Last few 100 is easy isn't it?

 

[Netserk]

Covi will get a yellow card.

Riders accustomed others closing gaps.

Very poor level in this race

Rondel (?) still managed to crash in the only corner.

Good win for Oliveira, though. Must be the first in quite a while

 

[Samamba]

Sigh

 

[RedheadDane]

Oliveira with a nice one.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Meintjes would have exploded up to his wheel with his punchy acceleration

 

[Tim Cahill]

Can we find a way to ban these guys from 2.1s

At least it wasn't someone who wins a lot

It also doesn't help that others do nothing and wait for the UAE to attack them.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

First victory outside the Portuguese champs and Prologues for Oliveira

no Polti in Top 10 in the end. Maybe next time.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

So Polti sefldestructed on the descent.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Hopefully raceaction in Limburg will be less zombie like.

 

[Samamba]

At least we get one Flemish race with some "bad" weather this year.

 

[RedheadDane]

That guy in the drive-way with around 1 K to go in Abruzzo probably prevented a crash.

He was holding a cat, and... I don't think it would have ended well if that cat had ended up in the peloton.
Only two cats should get involved with pro cycling:

24 riders arrived together in the Abruzzo mountain stage
