Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Netserk]

Fretin with a bike change.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Brilliant save

 

[RedheadDane]

Bay and Lund claiming Aniolkowski's bike looks a bit big for Fretin.
Dunno what they're talking about; looked fine. Nothing like Vingegaard on Van Hooydonck's bike.


And that was a close call by that Sport Flanders rider.

 

[postmanhat]

Not sure Del Grosso is there?

Edit - There he is

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Alpecin pressing on...

 

[Netserk]

Del Grosso with a gap now.

 

[Samamba]

Alpecin should try to go with a group, not alone

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Del Grosso much stronger than the other guys...

 

[Samamba]

It's a nice move but high chance now that domestiques will come back and the peloton will organize themselves. Alpecin could've gotten 2 guys in a 5 man group for example, or 3 in a 10 man group.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Alpecin patrolling the front of the peloton.

 

[search]

Now Alpecin tries to get 3 men in a 3-men group

 

[Samamba]

Alpecin realizes this probably isn't an ideal situation with Del grosso alone against a whole peloton

 

[Netserk]

Girmay again with a move.

 

[Samamba]

Perfect for INtermarché

 

[Netserk]

Lidl-Trek completely disappeared.

 

[Samamba]

Lidl-Trek completely disappeared.

Lotto and Q36.5 too. They need to come cause Robeet on his own isn't going to do it

 

[Cycling111]

Lidl-Trek completely disappeared.

I'm surprised the two guys who finished 1-2 in the U23 Roubaix are here. They'll be tired.

 

[search]

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

didn't think about it, but as he crashed alone, the 3k rule was not applied. First incident like this since the rule change?

 

[postmanhat]

That Cofidis riders is doing a great job chasing. They should have a bigger gap by now.

 

[Samamba]

What is Viviani's karma? Dude has been behind a crash in every single race he was leader in and now he has a flat in the last 8km.

Gives the break a bigger chance, Lotto won't ride

 

[Netserk]

didn't think about it, but as he crashed alone, the 3k rule was not applied. First incident like this since the rule change?

Itzulia with Martin too.

 

[Netserk]

Girmay on his own?

Now a teammate appeared.

 

[saunaking]

so are you allowed to ride on bikepaths or what???

 

[Tim Cahill]

Viviani's positioning was always good, legs remain to be seen.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

So many riding on the pavement. Surprised there wasn't a crash.
