Lesser known races 2025 edition

Yeah, unless we see a Sayar-level sputnik performance from a CT team this race should be a lock for them.

dunno, those Astana guys aren't very good either, to be honest. It doesn't really need much to beat Lopez, Poels (nowadays), or let alone Masnada.

Don't let Illmaestro see this!

on the other hand, Vadim Pronskiy or Stefan de Bod may eye a return to Astana, so winning the first mountain stage could bring them in a pretty good position to negotiate for 2026.

Soler wins the stage+ gc

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Soler wins Asturias by 3:37, lol

 

[Samu Cuenca]

And an important second place for Juaristi..

Rutland. Melton. Psycho. Killer. Cicle. Classic. Is. Back.

I'm sorry... ?

The correct way to question the meaning behind Psycho Killer would surely have been "qu'est-ce que c'est?", to which E_F_ would have to answer "fafafafa, fafafafafa fa".

Vercher must have found some incredibly good legs late on in Asturias. Going by the pictures/video, Soler attacked from a three-men lead group (him, Guerin, Juaristi) on the penultimate climb, but still almost got reeled in by Vercher in the end.

Is Simon Dehairs off the back earlier than Mareczko right now?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

TDT-Unibet now making a pace

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Dehairs was also dropped on the first climb.

Is Simon Dehairs off the back earlier than Mareczko right now?

I've had a look at Dehairs multiple times for the main and emerging CQ games, and every single time a big reason for backing off was me going through his results on anything that isn't pan-flat and thinking 'wow, this guy would struggle to drop Mareczko on a climb'. If he's actually been dropped by Kuba here, that's really funny to me.

Kristoff dropped with Unibet sprinter Bomboi, I guess they might be riding for Loockx???

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Don't think Kristoff has given up coming back. Time will tell.

800m at 5%, definitely for Loockx

 

[danielzu]

Malucelli or Van Uden still there?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Looking at their liveblog and according to PCS' definition, Kristoff and Viviani are the two best 'hill specialists' in the field. Mareczko makes the cut in 13th.

I just realised that Mareczko rode the 2021 Lombardia, what the hell?

some of the usual late attacks now that never stick in Turkey

 

[Tim Cahill]

Have to say even though it might not stick the attack looked very flashy from the Burgos rider.

 

[Samamba]

Nice attack but he will just get rolled on that last uphill straight probably.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Del Grosso takes it. Good win.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Easy for Del Grosso
