Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Netserk]

Intermittent stream of Flèche Ardennaise. I don't know if anyone can challenge Widar. Last images were 30 minutes ago, I think they were on Wanne then?

Bad weather close to where they are, so doubt we will see a lot from a 5G stream. Was already bad last year in good weather so. Half the parcours is in forests with bad signal. A bit sad, cause one of the better u23 races every year. Imo the real LBL u23 cause it's actually hard.

There's a few who could maybe challenge Widar if Widar doesn't have a super good day. Finn for example. Maybe a pro at the start.

EDIT: it's been raining hard for the past 30 minutes, thunderstorm even. So yeah.

Widar beats Finn in a two man sprint in Ardennaise. Race was neutralized at some point.

We could see Rafferty attacking on Haute Levée and then later joined by Miquel and O'Brien. After the descent of Rosier, no further live images. If I recognised the roads correctly.

They got almost caught on one the next climbs and then the race was neutralized due to a serious thunderstorm. I've seen images, it was impossible to ride. They restarted some time later. I think Widar and Finn went clear on the (real) Stockeu.

Turkey, final stage: Bunch sprint coming up. 13km to go.

They rode the last two Ks really quickly then!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Big attempt by Del Grosso, but it doesn't look promising.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Malucelli takes it

 

[RedheadDane]

Astana is on fire in this race!
Metaphorically speaking.

 

[KZD]

Malucelli wins, great week for Astana.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Astana cleaning up.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Astana again. They're literally on fire.

 

[tobydawq]

Will the win stand?

 

[ingsve]

Kristoff needs a faster lead out so that he can sprint from the front to get those last wins it seems. Missing Gudmestad a bit.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Astana again. They're literally on fire.

To say that they are on fire is literally metaphorical.

 

[Netserk]

Close, but Malucelli found the space needed. Bravo, Chinastan!

 

[RedheadDane]

Jasper riding in all Haest.

 

[RedheadDane]

Less than 25 Ks to go.

Very meaningful pun for non-Danish people.

What might this be in response to?

Are you just inventing posts of mine to make me seem stupid?
