Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Filippo_3467]

the worst moto work this season at GP Gippingen.

 

[Samamba]

Worst, but smartest rider of the 5 about to win?

Nys realizes it at least. Not over yet

 

[RedheadDane]

Does Neilson have the Pow?
Yes.

Powless has done this a couple of times this year. Dropped on the climbs, then powers back. So good at measuring his effort.

Wow! What a shocking result. The weakest of the five wins the race. probably benefited from the two Swiss continually attacked each other.

 

[Samamba]

It's a .1 race so in the end it's nice to just see him race (and he looked strong), but Nys and Trek probably played this wrong. If they just control for a sprint he only loses if he crashes again like last year.

 

[Potomac]

Tactics do count. Otherwise they would just ride stationary bikes.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Nice to see a race decided by smart tactics after whatever the *** that Dauphiné MTF was.

Dammit, Powless interview just faded away

Sean Kelly called it when Powless was being dropped. I find him deadly dull most times, but obviously he know his stuff.

LIDL and Nys were the strongest. But they didn't kill the race when they had most of the riders eliminated, including Powless.
Christen was in the first break, but Nys was far superior in the sprint.

Sean Kelly called it when Powless was being dropped. I find him deadly dull most times, but obviously he know his stuff.

It was Brian Smith on co-commentary. I doubt Sean would ever be doing comms outside of the very top events.
