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.

 

[Potomac]

Dammit, Powless interview just faded away

 

[Potomac]

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

 

[Cycling111]

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.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

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.

 

[postmanhat]

Brennan and Kristoff already out of contention in Hageland after crashing.

Good group of 11 riders in front, with four Alpecin. Other riders chipping off the peleton in two's and threes could kill the momentum of the chase?

 

[Netserk]

I had hoped for a less crash-affected race to watch.

Still won't write off G2.

 

[Netserk]

They should wait for G2/G3 and have doms chase him down.

 

[Netserk]

Okay, the attack went nowhere. Peloton is far back at the finish-line.

 

[Samamba]

Alpecin just dominating again

Del Groso looks like he's the strongest there

 

[Netserk]

C'mon, Mike! Make it back for Vino!

 

[Netserk]

Is Big Phil so back?

 

[Samamba]

Don't really understand what UNO X is doing. IS tiller going to beat 3 Alpecin riders? They are protecting that Tiller break a bit too much imo.

Intermarché should also ride immediately behind. Van Boven is gonna get dropped again and they have like 4 riders in a group of 20 behind.

 

[Samamba]

Allright 2nd guy for UNO X and INtermarché coming maybe. That's way better for them. And Artz for Intermarché is a guy who can actually finish high too

But why does Tiller keep riding in front...

 

[Netserk]

Big Phil is stunning!

 

[Netserk]

Attacks kicking off with 21 km to go.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Highly rate Big 6 Jasper doing the Belgian GPT buildup to the Tour instead of this hipster 'Dauphine Altitude' nonsense.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Solid front group. Excellent racing so far.
