Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Netserk]

Paul with the fabled added 5kg not so good for riding Giro D'Italias but lethal on a 1 minute cobbled effort.

He is still smol next to Tiller.

 

[Brullnux]

*** support and very unlucky in the giro I think

He was deep gruppeto every stage that went uphill, not sure it was all luck.

 

[KZD]

Very interesting race, Magnier deserved the win, he was the strongest.

 

[Flamin]

Fantastic finale that was. The Peter Post tactic really was the best thing Alpecin could do against two far superior riders, but the difference was simply too big between them and Magnier/Tiller.

 

[Samamba]

Very entertaining race.

Dwars door het Hageland should really be a WT race in the future. Such a great parcours.

Would literally ruin this race. It's already pretty dangerous but it would be a horrible crashfest. Same with Tro Bro Leon. Leave it as it it, not everything has to be WT. Would also be more controlled probably.

I'd agree, less is probably more here

Yeah the hilly and mountain stages were surprisingly bad. The sprint stages were unlucky and with very poor support.

Doing finales on your own in sprints within GTs is just almost impossible nowadays.

Wasn't good enough at this stage of his career which is no shame for a second year rider.

 

[RedheadDane]

Break could very well make it.

Nope.

 

[Berniece]

Break could very well make it.

Elfstedenronde? Don’t think so, but they should start helping SOQ if they want to be sure

 

[Berniece]

Win for Philipsen, but didn’t look that good. Definitely not good enough to beat Merlier and Milan

 

[RedheadDane]

Philipsen wins.

 

[Berniece]

Not sure about Philipsen now, wait for fotofinish

 

[Berniece]

Magnier wins again
