Lesser known races 2025 edition

[YavorD]

They've reached temperatures of around 30 degrees C. Definitely summer!

Everything above 22 should be banned, so I propose to ban summer?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Only guy who could beat Pog in july.

The French Michael Storer.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I mean technically summer starts on summer solstice.

Using calendaric Summer in the context of it being hot makes little sense, though, always go by meteorological summer.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Piganzoli drops Cras..

According to the Danish Meterological Institute, it's only an "official summer day" if it's over 25 degrees. Who the *** came up with that?

Anyway; Prodhomme electric.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Dominant win by Prodhomme. Crazy performance.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Earlier it looked like Prodhomme was possibly pulling too hard while Cras was riding smarter, but that clearly wasn't the case.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Swear he was only like 50 seconds slower than Armstong's record, could be off a bit though, he didn't even have anyone setting a big pace on the climb.

 

[RedheadDane]

Ganna slow.


(By that I mean he didn't get NBT at the intermediate.)

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ganna slow.


(By that I mean he didn't get NBT at the intermediate.)

Ganna is always a bit off in his first race after coming down from altitude.

 

[Didinho]

Looks like it’s for Hayter.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's a black day for the top analysts of cyclingnews forum

 

[RedheadDane]

Ganna officially slow.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Nys will be overjoyed with these time gaps. Hayter hasn't shown the climbing form required to survive tomorrow's stage for ages and only having to gain 20 seconds on a not exactly flying Ganna is a lot better than he would have expected.

 

[RedheadDane]

Molano!



Philipsen "Of course, maybe, will get in trouble tomorrow."

Thanks for clarifying, Thomas (Bay)...

 

[Didinho]

Ethan winning again. Cycling is back.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

Ethan winning again. Cycling is back.

Not worth minimum wage, apparently.

Not worth minimum wage, apparently.

No, not when he rides around at the back of the peloton in every single race he does and doesn't have a halfway decent performance for a year.

 

[Berniece]

No, not when he rides around at the back of the peloton in every single race he does and doesn't have a halfway decent performance for a year.

Is he paid much? Doesn’t SOQ mostly do bonus deals for riders that underperformed at their previous teams

 

[KZD]

Good to see Hayter winning again and Nys showing a big improvement in his TT.
