Lesser known races 2025 edition

Very interesting situation. Hayter looks like he's doing a bit too much in the breakaway, but he also looks strong.

Yeah I see it as a good sign. If Hayter is top no one is dropping him here. But it could get tactical. Apart from like 2 climbs the circuit isn't that hard and group is too big to stay together.

EDIT: ok nvm not looking that good for Hayter after all

 

[Samamba]

Riders doing everything they can to make this stage hard and entertaining, but this circuit makes it too easy to organize every time after the hard climbs.

 

[Samamba]

Frigo gone. Looks like the strongest (and smartest) in the race.

Ganna needs to go now if he's any sort of form. Hayter isn't going to win the GC.

 

[Didinho]

Strong finish from Jenno!

Baroncini also doing great since the Giro.

 

[will-10]

Hayter holds it I think

 

[Squire]

Wow, Baroncini might have the jersey by about 1 second.

 

[search]

if they don't find any gaps in the main group, I think Hayter should keep the lead.

 

[postmanhat]

Great to see Berckmoes back in form.

Nope Baroncini, took some seconds at golden km

That golden km is going to be interesting tomorrow.

Berckmoes didn't even try to take the seconds from the golden kilometer. He´d be the leader.

Considering there wasn't a TTT in Occitanie it's fairly remarkable that Burgos walked away with 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 16th in GC.

I mean technically summer starts on summer solstice.

I never got that one: if summer starts on mid-summer's day, then summer is precisely one day long.

There again, I spent a lot of Julys and Augusts in the west of Ireland as a youngster, so...
