Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Squire]

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.

 

[postmanhat]

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.

 

[Cycling111]

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

 

[Samu Cuenca]

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...

 

[Brullnux]

Baroncini is a perfect reason why UAE need to disband. No need for them to stock up on people who can win this type of race. He should leave and there should be a lower to mid tier Italian wt team to take him

 

[Samu Cuenca]

PCS are telling me that there are 114650 km left in Andorra. Brutal race.

 

[RedheadDane]

The riders in Andorra will be passing a statue:

That's one fatass cyclist!




(Uhm... we are allowed to call statues fat, right?)

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Is this Copenhagen race meant to be WorldTour? How come it only has 10 WorldTeams? Does that not immediately disqualify it fro being a WT event next year?

Why would it? Frankfurt only had 10 WT teams as recently as two years ago.

I don't think there are any requirements for a post 2016 race under the current rules, as long as they have invited all WT teams, but that will of course change soon.

Wait, a 114.7 k one-day race? Crazy.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

OK: thought that it was still a rule, in the way that Turkey lost its status, but maybe not.

Still, not really much of a vote in favour of it.

It was supposed to be a bit longer, but the Beixalis climb was taken out due to bad weather and it being on gravel (I think this was the climb where Pogi won his first GT stage and Soler had his famous tantrum but that name doesn't really seem to feature on the profile of that stage).

Fatco will dominate this classic for years.

On that Vuelta stage, after the gravel section they turned right to climb up to Cortals d’Encamp (which is where Soler threw his tantrum) whereas today they would have turned left to descend into towards the bottom of Beixalis.
