Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Leadbelly]

Krestchy is a DNF for IPT. That doesn't leave much (or any?) help for Riccitello on the climbs today or tomorrow. If Unibet/Q3.65 use their numbers to attack rather than setting a pace, he could be in trouble.

 

[Paulemann]

Anton Schiffer looked strong at the German Championship Road Race. At climbing at some point second strongest behind Buchmann, so he should be in contention for Top 5.

Very long but not too steep Climb at the end.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Climb coming up in about 5kms....

 

[Earns1985]

Is it Froome, who is still with Riccitello?

 

[Earns1985]

That is a really early attack by Riccitello. Two riders a re still with him. De La Cruz and?
Edit: Eiking...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Still 5kms to go. Eiking ftw.

 

[Earns1985]

Finally Ricitello goes alone..

 

[Samamba]

Omg Riccitello winning, what a surprise!!!!

Channelling his inner Dawg

 

[Dazed and Confused]

2kms to go. Riccitello with 12s.

 

[Samamba]

De La Cruz isn't that far it seems

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Riccitello wins, but its still not clear to me who got 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

and we have another climb crash....

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Schiffer into the barriers

sibiu live stream - stage 3

 

[Dazed and Confused]

yea, stage 3 is a shrunk version of stage 2:

The stage will finish before the tour stage starts.

Oh, I see they're using the same "graphics" method as the British Nat Champs...

yes, the disease is spreading...

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay! It should be against the rules to show ads with such delicious looking stuff!

27(ish) Ks to go.

Sibiu Break

 

[Dazed and Confused]

10kms to go, on the climb now.

 

[RedheadDane]

Schiffer takes it.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Thornley is such a strange rider. Can't think of many people who would finish fourth on both the sprint stage and this MTF.
