Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Brullnux]

Del Toro is incredible. For me, he is the third favorite for Rwanda.

Behind Ciccone and Ayuso?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Tomorrow we'll have another classic in Italy: 73rd Coppa Sabatini

Similar startlist as in the Toscana. Now where is Conca when needed?

It will be live on the tube eventually:

Farmers Weekly will bring you live coverage of this one as well!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Very late catch of the break, some of them may be able to latch on and stay with it to the end.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They have to get rid of Cipo or he will smoke them in the sprint.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Strange attack from Del Toro who would be favourite in the sprint

 

[Samamba]

Big points incoming for Cofidis, not completely out yet.

 

[RedheadDane]

After G. Thomas retired, it would be a beautiful result if B. Thomas won.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Benjamin Thomas has enough time in the bank to finesse a bit but continues to do the bulk, got the director in his ear yelling at him to just take the UCI points

 

[Tim Cahill]

You cannot have a motorbike that close to an attacking rider at a finish, would've won anyway.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

del toro the new hirschi

edit. i knew this would have been said before, but obviously im so lazy i couldn't be bothered to look

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Del Toro Show
all week

 

[Red Rick]

If Benjamin Thomas is gonna take turns with Del Toro there, we can just delete cycling right now.

 

[Brullnux]

Yeah that was a UCI points finish with Del Toro the beneficiary.

 

[Samamba]

If Benjamin Thomas is gonna take turns with Del Toro there, we can just delete cycling right now.

I think it's pretty obvious why he did that.
Blame the UCI for the dumb system.

Relegation, the win was less important than the points.

For Granger it was just this being by far his best ever result.

 

[Rob5091]

Ben Granger 3rd?! Riding for a CT team so not bad. Del Toro and UAE again as expected. Onto Saturday's Memorial Marco Pantani.

Solid season mainly in the Italian calendar, I think he's earning a spot in a professional team.

He's 25 so no wunderkind but solid. This year is a tough one though with teams losing sponsors, merges and the like.

Polti are losing a few riders, Granger is already Italy-based, and Double did Polti to WT, so would seem a fairly good bet.

In fact Granger has followed Double's career path almost suspiciously closely so far, so Polti is definitely the obvious choice.

I can also see him going to MBH Bank, which is turning professional next year, but Polti looks like a good shout yeah.
