Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Tim Cahill]

Del Toro did his usual thing of attacking across I imagine, Scaroni/Formolo shouldn't really cooperate but Moniquet will do for points?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Rui Costa has made it across, inspired by Alaphilppe on Friday no doubt

They won't be live...

 

[Brullnux]

Does anyone know who won

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Will we know the winner in Italy before Fourmies finishes in 6k?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Does anyone know who won

Del Toro

 

[Brullnux]

Del Toro

***'s sake

 

[RedheadDane]

Does anyone know who won

Make a qualified guess.

I am SO bored of Del Toro farming 1.1 races

I am SO bored of Del Toro farming 1.1 races

I am bored of pretty much anything involving UAE.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Gianetti lifetime ban please

 

[Brullnux]

Let me guess, Scaroni 2nd

 

[Tim Cahill]

If we wait long enough they will just go away hopefully, the oil has to run out at some point. Gonna head down to my local school field and knock a wind turbine up in protest.

Another win by Isaac Valverde Del Toro Belmonte.

 

[RedheadDane]

Magnier wins.
Wærenskjold dropped his chain.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Nobody went down, which normally makes this a better-than-average Fourmies but not when a chain drop denies us of a shootout between Wærenskjold and Magnier.

That's not the time you want to have your chain dropping...

I like your optimism, but I think it's more likely they get to a point where they're happy with their sportswashing and leave

 

[QueenStagiaire]

First to last to first

 

[Samamba]

Actually wild that this Fourmies finish is still the same. No crash this year but it's a *** descent till like 700m till the finish. Every 2 year a mass crash, dumb sprint every year.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Evgeny federov on the podium!!! 125 UCI points

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I am SO bored of Del Toro farming 1.1 races

There were quality riders at all of his wins this week...just not his quality.

Today's top 10 was the worst of this week. Rui Costa, but he isn't what he used to be.
