Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Cycling111]

Because Skjelmose is such a poor time trialist?

He's very good, but McNulty in ITT is on a higher level.

 

[Valv.Piti]

McNulty is so strong, I wonder why he aint do Worlds. Medal opportunities in both events

 

[RedheadDane]

Powless still leads McNulty 3-1 when it comes to finishing second behind Skjelmose.

That's a competition?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

No win for the worlds greatest Belgien!!! Sad day for the sport, we want to see the horse in full flight.

Will you call him "Belgian Pegasus" then?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

That's a competition?

Yes. It's only open to Americans as well as American-ish guys like Ayuso and Skujiņš, but the latter is not on the board yet.

Mads Pederson too, maybe? He has at least one from Kiddesvej.

I don't think Mads Pedersen is "American-ish"...

 

[tobydawq]

Right, just American then with Swedish heritage.

 

[RedheadDane]

Right, just American then with Swedish heritage.

Oh, you did actually spell the name correctly, and was talking about some random unknown guy?
Not the former World Champion who recently won green in the Vuelta?

Sorry, was his name Mats Pettersson? I thought it was an established fact that he was primarily American.

And who do you think finished second to Skjelmose on Kiddesvej?

 

[search]

China:

Quick, but he hasn't won

1	Salby Alexander	Li Ning Star	14	20		2:59:54
2	Quick Blake	Roojai Insurance	5	12		,,

so we really have two overlapping stage races in China currently?!

And Parkhotel Valkenburg is doing both!

 

[RedheadDane]

And who do you think finished second to Skjelmose on Kiddesvej?

Mads Pedersen. The Danish guy.

Neither are Jorgenson, Kuss, or Riccitelo on a climber’s course.

"why he aint do Worlds", man, your English teacher must have been a bit bemused at times...

Sounds like perfect street slang to me

 

[YavorD]

Mads Pedersen. The Danish Swedish guy.

Yes, that's the one.

 

[kingjr]

Surprised and relieved to see Brenner riding so well after an almost career-ending crash in the Giro.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes, that's the one.

Excuse me. I very clearly wrote the Danish guy. And I recall we had a poll about it.

Why are you trying to steal him for the Swedes anyway?
They actually won a pro race this year! They'll even have a WT rider next year.

Sounds like perfect street slang to me

Not to mention that the way you "speak" - or rather write - in an online forum might not be identical to how you speak in English class.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Magnier will probably clock up another win tomorrow in Slovakia, but it would be great if Kubis can somehow win the stage.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Lux. Oh look, a proper size ITT coming up next. Skjelmose will have to deliver big against Mcnulty methinks.

 

[Berniece]

He's very good, but McNulty in ITT is on a higher level.

When Skjelmose is in great form, he's a good time trialist. He won one against Ayuso and Evenepoel in Tour de Suisse 2023.

 

[YavorD]

Excuse me. I very clearly wrote the Danish guy. And I recall we had a poll about it.

I knew it was a typo and you actually meant Swedish.

And as for the second point, I'm all about fair world and international cycling with more countries competing for the big wins. Are you not?
And since Denmark wins a bit too much at the moment, I claim Pedersen to be Swedish.
If you want, you can keep him, but you have to transfer Vingegaard?

 

[RedheadDane]

And since Denmark wins a bit too much at the moment, I claim Pedersen to be Swedish.

I don't think Denmark is winning too much, I think Denmark is winning an absolute perfect amount.
We only had two wins today (19/9)...

Great lead out by UAE for Skjelmose and Jegat in Luxembourg. Somebody forgot to tell UAE that Pogi or Del Toro are not there.
