Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Izzyeviel]

Amazing how we all stopped caring about riders safety.

On October 12, during the Beijing Mentougou International Cycling Race, a Spanish rider shared his results on a social media platform after finishing the race by putting a pig and the Chinese flag together, which sparked dissatisfaction and discussion among Chinese cycling enthusiasts. Subsequently, the organizing committee issued an announcement announcing the cancellation of the rider's race results.

Whoever wanted 2 ITTs in 6 stages in Tour of Holland definitely wanted to be sent straight to The Hague

Looking at it again, I think it's a very good route, all things considered.

They could easily have had a third ITT with some hills in it.

Three ITT's in six stages? Lol.

 

[Netserk]

Three ITT's in six stages? Lol.

And a TTT!

Where's Remco?

Did they accidentally start the feed for Guangxi from the beginning?
Nevermind, might be doing it correct now:
Quick presentation of the route, then images.
Nevermind the nevermind... still showing images from the neutral start.
It appears we won't be getting images from stage 2 of Guangxi...

 

[RedheadDane]

Seriously, does anyone know how to contact the people behind the coverage for Guangxi to inform them of their silly mistake?

 

[Faserr]

Yes, thats strange.

Its the same with the official chinese stream. I think they don't have live pictures.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

China, stage 2:

edit: we are somewhere near the top of the climb. Lets see if anybody gets spat out.

Streams available.

 

[RedheadDane]

Streams available.

Nope!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nope!

Well, I'm watching the stage live now.

 

[Faserr]

Perhaps ReadheadDane and me are living in a different time.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Well, I'm watching the stage live now.

If RHD is not watching, no one is watching.

 

[RedheadDane]

Well, I'm watching the stage live now.

The graphics says 33 km to go?
Because last time I checked when there was some 40 Ks to go, the graphics still said more than 150 Ks to go.
And they were showing images that were clearly not live.

Aaaah... now they're live. Only about 30 minutes late.

 

[Faserr]

Now its live.

 

[RedheadDane]

The weirdest thing is; they got it correct yesterday.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A little split in the peloton seems to be developing.

The weirdest thing is; they got it correct yesterday.

yesterday they also showed recorded pictures from the start for the first 30 minutes of coverage

 

[RedheadDane]

yesterday they also showed recorded pictures from the start for the first 30 minutes of coverage

Okay, that is weird...
If it was only highlights, then it would make sense, but it was just... the first 30 minutes of the stage.

Anyway, does anyone know if any sprinters got dropped on the climb?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Peloton is a little strung out, but no real damage done (yet)

 

[RedheadDane]

Surely, if damages should be done, it should have happened on the climb...

And UAE has sent Julius, the evil Danish breakaway eater, to the front.

 

[RedheadDane]

The front trio is actually putting up a decent fight.

 

[RedheadDane]

Catch made.
And Narvaez goes.

 

[tobydawq]

Magnier is the new UAE.
