Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Netserk]

Very predictable, very boring. I was even within 200 m of guessing where the attack would come.

No racing possible before, now we only have riders TTing to the finish.

 

[Tim Cahill]

We will always have the tour of holland.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hayter in his usually position.
Quite easy to spot too.

JW Van Schip handlebars are crazy once again

I need him on a pro team just for the sheer antics he's going to pull off each year. Imagine him collaborating with Campenaerts

We'll see levels of shithousery not seen since O'Bree

One last dance before they become illegal?

 

[Netserk]

Sivakov even ruining the promotion battle. Burn in hell.

UNO X v Cofidis only reason this is worth wathing.

Kulset v Thomas now. Not sure if UNO X is better of riding with this group instead of the letting the bigger group (with Abrahamsen) come back.

EDIT: they are back. Very important sprint coming up for the WT battle.

Benjamin Thomas is pretty fast

 

[Alexandre B.]

Road cycling is so uninteresting when that team is at the start.

Yes so in a 10 man group he would've podium'ed while Kulset would've been 9th or something, that's why I said it.

Late flyer from Abrahamsen would be perfect now.

I've got excellent news for you, the Tour of Holland is on.

(with zero sportwashing teams)

But a boring sprint lmao

 

[Brullnux]

Come on Astana, this guy has ruined your autumn campaign and you're still not chasing him down.

Silly question:
If Kärcher were to sponsor a bike team, would that bike team be a sport washing team?

 

[search]

Cofidis really would have benefitted from Aranburu keeping a bit of shape. On paper, all these Italian races are basically going perfect for him - but he is nowhere

haha, MVDP once rode for a sport washing team in that case (PowerPlus)

 

[Samamba]

Big for UNO X, this should be the end of that battle

 

[Brullnux]

They let Sivakov come 2nd?

He let them down so much you could think that he's doing it on purpose so he can leave the team at the end of the year.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

No, UAE made sure Sivakov came 2nd.

I like the fact that Kärcher sponsors - I think - one of the main CX race series.
I guess the riders are gonna need some need to get washed after some CX races.

Sprint coming up.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A competitive bunch sprint coming up.

 

[Berniece]

What a win by Merlier, he had to go really deep

 

[Tim Cahill]

 

[RedheadDane]

Merlier.
Almost didn't recognise him in normal clothes.
