Lesser known races 2025 edition

[Dazed and Confused]

The flat 15 km ITT in Holland today:

Commences at 13:30 (local) and with some damn good TT'ers involved, this could be a pertty tight battle for the stage.
Startlist via race website: https://oym-general.b-cdn.net/produ...results/Startlist-Etten-Leur.pdf?v=1760606141
Last rider to start is Soderqvist at 15:18.

Also everybody gets a chance to review the modern day engineering mable : The gate mechanism at the ramp...

Some exceptional win farming by Magnier this second half of the season. Kinda wish he just comittied to it from the start of the season instead of doing actual races just to show how ridicously easy it is for sprinters to win if all they care for is the win total. The consistency is pretty remarkable still though!

Would love to see Magnier and Brennan in a head-to-head sprint. Suspect, Magnier may be a touch quicker. Look forwsrd to their battles in 2026.

They will clash in some races, especially, those that are a bit hilly.

I don't think many other riders could have done the same as what he has the last few weeks.

JPP looks like he's not really enjoying this "hot seat" in mid October

Fair to say that that new BMX start system does not work properly

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The start system is for the bin......

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Is this race all prologues?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Is this race all prologues?

Yes, the stages are many prologues patched together and as a mass start because the BMX starting system doesn't work and they only wanted to have so many lols. This stage is 2 prologues for example.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

well, well, Laporte leads.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

So Rogers strange start didn't have any big impact, imploded on the second part, or was there a mishap we were not shown? +27

 

[search]

is this start gate more than a gimmick at all? There's a timing line at the bottom of the ramp, so I guess times are taken from there anyway?

And UCI rules allow a 5s window to start and still get your "real" time. So I'm honestly not sure what it's supposed to add to begin with.

blew up during the 2nd part most likely.

Race leader on course.....

I think it's to distract from the fact that the times they initially display are wrong and get corrected after a moment.

Hayter about to win another one

NVM LOL Soderqvist destroying everyone

NVM X2 Hayter with a bomb

 

[Tim Cahill]

Soderqvist must be doing some insane watts because he's all over the road on that bike.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Segaert very close, 2nd.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

And Hayter pulverises Laportes time, let's see if Söderqvist can strike back.

Edit: he can't, Hayter wins roughly 4 seconds in front of Söderqvist.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Hayter with his usual negative like in Lux

 

[Cycling111]

Dan Hoole has only won one time trial outside of the national championship, at the Giro against Tarling.

 

[Samamba]

Should've known Hayter would do a negative split
