Lesser known races 2026 edition

Yeah, and clever riding from Grégoire to use Visma's strength in number at his advantage instead of riding passively

 

[Potomac]

Drome was a good race so far.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Grégoire the favourite I would think, Jorgenson looks very thin, should be interesting in the Ardennes.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Messing about far too much!!!

 

[RedheadDane]

Of all the times the stream could freeze...

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Gregoire takes it. Jorgenson 2nd.

This must have been UAE's worst race in years. Not a single rider in the top 25. Not even Christen or Morgado.

Cosnefroy looked strong but got a bit unlucky with how the tactics turned out, and burnt all his matches for the finish by chasing the front duo alone

Edit: Christen is 17th

Cosnefroy was strong but his move on Mur d’Allex was not astute at all.
