Lesser known races 2026 edition

[Samamba]

Finally a proper attack

 

[RedheadDane]

Michielsen taking an unplanned swim.

At least I think it was unplanned...

 

[Squire]

Death, taxes and Alec Segaert attacking in small, flat-ish Belgian races.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I agree with Segaert's move, simply because he seems to be doing this a lot recently, and if you do it 50 times the chances are one time it's going to work and you will get the right people looking round at each other.

 

[Salvarani]

Might not be easy to bring him back

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Jakobsen finishing 13th km from the line.

 

[Samamba]

Vermeersch didn't follow the one attack he needed to follow

Hagenes almost made it not so long ago. Morgado should have gone with this attack instead of chilling at the back of the pack like he's Ethan Hayter.

 

[Salvarani]

Jakobsen would have been better off going to a team in Asia at this point, maybe after his contract runs out or he will just retire

 

[Samamba]

Where is Alpecin

 

[Samamba]

Sprinterteams have been blocking attacks all day and now they don't want to ride?

 

[Salvarani]

I think Segaert has this

 

[Netserk]

good wind today

speaking of which , i expect a lot tomorrow

 

[Rob5091]

Seems like nobody wants to chase, so go Segaert!

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah, he has won it. No way they close 30 seconds now

 

[Samamba]

He should have this in the bag? 30s is a lot

Wild that sprinterteams just disappeared once a strong rider was g one

 

[Squire]

I think Segaert has this

Starting to think you are correct. Serious lack of urgency in the pack.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Some utterly bizarre tactics on show today. The new finish does not favour Segaert, though.

 

[Squire]

All the mediocre sprinters have a million teammates each. And there's one RB rider and one Total Energies rider pulling with a horde of Bahrain riders on their wheels. What a circus.

 

[Sciatic]

Bahrain staying in 2nd & 3rd wheel of chasing peloton seems to helping block the chase somewhat. Or the other teams are just blockheads

 

[Netserk]

excellent by bahrain

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Peloton sounds nicer than a bunch of knuckleheads.

Gap is decreasing slightly, but not fast enough.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bora should just have let Vermeersch ride today rather than having him do the work of 3 domestiques.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ohhhhh no he's not happy, shades of Remco.
