Lesser known races 2026 edition

[QueenStagiaire]

Segaert in this attack group, ten riders

 

[Samamba]

De Lie gets 10 times more flats on cobbles than any other Lotto rider, obviously has to do with his style.

 

[Samamba]

Might be decisive attack, but Red Bull missed it

 

[Rob5091]

Segaert to have another go today - go Alec!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Might be decisive attack, but Red Bull missed it

UAE as well

 

[Netserk]

no slowing in the peloton

 

[Rob5091]

Yeah well race over for De Lie

Win or lose, Arnaud is always an entertaining watch.

 

[Netserk]

redbull puts out the fire

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Good reaction by Red Bull

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A chance for de Lie perhaps, but a sector is coming up.

 

[Netserk]

group should go clear on the next one

 

[Samamba]

A chance for de Lie perhaps, but a sector is coming up.

It's 1'20. No way he can come back

He also has the '"bad luck" that he's important enough to have a moto with a camera next to him so he can't just ride behind his car (read, cheat) like they normally do

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Next sector:
Maing à Quérénaing (*****) (2.5km)
slightly uphill.

 

[Samamba]

The top guys are going now

Elitegroup should be clear after this sector

 

[Ilmaestro99]

In the last 2 years there have been a number of race threads in which roughly 3 pages of the thread are dedicated to comments about de lie wasting energy, his bad tactics, bad teammates, bad luck, and that his race is over. Then after those 3 pages he ends up winning. Could be another today

 

[Netserk]

vermeersch will be hard to get rid off

 

[Samamba]

Hagenes is so good this year

Segaert trying to bridge. That would be 2 really strong riders

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Hagenes goes again, Segaert on the pursuit

 

[Netserk]

Hagenes is so good this year

good that he was only reserve for pn and didnt risk getting sick

 

[Samamba]

Hagenes and Segaert could actually be gone here.

 

[Netserk]

i think he takes it

 

[Samamba]

I think Del Grosso goes now

 

[pastronef]

am I mistaken or they're riding backwards compared to Roubaix? the names of the sectors sound in the other direction?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

AWP is looking good

 

[QueenStagiaire]

De Lie with his millionth mechanical
