Lesser known races 2026 edition

[Libertine Seguros]

It's exciting that they've discovered La Bobia and the Arredondas climbs... but mad that they've discovered them from these sides, with the steep and tricky descents but shallower climbs. Bodes well for future years though. Western Asturias has always been kinda hidden away from racing because there's so few population centres.

Delighted for Nairo. I love to see an old campaigner getting one last shot at glory.

He looks good to take the overall. Tomorrow's stage doesn't look too problematic. He just needs to hold on during the last couple of hills on Sunday.

It might be the last win of his career, but I'm cautiously optimistic that he will play an animated figure in a few more races during the year.

Bravo Nairoman!!!

Seems like the tounge lashing after stage 1 paid off! A bettter ambiance in the buss after today I'll guess.
Nairoman does the business so chapeau! (and I see a certain Chumil made the top 10 - vamos! )
