Lesser known races 2026 edition

[Tricycle Rider]

Looking for MHB ballan to try something please lads

I just realized Masnada is in this race, where's @Ilmaestro99 at?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Looks like Fausto is there near the head of the peleton. Working for teammate

There you are, never mind my prior post.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Mifsud is a proper rider

 

[Tim Cahill]

Diego Rosa springs out of the peloton, looking to write a few historical wrongs

WHAT AN IDIOT!

"Hurrr durrr! Look at me!"

 

[Tricycle Rider]

The feck is an amateur cyclist doing on the course?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A clown on the road....

 

[Tim Cahill]

That's Jonas Vingegaard in the black kit!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Polti blocking like a hockey team.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

No tactics boys.......

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Coquard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Salvarani]

Coquard!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Coquard delivers!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lotto did well to have 5 at the last k but lost and crashed, down on their luck, looked really bad into the barriers too

 

[RedheadDane]

Coquard wins.
Crash in the finish.

Amateur hour in the final kilometer. Some rando crosses the road five seconds before the peloton gets to the zebra crossing in full leadout mode. Insane. And then a crash into an official standing inside the barriers (they would have crashed anyway to be fair).

 

[Tim Cahill]

Someone from Kern Pharma made a massive deviation way down in the bunch it seemed, De Schuyteneer 2nd in the end

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The quick Coq turns back the clock. First win in France in almost three years.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

MBH Bank ballan in 4th place! Great sprint by buratti! Good effort from the team today

Those were not Lotto riders I think, there's a team with very similar jerseys, I think it a swiss conti team.

Anyways in comparison to Palma Lotto actually did a good leadout, not coming too early like they usually do. Coquard just stronger than De Schuyteneer here.
