Lesser known races 2026 edition

[Squire]

dont really know what to expect from the contenders today, few results to go off

Yeah, same. No idea if Kubis can defend himself either. The form book suggests he can, his rider type suggests maybe not. This is also a very peculiar TT.

just tuned in. Was it this wet all the time?

 

[Netserk]

yes

wet like this but no wind to speak of

[Samamba]

costieu very scary

Would be kinda hilarious if Tietema is 2nd in both stage and GC. Hope they win tho.

 

[Netserk]

super fast ascent by decomble

 

[Salvarani]

Decomble what a beast

Super-climb from him

 

[Netserk]

[Netserk]

kubis needs to be as fast as labrosse

 

[Salvarani]

Costiou smashes it as well

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ewen with a Ewan like sprint up the climb.

 

[Netserk]

sad noises

larsen wont even end on the podium

not in form for the climbs

 

[Netserk]

virtual gc

costiou
lapeira +3
decomble +12
larsen +18

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Lapeira threw everything at it, but not enough

 

[TastyGroceries]

I'm surprised by the performance of Costiou, I wasn't rating him high in TT, it's impressive he beats Decomble on this one (and Larsen as well, but the climb wasn't ideal for him).

 

[Salvarani]

sad noises

larsen wont even end on the podium

not in form for the climbs

I think he did alright on the climb and expected he would lose +10 seconds on it imo

 

[Netserk]

at least he didnt lose it in the sprint for 2nd yesterday

 

[Samamba]

TDT might even miss out on podium completely, that's harsh, but the 3 French favorites didn't disappoint tbh

I expected more from Lapeira in this race. At least a stage win.
