Lesser known races 2026 edition

[James M]

Still a long way to go, Wellens could still crack (I wouldn't bet on it but it's possible), but these tactics are just weird.

Wellens vs 6 Pinarello guys seems like a fair fight.

Red Bull with Gianni, van gils or Pelizzari should send one of em to the front best same with moviestar. Still long way to go true saying that there shouldnt be any reason to wait now

 

[Netserk]

How have the other teams let this happen??

peloton split just before coverage, probably on the first gravel sector.

uae had 3 riders in the group, wellens attacked on the flat after the descent, and pidcock was back in the peloton

What's the odds for a UAE 1,2,3?

But how do you send Donovan with Wellens when you have Hermans in the group for example, or why did Red Bull let Wellens go. Like it's February Wellens in a UAE jersey.

Anyways, like I said earlier, it isn't over yet. Wellens is great, but he isn't Pogacar. But other teams are taking unnecessary risks for some reason.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Surprised not to see Mohoric up there. Did he puncture?

He's one of the 30ish I think - there are at least 3 Bahrain riders there. Not sure why he's missing from PCS

 

[Rou]

Steep wall. Pidders should move here or forget it.

Furthermore, Donovan has been collaborating with Wellens despite being Picock's teammate .

Four riders who should all be motivated to chase!

 

[Tim Cahill]

The angry Veermeersch looks really good, very solid form

 

[Cycling111]

Pidcock goes with three riders. Is this why Red Bull wanted to keep four riders in the group without pulling?

 

[Samamba]

So now 2 Pinarello guys dropped who didn't even do any work. Great stuff

 

[Cycling111]

So when is Christen going to attack?

Now

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

the cheek of red bull asking for help.

 

[Netserk]

christen eager to make another mistake

 

[Rou]

I hope Horner is watching this.
A lot of jewels coming out of this race.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Do nothing to help chase -> attack -> look around angrily asking people why they aren't helping the chase

Ah yes.

 

[Samamba]

Meme race

 

[Salvarani]

Go Tim!

 

[Cycling111]

Now Red Bull is pulling after 40 km at the pace of a coocked Donovan.

 

[Samamba]

Ah so now Red Bull starts riding.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

i think i might die of rage by october.

 

[Didinho]

UAE too strong in G2. But even without them they probably wouldn’t catch him. How did he even get in front so early, just dropped everyone?

 

[Netserk]

redbull in particular have disappointed

 

[Rou]

Now Pinarello started pulling again and gap started growing again

 

[Rou]

Almeida will be calling Tom after this race asking him did his balls grew after last Vuelta or not yet?
