Lesser known races 2026 edition

[Rob5091]

QS taking no chances for stage 2 - going full gas from 40 km out and splitting the peloton.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Breakaway caught with 29km remaining, QS doing the work in the front of peloton

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Huge attack from garofoli!!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

How can you have so much trouble with the connection in nice weather? Just no cellphone reception?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Zana attacks over the top

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I got distracted and don't understand the race situation but you have van bekum off the front, then a GC group of 20 riders and then bigger group behing

Fausto is in the GC group 😍

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Van Bekkum doesn‘t currently look like he can keep it up, but you can never tell unless you‘ve seen the rider a bunch of times. The peloton is coming back.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Great effort from van bekum here. The Moto probably helps.

 

[Rob5091]

All together with 5km to go ....

 

[search]

who do we have here to sprint? Donati vs Ballabio? Or did Rajovic make it over the bumps?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Donati looks to be one of the favorites here.

 

[search]

Balmer attacks, so Rajovic must be dropped

 

[QueenStagiaire]

What a dumb finish.

perfectly designed finish. Who doesn't love a sprint for the corner

 

[pastronef]

what's a bend 20 meters before the finish?

On cobbles as well?

 

[Faserr]

Fietzke closed it and Donati finished it off.
It was basically a sprint to this stupid corner.

 

[Tim Cahill]

No Hollywood riders here so the CPA won't care, same with a downhill finish into a bed in the last 100m at the weekend

 

[Rob5091]

A rookie wins! Did n't QS look at the roadbook?!

 

[search]

Garibbo lost 2 minutes, if I got that right?

Donati is much faster.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Garibbo lost 2 minutes, if I got that right?

What happened, he was in the front group of 15 after the climbs?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Good day of racing despite the finish. Much better than some desert nonsense. Garofoli is a crazy rider, attacking all day and coming 2nd in the sprint

not sure, I'm watching on Rai and don't understand Italian much.

Where I now see an Italian winner interviewed in English, translated to Italian, by the way.

edit: Garibbo still leads, I got that wrong.

the suisse sprint in 2016 was the right way to do it
