Lesser known races 2026 edition

[RedheadDane]

The first five wheels in the peloton have gone clear, none belongs to Fausto.

So, one guy on a unicycle?

Buitrago attack

 

[Cycling111]

We all know the teams that pull in a race always win, this is why nobody ever questions the tactic of working at the front. As long as Tudor does the chase work in LBL this year, Alaphilippe will win with a solo.

I said UAE and EF. EF have 0 wins LOL.
I already explained that in the previous message.

If it's Fausto it would explain his drop in performance the past few years.

Poor guy...

 

[Cycling111]

Diego Ulissi in the chasing grupo. It would be his 17th season with a victory.

 

[SafeBet]

The tension of not knowing who's going to win... or anything else about this race.

It takes place in Italy.

 

[Samamba]

12 seconds for Buitrago

Ulissi in 4th already more than 40s behind

 

[Cycling111]

I suppose this will mean they'll be lose the race category in 2027.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

It takes place in Italy.

In and around Laigueglia to be exact.

 

[Squire]

12 seconds for Buitrago

Should be it. Gregoire probably getting caught by the group behind.

Edit: Okay nevermind, now Ulissi is suddenly solo half a minute behind. Gregoire not getting caught. Vermaerke not doing a great job for Morgado then.

It takes place in Italy.

It should be in Vietnam, there would be a broadcast.

 

[Samamba]

Gregoire closing down on Buitrago. Only 8s. Would be pretty insane if he manages to win it

Surely desert sprinter Tiberi would have a say in that. Can't not beat Gregoire somehow if he's been sitting on for 8 or so kilometres.

See? That's why I said it wasn't reliable
Suddenly meaningless changes.

No that's why I would call it insane if he does it.

But he seems to be cracking now. 18s. Buitrago about to win. Well played from Bahrain, even tho we haven't seen what actaully happened

 

[Cycling111]

So, Ulissi with 500 years has dropped Morgado... Morgado's shape state seems to end earlier every year.

 

[Tim Cahill]

I will remember February 2025 and 2026 Morgado with fondness

Because is an Italian race we won't even get any information about the race or confirmation of results before tomorrow lunchtime

Probably just a case of Buitrago being great on steep climbs (and the three in front being the strongest in the race today). And while Gregoire is punchy, 2km at 8.4% is quite a significant climb and somewhere he could well lose out to more proper climbers.

Has seemed like a good race. Shame we couldn't see it.

 

[Cycling111]

Luckily, this isn't Buitrago's first professional victory, n case he wanted to show it to his grandchildren in the future.

 

[Squire]

Managed to beat Tiberi still. So a little bit insane.
