Lesser known races 2026 edition

[Statze2]

Buchmann, is the living evidence how much cycling changed in the last years. From 4th in the Tour de France and Podium at the Criterium de Dauphine - to mention him as last Person in an MTF in the tour of turkiye. From my Point of View he didnt get slower but he was also Not progressing. No punch/kick and no TT - just good climbing is Not enough these days.

The man who came 10th at the Tour last year is also here - Jegat for Total Energies.

Watching a bit too much cycling when you look at a profile and think this one has Abel Baldestones name written all over it.

surely not enough, but Turkey could still be a decent race for him, although more likely the long climb later in the race.

Yesterday he lost a minute due to a mechanical, but in this field it honestly shouldn't matter much. In his prime, he'd still win GC.
