Lesser known races 2026 edition

[Tim Cahill]

The disrespected Ivan Sosa, 8 General classification wins in his career, looking for the 9th.

I watched him in the Colombian championships lose a 30 second gap to Bernal within 2 minutes on a descent.

 

[SafeBet]

Sosa is climbing fast, but he also looks like he could explode any minute.

Has never looked different though.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Buchmann done

 

[Tim Cahill]

He's absolutely gone, it's like La Redoute at the weekend, gap is 20 seconds not 8.

 

[Netserk]

ineos should sign this talent he can be a new bernal

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I would enjoy this sosa performance but I can picture the smug grin on sami Cuencas face knowing he is getting more cq points, really not good

 

[Netserk]

boogie should have been in frankfurt instead

Where are the unknown Turkish conti riders looking incredible doing the entire climb in the big ring anyway.

isn't there one around 4th on the road? Or what team is it with the dark jerseys

I would enjoy this sosa performance but I can picture the smug grin on sami Cuencas face knowing he is getting more cq points, really not good

That battle for last in the CQ game is possibly more entertaining than the amazing race to most top10 without a win.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Abel Balderstone is picking off riders like Pantani on Oropa!!!

MBH Bank?

MBH Bank?

ah yeah, could be Fancellu

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I still expect someone will come back from behind and beat him, like Bernal did at the Colombian NC.

Could only get a long shot but it looked like the famous navy of ATT Investments.

Edit: Maybe MBH Bank

Bogy will always stay in Lankwitz.

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's Kern-Pharma's wildcard at the Vuelta this year, too the IRS/Berrade/Ibon Ruiz trident is going to go hard.

 

[Samamba]

One of these WT or top Pro teams that need to fight for points should absolutely get a rider like Fancellu

And Berwick ofc, but he might have better offers. Has been good all year.

 

[Netserk]

berwick is the new purito

 

[Samamba]

Berwick is zooming

 

[Tim Cahill]

Climb about 500m too short for Berwick

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sosa lost 5 seconds on that 30 metre shallow descent at the end there

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Vino 6th. Good performance!!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Climb about 500m too short for Berwick

Feslikan could prove to be too long for him, but you can of course die and be resurrected many times in 21 km.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The berrick/badlerstoner duo will give uae nightmares in July

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Astana getting 6th, 7th, and 8th. They must have thought it was a one-day race.
