Lesser known races results 2015

[Maaaaaaaarten]

They made it! Lampaert won the stage. He's the leader in the GC now I guess. Gougeard should have overtaken some in the GC as well, he was also in the front group. Good racing for a 170km flat stage with the Kwaremont somewhere in the middle of the stage as the only obstacle!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Impressive stuff from Lampaert and Gougeard. Not only in this race but lately in general.

Langkawi surely deserves its own thread?

Guardini in some order this year was always going do well back in Langkawi, interesting battles with Ewan ahead.

 

[Ruudz0r]

It really sucks Genting Highlands is cancelled, but Frasier Hill is an okay replacement. Always a cool race to watch especially now teams are often bringing their talents as team leaders.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Danny van Poppel wins final stage in West-Flanders.
Lampaert wins GC

 

[Akuryo]

Danny van Poppel wins final stage in West-Flanders.
Lampaert wins GC

He also took home points and young rider jerseys.

Aww I didn't know that, Genting is a pretty nice climb indeed.

Do you by any chance know how difficult Fraser's hill is? Are we still going to see a Kudus vs. Henao battle?

 

[trevim]

He also took home points and young rider jerseys.

Good ride by Lampaert, it must be great to be a young cobbles talent in an awesome team like Ettix. Now he just has to wait like 6 years and he gets to lead in Roubaix

 

[trevim]

Danny van Poppel wins final stage in West-Flanders.
Lampaert wins GC

Good one Danny, one of the few sprinters I care about. Hopefully he gets a shot at some serious cobbles like GW. And the legendary Scheldprijs obviously

 

[jaylew]

Langkawi surely deserves its own thread?

Yeah, we've gotten pretty lazy with race threads this year so far.

Guardini's going to win all remaining flat stages? I'm hoping one of the young guns can steal at least one.

They can drop him tommorow for sure. Otherwise, he may win all of them and lead the race all the way untill the MTF on penultimate stage.

Depends which side they climb from. The west side is long and gradual (like, Big Bear gradual), but the east side, though still not steep, may break things up a bit.

Not that much though, since Mirsamad Pourseyedi isn't here to destroy the field from the bottom of the climb.

reguigui seemed to come pretty close to Ewan, looked pretty angry

Don't think that exaggerated kicker at the end of stage 5 can impact action much, so more of the same methinks:

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Not so sure, I can see Guardini losing too many positions on it. Reguigui to finally win?
