Lesser known races thread 2021

[TourOfSardinia]

It has a thread, silly.

Thread! Where?

 

[RedheadDane]

Thread! Where?

In the top, among the stickies.

 

[jaylew]

Cholet - Pays de la Loire coming down to the final 12k. Looking like a sprint finish. Will Bouhanni or Viviani finally get a win?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Cosnefroy attacks on the final hill. Ghirmay and Barthe go with him.

 

[jaylew]

They could make this stick. Barthe not working with the other 2

 

[jaylew]

This will be close

Maybe not.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

All back together inside the final kilometer. Viviani wins, Bouhanni will be DSQd for riding Stewart into the boarding I think.

 

[Bonimenier]

Viviani wins, some acrobatics from that Groupama rider to not crash.

 

[RedheadDane]

Viviani takes it! Stewart got smashed against the barriers.

 

[tobydawq]

Shocking.

 

[jaylew]

Viviani finally wins again. Not a good move from Bouhanni on Jake Stewart there.

 

[Bonimenier]

Bouhanni pushing Stewart three times in that sprint... Especially the last one was disgraceful.

[SafeBet]

First win in the Cofidis jersey for Viviani.

 

[RedheadDane]

First win in the Cofidis jersey for Viviani.

Well, for Elia, meanwhile Attilio already has two; one of them before he even signed with them.

 

[Wvv]

First win in the Cofidis jersey for Viviani.

Very happy for Elia. Liked him since his very first pro race, enjoyed his time as dominant sprinter at QuickStep and felt sorry for the difficulties he had after leaving the pack.

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Bruh Bouhanni, how...?

 

[tobydawq]

Well, for Elia, meanwhile Attilio already has two; one of them before he even signed with them.

Yes, but he wasn't speaking about him.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes, but he wasn't speaking about him.

No, but I still think it's funny that Cofidis signed the (for the 2019 season) biggest sprint star... and then his younger brother had more success at first.

 

[Breezy1985]

Surely a nice ban coming for Nacer

 

[RedheadDane]

Bouhanni's placing, according to PCS:

1008

BOUHANNI Nacer

Team Arkéa Samsic

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Viviani, like Sagan yesterday, getting back to winning ways sprinting against no competition.

Bouhanni, ffs.

 

[BlueRoads]

I hope all of you doubters saw the heroic achievement by Godon, who after making his effort still sprinted to 4th, @Armchair cyclist .

 

[BlueRoads]

Happy for Viviani, by the way. Yes, he earns a lot of money, but there must be so much pressure on him.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Surely a nice ban coming for Nacer

There should be. I doubt there will be, because UCI turns a blind eye if no crash.
