Lesser known races thread 2021

[Samu Cuenca]

And then he bumped into Halvorsen who lost the win to Groves on the line.

Halvorsen did get the win. Well done by him and Uno-X.

 

[glassmoon]

Hodeg got lost again.

And he probably also lost the yellow jersey to Sagan...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Meanwhile there's less than 10 km left in Italy, where Williams and Pernsteiner control the pace for Colbrelli.
Can he do it once more, or will it finally be Trentin time again?

GC

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Zana attacks with 2 km to go!
But this isn't the U23 ranks, so he's caught again.

 

[Netserk]

Sagan's fourth stage race victory is within reach: Giro di Sardegna (2011), Tour de Pologne (2011), Tour of California (2015), and possibly now Tour de Slovaquie (2021).

 

[Samu Cuenca]

[roundabout]

oh ffs, Trentin.

 

[Bonimenier]

Does anybody know where Albanese will ride next year? He's good enough to be on a WT-team.

He is?

 

[Keram]

I realized tha Pozzo is starting at Slovakia tour

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like it could be a day for the break over in Slovakia. Not least because Sagan himself is in the break.
Or maybe it's a rather reduced peloton, I dunno...

Any one got a feed with commentary?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Is that Froomey in the front group looking at his stem?

 

[Netserk]

Sagan and Steimle have both collected 4 bonus seconds on the route today, so the gap between them in GC is still 5''.

I just found some German commentating on the ES player.
Bit hard for me to follow, but... easier than Slovak would have been.

Looks like it.

 

[tobydawq]

Yes.

 

[BlueRoads]

Steimle is in the break as well, but no other DQS whereas there's a bunch of Boras...

It's one of the worst German commentators, he's friendly but not really worth following anyway.

 

[tobydawq]

Sagan and Steimle have each collected 4 bonus seconds on the route today, so the gap between them in GC is still 5''.

And Steimle is all alone in the group.

How did Bora even pull this off? Looking at the profile it seemed extraordinarily flat for such a development to come to pass.

Less than fourty days after breaking his knee in Burgos...

Start of the stage. According to the live ticker, it happened between km 37 and 55.

 

[yaco]

Sagan should have no problem with Steinle as Groves who was strong yesterday is in the front group

 

[tobydawq]

Start of the stage.

Sure, but still surprising.

 

[RedheadDane]

And I think he might even have managed to sneak into the break. Saw a rather short Qhubeka rider at the back of the group.
Edit: Yup! It's him.
