Schynberg Rundfahrt won by Camenzind looks to be a race at national level in Switzerland as well.
I see that it functioned as the NC in 1997. So it's counted twice.
I’m also not sure about that Luk Challenge Crono, which seems to be some kind of pair time trial. Was that really a professional race?
Yes, and a quite common format in the past.

Yates not in top shape, but look forward to see who is actual team leader at the Giro -

32-year-old Yates has been given a leadership role for the 2025 Giro d'Italia alongside Juan Ayuso and is then expected to ride in support of Pogačar at the Tour de France.

"I'm not actually in top shape right now. I need to be good for a long time later in the year. I'm happy to be at this level and fight for the win. It's a good sign for the future."
 
So much for all the high tech, but is n't it time to get radios that work?

Ayuso rode through the hilly terrain with Mattias Skjelmose chasing by himself as well, but with a peloton that simply couldn't close the gap on neither who were on a super day. Ayuso reveals that he actually had to do this without radio or guidance from the team.

"From halfway through the race, my earbuds stopped working. When I was alone in the lead, I never knew the gaps to Skjelmose, I didn't know anything," he admits. "That's why I kept asking the bike. It told me 50 seconds at one point, then I looked behind me and saw it... That's when I pushed to the maximum to distance him again, and it did it".
