2025 Races with Spoilers.

[Dogtrousers]

I watched a bit of stage one of the women's Tour de Suisse. A bit of a weird day. Reusser and Vollering got away as a pair. Followed by Kasia N in a group of 3, and then a peloton with plenty of riders seemingly happy with that tootling along behind. I didn't see the bit where the front 2 got away and how. So now Reusser and Vollering have over a minute on everyone else.

The Tour de Suisse warm-up race, "The Big Prize of Aargau", is this afternoon, with many of the TdS starters using this as a leg-stretching opportunity. Not all teams are taking part, so the Swiss National team is fielding a stacked lineup:

Michael Matthews has been withdrawn from this race, the TdS, and also the TdF due to medical reasons.

Just seen the results that the first SD Worx rider was over 7 minutes back, did something happen to Mischa Bredewold? Everyone else managed to get riders away

The Giro Next Gen starting tomorrow, hopefully an interesting battle between Widar and Withen

Quite a stacked field I believe. Noah Hobbs and Jørgen Nordhagen also riding

Ben Wiggins is there as well, but not as a leader. I'll also be keeping an eye out for Peter Øxenberg and Theodor Storm, who who are Ineos riders that currently ride for Lotto Kern-Haus PSD Bank (CT), the dev team Ineos partner with

Here's me hoping Adam Rafferty can have a good ITT at the Giro Next Gen today.

Reusser dominating the final stage of the TdS. Looks like she could be a threat to Vollering at the TDFF.

Niewiedoma beats Vollering in the sprint for second too.

Impressive ride by Reusser

 

[mididoctors]

Same course as the men S1 . Small bunch sprint vibe

 

[red.rider]

Reusser, Kasia, Vollering, and Niamh FB came over the top together. Reusser then TT’d away on the downhill and lakeside run-in.

NB: yes that is a dog in a Movistar jersey in the background

Decent day for the French....Lenny in Dauphine and Gregoire with a win at Tour de Suisse with Kevin Vauquelin taking second place.
Joao Almeida gives a two minute advantage away in Stage 1 to BenO.....or is he just blagging it 🤣
