2026 Races....Spoilers.

[Hommelbier]

15km one lone chaser (Honere) at c2min, peloton at 2min 20

 

[Hommelbier]

Now at 10km - gap at 1 48 to chaser and 2min+ to peloton. MvdP wants to win this race.

 

[Hommelbier]

MvdP has been out in front for 175km+ and looks to have this race inthe bag with 5km left and a gap of 1 40 over the chaser and over 2min to peloton

 

[Hommelbier]

Excellent win for MvdP. Piganzoli retains the GC on this final stage.

So was this a bet with Pogacar or something?
175km solo is nuts

Boring apparently acc to Pog haters and ruining the sport!! But it sounds like something from 70 years ago. But that's MvDP on his terrain.

I find it boring when Pog does it, as he does it all the time and everybody knows there's next to no chance of bringing him back.
MvdP doing it from 175km is slightly different I think....

But could become the norm for him to go long especially if Pog went with him.

Then it’s not solo though

 

[Dorset Boy]

Been a good training race for MvdP - won the first and last stages, and 175 kms solo is nuts, especially to win the stage too.

Good couple of days for 22 year old Danish Uno-X Vikings

Carl-Frederik Bévort got his first pro win in stage 2 of the CRO race
Tobias Svarre refused to be outdone and got his first pro win in stage 3 and went into the leaders jersey

Svarre beat notorious cat-killer Antonio Tiberi and World-Champs avoider Tim Wellens for his win, which I think we'll all be reasonably pleased about.

Rumours are that 21 year old Henrik Pedersen is claiming he should get a win now, as he'll be 22 later this year, but management point out he already won the Flandrian Classic less than a week ago, so maybe it's time to let a Norwegian have a go.

These are Uno-X's last fifteen victories (inc. Nat champs)

What do you notice about them? (It's genuinely remarkable when you see it)

Genuinely no idea. The Norwegians win the GT stages, the Danes specialise in chippers?

 

[Flite]

15 different riders?

Correct. 15 wins with 15 different riders



I'm filing @DeadCalm's response in the "they all look the same to me" pile seeing as he didn't spot it. Such terrible racism 😱 😉
