Lenny Martínez has had a strong first season with Bahrain - Victorious with victories all-year round in all kinds of races. He has closed it off with another triumph, this time around at the Japan Cup which together with several other races today, closes out the UCI calendar for the season.
The Frenchman was able to take advantage of his climbing abilities in the 144-kilometer long race, which featured a hilly circuit around the town of Utsunomiya. On the final lap, already from a very short group that had been formed previously, Martínez launched a devastating attack which saw him go solo off the front.
The 22-year old managed to ride to a solo win, winning with a comfortable margin in the end holding off the chase of Alex Baudin and Ion Izagirre who worked together to finish second and third in the meantime behind.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
