    Tour de l'Avenir 2016, August 20-27

    I was especially supprized by the broad climbing strength by the Australians. Of course they were known as talented, but it strikes that they all delivered, at least in one stage. Schultz, Hindley, Storer, Hamilton, who is the most talented?

    Transfers and Rumours 2015 > 2016

    Tour de l'Avenir 2015, August 22 - August 29

    Anyone who have more information about the progress of the first stage? How did Wurtz Schmidt get second? And was Consonni really the fastest sprinter from the bunch or was it just a flat sprint? (wondered by the strong 4th place of Godrie and disappionting 9th from Gaviria)

    Tour de l'Avenir 2015, August 22 - August 29

    Does anyone already knows something about the GreatBrittain selection? I assume that Peters and Geoghegan will ride somewhere else as Sky stagiaires? Than possibly the team will look a lot like their national team at the Ride London Classic? With Scott Davies as their team leader..?

    Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

    He would be a good leadout man, and is verry strong in the one-day classics (cobbles and sprint classics). Thus it won't supprise me if he goes to a team like Sky, OPQS, former Belkin, Giant or BMC (since they seem te select on time trialing skills). However MTN seems in pole position.

    Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

    I remember Gilbert said once that Blythe was a hugh cobble prospect, however he never proved that in a race as far I know.
