Got to hate that young rider hypes (in this case Hepburn). Sure very talented guy, but he didn't show anything yet at proranks. (apart from 4th in TT Slovenia) What makes you think he'll beat the likes of Chavanel, Terpstra, Westra, ...
Moser got overhyped also, he is one of the best talents...
Sure there are some talents, I mean Herrada isn't bad eather. And Verona obviously is talented, but it's just not the best generation from Spain.
To bad Simon had to drop a level, I thought he was pretty talented also at the start of the prev. season. But now I can't see him become a subtopper...

No one mentions Davide Formolo & Valerio Conti ?
