WT teams are not allowd in l'Avenir. And it's stupid anyway. l'Avenir is like a 2.2 field at best.SafeBet said:Yeah in 2 years he can probably go for the Double: Tour + Tour de l'Avenir.
He could theoretically stay with a pro continental team, then he could participate in both. Also, I thought the rules were changed recently to allow WT riders to race it, for example Sebastian Henao raced it two years ago, but has that been reversed then?Red Rick said:WT teams are not allowd in l'Avenir.

No, WT riders are still eligible. It just depends on age, not on professional status. Gaudu was close to confirming his participation this year, who is obviously a WT rider.Vasilis said:He could theoretically stay with a pro continental team, then he could participate in both.

Now I'm really confusedRicco' said:Soler also won it while being a Movistar rider.
And regarding last post, WT riders who still are aged u-23 can participate in the U23 World Championships, as for example Erik Baska, who was 13th last year while being a Tinkoff rider.

Still three teammates for Bernal, so the tough talk of the Australians has resulted in nothing.
Hamilton himself said that everything was still possible in the GC as long as they could isolate Bernal on Madeleine. The truth is that they likely didn't even try to do so.Samamba said:DNP-Old said:![]()

What though talk?
They said yesterday that Bernal was obviously the strongest and that they were gonna try to put Hamilton on the podium.
Is that pic from today, I don't see knox wearing the polka dot jersey?
