I like watching them, riding them myself is not so much, I'm probably a bit too light for them.BigMac said:I love power descents.

Yeah, that was a rookie mistake, the only problem is that it wasn't made by the rookie...liamito said:poor tactics by talansky

Anyway, I thought Costa was more of a time-trialist. Obviously climbing well in Utah just means he climbs well in Utah but it's highly impressive for such a young kid.

Very deserved victory, he was the strongest today.
The thing with the U23 level is that sometimes it's very close to the top level those riders will ever achieve. Not saying Costa will be like that but some dutch or danish riders had a great hype only to fail in meeting the expectations in the pro peloton.Samamba said:trevim said:To me it looked a lot like lack of legs but I only watched the final km's.liamito said:poor tactics by talansky

Costa can do everything. Climbing, TT, hills, cobbles... He's incredible.
His performance tells something about the level of u23 racing these days btw. It's not like he's winning everything there.
