[hrotha]

I had no idea Mollema had won this. I'm beginning to think that kid is genuinely amazing.

 

[DAOTEC]

It is a monster a cycling 'Bolt' and it's coming ....

Mercredi 25 Août 2010 | Daniel Teklehaymanot believes in the Future.

Daniel Teklehaymanot is in full preparation for the Tour de l'Avenir. "Because of this, I am a little tired right now," said the Eritrean at the UCI Global Centre for cycling where he is stationed.
Last year, he finished sixth overall and 6th in the stage with a mountaintop finish at Gerardmer.
"This year, I have great hopes for a podium place for the Tour de l'Avenir" said Daniel [www.cyclismag.com].
As a preparation, he will race the 'classique de Châteauroux' in the jersey from Cervélo.
Team Cervélo took Daniel as an intern after the contacts made by Thèze Michel, manager of the CMC staff.
"I'll be running a race in Italy with Cervélo, after the Tour de l'Avenir." Says Teklehaymanot.

[Moondance]

Starts in Vierzon... Nice.... If only they could also pass by Vesoul and Honfleur my life would be totally complete

Jacques Brel would totally be my man crush if he were still alive

Also, those are some pretty tough climbs for a U23 race... Do they usually have that difficult a parcours?

"Amsterdam" is the greatest song ever written. When both Scott Walker and David Bowie can do your song, and never come even close to doing it justice, you know you have an amazing song on your hands.

 

[craig1985]

Now why can't we use stages 8 and 11 for the Tour de France?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Now why can't we use stages 8 and 11 for the Tour de France?

The latter one, to Risoul, was the same finish as the one in the Dauphiné when Vogondy won ahead of Sicard and Brajkovic. In the top levels it is one of those climbs that narrows it down to an elite group but doesn't really open up huge time gaps, but in an u23 race I expect it will tear things apart.

 

[uphillstruggle]

Now why can't we use stages 8 and 11 for the Tour de France?

There are rumours of a stage finish in Risoul for next years tour. I have know idea whether the route there would be the same. Anyone know if eurosport will show any of the race?

 

[theyoungest]

Great parcours. Wonder who will ride for NL. Tom Jelte Slagter and Tom Dumoulin seem obvious candidates.

 

[Parrulo]

2008 J. Bakelants | R. A. Costa | A. Jeannesson

is that my rui costa? ;___;

since i spent every single day from the 1st august till god knows when, in the hospital last year, i totally missed that result =/

 

[kurtinsc]

Any kind of start list yet?

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

The GB team racing will include:

- Luke Rowe (3rd Junior Omloop Het Volk 2007, winner of 2009 ZLM tour and more recently the GP Poggiana in Italy)
- Andy Fenn (Winner of 2008 Junior Paris Roubaix and current GB U23 road race champion
- Mark Christian (another cyclist from the Isle of Mann)
- Alex Dowsett (Formerly of Trek Livestrong. Current European U23 time trial champion, recent leader at Tour of Utah. Rumoured to be signing for Team Sky for next season)
- Plus 2 others, likely to be younger riders for development for the future. Maybe Erick Rowsell and Tim Kennaugh. Possibly Josh Edmonson (4th in this years Junior World road race champs.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Great parcours. Wonder who will ride for NL. Tom Jelte Slagter and Tom Dumoulin seem obvious candidates.

I expect slagter to contend this. Should do well in the mountains, providing his form is there.

 

[jesper]

Tour de L´Avenir Live?

Hi
Is it possible to see this race live on internet?
Thanks

 

[DAOTEC]

Oh yes jesper nobody want's to miss this one that is running parallel to the Vuelta for 8 days ...

I will put up a list with as many Tickers, Streams, Live (France3) and M to M, from various country's no later than September 4, and repeat them up to date with every stage.

You can find a lot on the 2010 website jesper on page one of this thread and here for you again:
http://www.letour.fr/indexTDA_fr.html

And here is the French list with Tickers and Life where l'Avenir 2010 is already listed:

Startlist update:

http://www.directvelo.com/direct-velo/actualites/9886/tour-de-l-avenir-les-partants.html

 

[tgsgirl]

Keukeleire should be going. He asked Cofidis if he could join the Belgian team in Tour de L'Avenir as prep for the U23 Worlds, and Cofidis gave him permission to do so.

 

[Nastyy]

Seems like Geniez is the big favorite here. Who else should I look for?

 

[roundabout]

I'm curious what Saggiorato can do.

 

[joy118118]

Still no USA team? interested in how good TP will be.

 

[tgsgirl]

Seems like Geniez is the big favorite here. Who else should I look for?

Yannick Eijssen can climb. He's BMC-bound for 2011.

I'll also be keeping an eye out for Marko Kump, Jan Tratnik, John Degelknob and Daniel Teklehaimanot.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I'd keep an eye out for Michal Kwiatkowski. I don't think he can win or will, but I think we could see a bit from him on the trickier stages. He was up the road more or less every day in Castilla y León and Asturias.

 

[sublimit]

Alex Dowsett should get the prologue if he rides, he got within a couple of seconds of Taylor Phinney a week or so ago at the Tour Of Utah prologue.

No idea on the overall win though.

Doesn't Taylor Phinney ride it as well?

 

[Kwibus]

I will definately cheer for Daniel Teklehaimanot.

A good rider from Eritrea... that's quite special if you ask me
