And he looks good again on the last stage


@Armchair Cyclist can we add this thread to the rider directory? Thanks in advance.

 

[Salvarani]

Great ride and stage-win today!

Congrats kid

 

[Juan Pelota]

Is he the youngest American winner of a world tour race?

Is he the youngest American winner of a world tour race?

Seems to have lemond beat by a few months and armstrong by more than a year. Granted there are much younger riders winning these days.

Anyone have insight into his role at Romandie? Looks like INEOS is bringing Onley, which I would assume is the GC leader? https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-de-romandie/2026/startlist

Would love to see if the kid could hang with the big boys.
