Clément Champoussin; the old Matteo Jorgenson, but the next Aurelien Paret-Peintre, the next Nans Peters, the next Pierre Latour.

Where does Blel Kadri feature on the Jorgenson-French Guys Chain? Before Latour?Champou looks like he'll be more of a Nans - both emulating Blel Kadri and turning into riders who will pull off the occasional GT stage win, but that will be their high water mark. Great for depth in any squad, but headliners for GTs nor the biggest weeklong stage races.
Are y'all ready for the alphabet soup when I start the Romain Grégoire-thread? That boy can TT as well.

He looked like an absolute beast in Laigueglia on the climb. Matching Bernal who would podium strade bianche 3 days later.This year his climbing performances were very mediocre until the third week of the Vuelta. The stage to Lagos de Covadonga was likely his best ever performance on a long climb (actually on multiple long climbs). He collapsed the day after losing 14 minutes on Gamoniteiru but bounced back beautifully on Saturday. The stage he won was better suited to his current skillset but it also says his recovery is probably better than I expected, although he's obviously still inconsistent.
Going forward I expect him to target hilly one day races (he looked good in Faun Ardeche Classic and Laigueglia earlier this season) and some shorter stage races like Itzulia or Tirreno Adriatico, but I wouldn't rule out an improvement even in GTs. He finished 16th in this Vuelta, which isn't bad for a 23 years old rider.

Void - didn't come through the Chambery (now renamed AG2R U23)-team unlike the aforementioned. Whilst Blel came through at Albi, Chambery in 2008 had Julien Berard, Guillaume Bonnafond and Thomas Damuseau as their biggest hitter plus Kneisky more known from the track and Houanard of infamy.Where does Blel Kadri feature on the Jorgenson-French Guys Chain?
