Enzo Hincapie - next American Tour winner

[laarsland]

I don't see the point of this thread, or the article on the news part of this website. He didn't win that race mentioned in the article and he didn't even finish in the top 10. Fair enough he's a 13 year old who's getting half decent in races that fully grown adults are competing in and doing quite well in races in his category, but there are many years between now and even first year as a junior. Things change and many riders develop differently through adolescence meaning that quite a few on the local scene (let alone national scene) could catch up to him by the time Hincapie is 17/18.

I have to admit the thread being a meta-snipe at the article. But also covering my bases in case he’d better than Matteo, best have a good thread.

But then why didn't you find a list of "nexts", all the way back to George?

 

[laarsland]

He ain’t the next Scifo, but he might still be decent

Guys, this is way too much pressure for the young kid, having his own thread and all. In fact his success may now never come of fruition...

Quite true. We've already crushed the career of Remco, who would have won 3 grand tours and at least 5 monuments by now if not for our meddling.

And I thought working on a thread for Santiago Basso was premature...

UCI should consider setting up a kid's world tour. Clearly, the demand is there.

Does that mean I can start the "Jacqueline & Valentine Boonen are the new Adam & Simon Yates (but with different chromosomes) thread"?

I'm gonna start a thread for the Barker/Folsach kid!
Dunno what surname the kid actually has, maybe both.

Are you talking about EH or laarsland?

I only know he's called Nicolaj.

Enzo Hincapie (EF Education-ONTO) edged Brady Hogue (Landis/Trek) in a two-rider sprint to win for a second consecutive year in the men ‘s 15-16 junior US Amateur Road National Championship

He might really be a big deal someday.

 

[Juan Pelota]

So he's 14 and won the 15-16 year old group National Championship?

Landis still got a team?🫡

Edit: it's not floyd

 

[DNP-Old]

He’s 15

He was 14 when he won.

His teammate Ashlin Barry (15) on the other hand regularly beats grown men, including Tyler Stites, who at worst is the second best American amateur, and Luke Valenti, and is roughly on the same level as Andrew August, one of the best juniors of his generation and who'll likely be at INEOS next year.

Well, it's always based on year born, not actual age.

 

[StryderHells]

He was 14 when he won.

You’re right! Didn’t realise the news was a little old.

Well he was 15 when I posted his age in this thread but he was 14 when he won that race.

That’s very impressive considering Stites just finished 3rd in the US elite men’s RR marginally ahead of Grand Tour stage winner Brandon McNulty.

Enzo is a talent no doubt.

 

[RedheadDane]

@Rob5091, regarding our talk about hyping riders extremely early... well... not quite kindergarten age. But still, he was 14 when this thread got started.
