A couple of mentions from today's Nokere Koerse. Obviously a couple of crashes shredded the peloton so not many were left, but good placings from Timo Kielich and Lewis Askey.

Won today… This man will be good.

Will be good like Boonen in Flanders, and good like Kroon in the Ardennes. You heard it first, here!… :)

And like Verstappen in races that finish on a racing circuit.

Terrific performance so far in Catalunya by Lennert Van Eetvelt. Ciabatta and Lenny are heavily hyped (with good reason) but I feel like this guy is a little under the radar in terms of neo pro climbers.

7th today in Sicilia…

He‘s still riding CT - crazy!… Look at his results… Deserves to ride for a Top-10 WT team, as soon as possible…

Noticed him last year already. Hope he soon signs WT contract…

I'm not sure there are enough WT spots available for all the riders you believe have the potential/ability ;)

But I did notice Pesenti last year, and I think he might deserve to be picked up by one of the Italian ProTeams.

Hey guys, just noticed that Swiss Stefan Rütimann is back in the peloton…

He was a great rider for then Vini Caldirola/Tacconi Sport, at GS1 level (which is WT today).

His current team is Taurus Cycling: promising team, which wants to become CT (when they even reach PCT level, they could ride TdS and Romandie)…

Stefan is still fast and kind of a mentor to their younger riders. Similar to Chris Froome at ISN…

Yeah, Pantano is back in the peloton, just days after the end of his ban:


Good news :)
