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.
Or like Schachmann in races that finishes in the wrong place.
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.
So he's Belgian with an Irish name and an Italian nickname?
Cian. Stupid autocorrect thinking I was talking food

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.
Groupama‘s Lewis Askey is 21, became 25th in Roubaix last Sunday, and finished 16th in Paris-Camembert yesterday (two days after Roubaix). That is quite impressive, IMHO… Someone to watch over the next years.
I've had him on my list to watch since u-23 WC in 2021.
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…

Good news

Is it?Yeah, Pantano is back in the peloton, just days after the end of his ban:
Good news
Of course he has every right to return once his ban ended, but I can definitely see how it can feel a bit wrong that he was able to get a contract this quickly, while other riders struggle.
Maybe he will supply umbrellas for the other team members in case of rain.
