Teams & Riders General topic for riders who don't deserve their own thread (yet)

I said there was no prize! But, eh, you can have your citizenship back. Happy now?

Hmm, I feel that was too easy (I'm still unhappy about Sagan botching the Yorkshire Worlds!!).

Quite old "news", but I think it's a rather cool detail that for Demare's 14 wins this season, Guarnieri was present for 13 of those. No prize for guessing which one he wasn't present for!

Though it does beg the question; how many French riders does it take to replace one Guarnieri?

I think the exchange rate is two Frenchmen to one Guarnieri unless Cherel is one of them.

Well, if you don't want to be Danish... but at least you aren't talking about how sad you are that Mads P outsprinted Trentin.

I'm afraid I can't claim sadness over that.

Hang on, so what you're saying is that there's a World Championship where it would be reasonable for France to go for Demare, they should totally bring Cherel along?

On a flat course the exchange rate would probably be 2,1 to 1 instead, if they brought him.

Going through the conti-teams for next year - yes, I'm weird - and came across this:

Here's Mick Van Dijke

And here's Tim Van Dijke

Yeah, if they ever turn pro, I'm gonna need a cheat-sheet! And I think there might be a slight mistake with (one of?) their profiles, because apparently they weren't born the same place. For their mother's sake, I hope that isn't true.

They might not be twins, but just have the same father though.

Now, that would definitely make for some awkward family gatherings...

Anything goes in Goes. But according to the Jumbo website, they were both born in Colijnsplaat, so there were probably no funny business going on.
