Junior racing - The stars of the future

It's been confirmed he'll remain in the AG2R structure. Unlike his peers, however, he'll make the jump to the pro peloton immediately. Which I don't think he's ready for just yet, but he can always ride U23 races if need be.

Plenty of lower level French Cup races and early season events with only a handful of World Tour teams in that he can be eased into that would give him not much difference to being in an under 23 se

Hector Alvarez wins Philippe Gilbert*.





*Just to clarify, he won the race. Not the guy, because... winning people; kind of illegal. (Though, maybe part of the prize was one day private training with Gilbert.)

Probably the only time we'll see the rainbow for the coming 12 months. This was in Olgiate Molgora, and the tower in the background is of course on the mythical Madonna del Ghisallo. Finn won this race last year as well, but looking ahead I'd rather focus on the guy in 3rd: Roberto Capello. Recent winner of Léman. He is on the CPS program and will step up to Auto Eder next year. A familiar path, as Finn himself did the exact same this year. 2nd was Giacomo Rosato, another first year who has been lights out this season.

Roberto Capello sounds interesting. Do you have more information on him?
