Fourth edition of the junior men's game

Race calendar https://firstcycling.com/race.php?y=2025&t=4

Points will be based on the FC Junior ranking (see 2024 https://firstcycling.com/ranking.php?k=fc&rank=jr&y=2024)

Points are based on stages/GC, using the table shown below. The only variation is the x.x factor we’ve assigned to races. For example, Nations Cup races score more points than J.2.1 races, and so on

Hold on, these two guys aren't twins?!



Maybe one of them decided to stay in the womb for another 3.5 months.

Here's a photo of them from 2022. They do not not look alike, but according to a post from their current team, they are not related.

They have both raced for ASC Olympia, which Isa (not Lisa) Klein also has, and she is apparently Jesse's sister.

First junior race of the year, all second year Spaniards delivering. Enaut Urcaregui, Enrique Maranchon and Javier Cubillas. Fwiw, all three are on my list of Spaniards to not be signed by Unzue, and so far he is off to a hot start with Maranchon going to Israel.

Haugetun only 57th.

If you can't get enough of watching rainy French races!


Three riders on the attack
No clue who they are. (Looks like De Smeyter, Groman, and... someone else...)
Or how much of a gap they have.
Just over 50 Ks to go.

Noah Møller Andersen was on the prelimiary startlist for the Danish National team on PCS.
Now he's on the final startlist... for Grenke.

So, either PCS made a mistake, or he was originally going to ride for the National Team, but had to switch over to Grenke.
I'm guessing that even though the rules aren't as strict as in the grown-up ranks; riders can represent their national teams, even if their club team is also riding, the club team has priority.

Anyway; due to the Junior Game on FirstCycling, I'll be cheering for riders from several different countries, among them a Child.
