Junior racing - The stars of the future

[RedheadDane]

Looks like we have a rider solo, with a small gap.
He's wearing mostly white...
100 Ks to go.

 

[RedheadDane]

French National Team and FDJ rider with around 24 seconds.
26 Ks to go.

 

[RedheadDane]

5 Ks to go.
And now they're actually filming the peloton, rather than the moto driver's jacket.

 

[RedheadDane]

Mouris wins solo.

 

[Potomac]

Ashlin Barry with 2nd place.

 

[RedheadDane]

If big bro can, little bro can too:

They even have basically the same winning gesture.

 

[RedheadDane]

Noah "Too Many Last Names" wins Giro di Primavera.

 

[RedheadDane]

Mouris pretty dominant in GP West Bohemia.
Danes pretty dominant in Coupe du President.
Blanc win in Tour du Carmausin.

Finish LBL U19, this is a first. The results are how they finished. Looked like the Bahrein rider Leander De Gendt would come around.

What the hell, that guy shouldn‘t be allowed to steer a motobike.

Why is it held on the same time as the Peace Race?!

Why is it held on the same time as the Peace Race?!

No idea. First I thought the video wasn’t from today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Harry Hudson looks a pretty serious rider, he did 7.3 w/kg for 7 minutes on a climb earlier in the season on the peaks in Sheffield and wasn't even at his best, good to see him do it in a big race.

De Gendt got completely screwed however lets face it.

Motorcycle rider rider obviously misheard the instruction 'don't let the British win', or mixed up the riders.

Result of the Women's GW:

2025 Gent - Wevelgem Juniors

The 2025 Gent - Wevelgem In Flanders Fields Women Juniors was won by Erin Boothman of Tofauti Everyone Active Majaco.

firstcycling.com

Also... why are the youth races today? (Junior Men and Women, U23 Men, and - I pressume - U17 Men and Women)
"Seven Races in Flanders Fields, but Separated by Over a Month" just... doesn't have the same ring to it...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A shame that Megan Arens was riding GW instead of Tour du Gévaudan so we didn't get to see how she'd have done against Sidney Swierenga on Mende.

 

[RedheadDane]

And over in Pays de Vaud, they had a 4.7 KM TTT.
Denmark won, Risbjerg in yellow tomorrow.

 

[RedheadDane]

Here's a quick run-down of the various - non NC - races concluded, or held, yesterday.

Pays de Vaud (continued from previous post):
Bastian Petric won stage 2, while Oskar Louw Larsen moved into the lead.
Lucas Stevenson won stage 3.
Moritz Mauss won the final stage.
Louw Larsen won the GC ahead of Daan Dijkman and Stevenson.
Petric won the Points Jersey.
Jiri Rejzek won the KOM jersey.
And Malthe Risbjeg won the BYR jersey.

Junioren Driedaagse (yes, it is indeed 3 days. Though... with two half-stages):
Filip Smørås won stage 1, and obviously took the lead.
Samuel Gunnink won stage 2a, while Daniel Kubena took the lead.
Ben Morin won stage 2b.
Thor Verleysen won the final stage, while Rune Boden took the lead.
Boden won the GC ahead of Kubena and Peder Wettre Andreassen.
Kubena won the Points Jersey.
And Kubena also won the BYR Jersey.
(No KOM available)

Vlaanderen Women:
Paula Ostiz won ahead of Megan Arens and Jente Koop. A feat she may, or may not, have celebrated with tacos.

Vlaanderen Men:
Julius Løvstrup Birkedal won ahead of Georg Tjumins and Jan Michal Jackowiak. Fun fact; Julius only turns 17 in late November.

Anatol Friedl wins the Classic of the Alps in France 2nd Johan Blanc +19" and 3rd Roberto Capello +21". The italian wins 4 of the 5 koms. On the steepest climb Le Mont du Chat the italian attack and makes the difference but in the following descent Friedl and Blanc manage to reach the italian. In the last descent after the last kom the two grenke riders fall first the austrian and after the italian anyway Friedl easily manages to recover and pass Blanc and Capello and wins with a gap of 19" on Blanc and of 21" the team-mate Capello.

 

[RedheadDane]

Benjamin Noval wins the G.P. F.W.R BARON - Pieve del Grappa - Possagno. (A name that rolls quite off the tongue.)

 

[Onizuka999]

Yes the italian race won by Noval had three stages: the first itt won by the italian Baruzzi, the 2nd stage won in a sprint by Magagnotti and today the last stage with an uphill finish. Gc with 2nd the polish Jackowiak and 3rd the norwegian Haugetun.

Looks like they basically just treated ther race like their own personal training ride.

 

[hayneplane]

1-5 is just absurdly overpowered.

Hard to see what the riders are actually learning from that.

 

[SafeBet]

Capello looks like the next Italian super climber. He improved a lot after joining Grenke this year.

Capello looks like the next Italian super climber. He improved a lot after joining Grenke this year.

He also was crazy strong in the classique des Alpes Junior last week
