Another classics podium, this time in Paris-Tours. A rider who can podium both Tre Valli Varesine and Paris-Tours is automatically an interesting rider to look out for. Means he can probably do well in any classic.

I was perhaps most impressed he did so well in Emilia which was the type of terrain I was not sure about whether he could make an impression in the first few years of his career at pro level. So indeed might play a role in any classic on the calendar.

Today he looked like the strongest on the hills to me, but missed a little bit of power to build upon the small gaps he got on the flat off road sections.

Nonetheless super impressive performance because he was spending way more energy in the 60-30km to go zone by attacking and counter attacking then guys like Vacek, Laporte and Trentin were spending.

Really an impressive ride. The way he performed over the last days (and probably even better) will be his level in 2026 - just a question of weeks in 26 until his first pro win…

So I am a bit surprised he has not done any racing yet in the preparation races on the calendar.

Is he starting his season in the Omloop, or did something happen to him during off-season?

According to PCS he is starting his season at Kuurne on Sunday but that is his only listed race so information is surprisingly sparse for such a hotly touted young rider.

he was originally supposed to have already started his season . from his december interviews , it seems like he was meant to race with the classics core ( so valenciana and provence )

i still think he will do most of the cobbled classics

then in summer they will evaluate whether or not he will do the vuelta ( which he hopes to do )
