Did not expect this one from De Schuyteneer. He's fast, but I don't see him as bunch sprint winning fast. Bit lucky that Magnier was too far back ofcourse. De Schuyteneer was perfectly positioned behind TTT.

The way Magnier is going he will ride nearly as many days for the Development team or the French team than his actual trade team.

Great leadout from Tudor last climb

Torres not far off Widars level and he's also only 18 years old. Gotta wonder if the level isn't just pretty low this year.

The question is whether Lotto can get Widar signed up for their pro teams. They'll be competing with a few teams.

To be fair there are a lot of riders still age eligible like Pelizarri/Del Toro/Christen/Uijtebroeks/L Martinez that have already moved beyond age group races. That goes a long way towards explaining a drop in top level.

Apparantly the level hasn't dropped because of talented 18 year olds entering the U23. The problem is that they are gone a year later so the talent pool is probably thinner than before.

With the way things currently are it would be more apt to have an under 21 race
