Men's U23 races and talents

[LosBrolin]

Vlasov lost 26 minutes to a winner (Sivakov) last year. I know he managed to beat for example Stannard at Aosta, but I wouldn't but him as a main favorite. I mean if Cherkasov is riding it could very well be him who'll be their best GC rider at the end? That being said he probably doesn't have the best form right now, but who knows.

What about Colombians? Is Munoz starting? He was 13th last year. Luis Fernando Jimenez, recent Vuelta Colombia U23 winner also taking part, I wonder if he could show something at the tougher stages. Overall I think the GC will be very open ball game compared to last year.

Re: Re:

Girobio.

This starlist has several mistake.

In my opinion, the main favorite is Vlasov. Then Stannard and Williams. Then the others guys.
For the sprints, I think the wheel to follow is going to be Philipsen.

It's a provisional startlist, of course it's filled with mistakes.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

The problem is we have race day today and there's still no final start list. Even this provisional one just appeared yesterday. That's poor.

Konychev with the provisional lead, but still many more riders to come

 

[LaFlorecita]

Current top-3, Morey, Philipsen, Konychev

Morey was quicker than Affini but got relegated after starting too early.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lol

 

[SafeBet]

Moschetti looks like a totally different rider compared to last year. A ton of winning sprints and now a promising TT.
Berto and Basso have an eye for talents

Giovanni Lonardi wins the 1st stage.

Thijssen celebrated too early apparently.
Philipsen is the new leader.

Has anyone seen an official result for the prologue? I can't find one on the website. The one on PCS doesn't show Diego Sevilla's time (and maybe some others, but that's the one I noticed)

The one posted further up this thread isn't the official result list?

It is but that's only top20

thanks my friend. I just found one on an italian website as well. PCS has the wrong Diego listed ( ) kinda strange there are no results on the race's official website?

Stage 2 Giro U23
Win for Wildauer. Covi 2nd at 33s, Corradini 3rd at 36s.

Apparently Wildauer attacked on the descent before the final climb.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Philipsen wins stage 3. http://firstcycling.com/race.php?r=226&y=2018&k=etapper&e=03

Not even close

Colombia is taking over this bike race.

 

[DNP-Old]

1. Osorio

[DNP-Old]

Cristian Muñoz finished 4th as well. This is great.

4 posts in a row, worth it.

 

[LosBrolin]

Gino Mäder 3rd and Stevie Williams somewhere in top10?

 

[LaFlorecita]

We only have a top-5 so far. Osorio, D. Muñoz, Mäder +5, C. Muñoz +9 and Vlasov +9. And indeed LosBrolin, his team reported a top-10 for Williams.
