Men's U23 races and talents

[QueenStagiaire]

I know that! I remember when the elder was racing.

Also, he had the kid quite young, didn't he? My impeccable math skills tell me that
46 - 16 = 20.

That‘s not what my math skills tell me for sure.

 

[RedheadDane]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What have the father-son duo of Novals done since the j's have suddenly been removed from their names?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

L'Avenir is underway for the men for as well, and Nordhagen has beat Omrzel by 20 seconds and Tuckwell by 10 at this stage of the prologue.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Very good time from Torres, only 5 seconds off

Is there a stream available anywhere?

It appears there aren't broadcasts for the time trials for some reason.

Haven't found any. Might not be filmed for logistical reasons perhaps. Only 30s between riders and possibly tight uphill.

 

[ingsve]

Storm Ingebrigtsen with no time on PCS so far so either DNS or DNF perhaps. Nordhagen might have lost a strong team member already.

 

[nightowl]

Silas Koech about to start, who has a name that looks like it should belong to a Kenyan distance runner and not a German cyclist.

 

[Samamba]

Prologue is one thing but if there's actually no broadcast for the final and decisive stage they should just cancel this whole Tour de l'Avenir

 

[Tim Cahill]

***, Ireland might have a better team than us this time, some of these guys surely must have a British nan or something come on.

Probably at least someone that suffered from the famine because of the British…

Sounds very German to me...?

 

[hayneplane]

It should be a great contest this year. A strong crop of young climbers.

One thing that I do find really poor is Denmark picking Simon Dalby for a 4th year in a row. It’s supposed to be a development showcase race and if you haven’t developed beyond the race after 2 years you really shouldn’t be getting selected again. Surely they have other younger riders more deserving of the place in the team.

That's what happens when an entire generation of Irishmen don't have to worry on wether or not someone is taking their spuds.

 

[ingsve]

Who on earth is Marco Schrettl. Looking at his past results it almost seems like a mistiming.

Yeah, if nothing more, then a mounted camera at the finish line should at least be doable under all circumstances.

 

[AlfaLum]

Ramirez with a very big performance here, very promising rider after his great performance in the Ecuadorian NC also.

 

[Squire]

Was there a wind change? A lot of strong times at the end here.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Schrettl is Astana-bound by the way, (apparently) great pickup and scouting from the team

Israel are looking for a new GC rider so he shouldn't just take the first offer he receives.

true, he's ready to do a GT now but no chance as long as hes with UNOX, a team that pick one token danish rider for the tdf each year

Marvin Peters is a perfect 1970s cop movie name

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I have to ask, does anybody know how or which metric is being used to round off times? I'm pretty sure numbers 0 to 4 are mathematically rounded off downward, while 5 to 9 is rounded off upward.

According to PCS, these are the times for GC:

1	Seixas Paul	France	2		7:19
2	Finn Lorenzo	Italy			,,
3	Schrettl Marco	Austria			0:07
4	Ramírez Mateo	Ecuador			0:08
5	Nordhagen Jørgen	Norway			,,
6	Widar Jarno	Belgium			0:10
7	Rafferty Adam	Ireland			0:12
8	O'Brien Liam	Ireland			0:13
9	Torres Pablo	Spain			0:14
10	Øxenberg Peter	Denmark			0:18

while they should be (assuming PCS stage results are correct):

1	Seixas Paul	France	2		7:19
2	Finn Lorenzo	Italy			0:01
3	Schrettl Marco	Austria			0:08
4	Ramírez Mateo	Ecuador			0:08
5	Nordhagen Jørgen	Norway			0:09
6	Widar Jarno	Belgium			0:10
7	Rafferty Adam	Ireland			0:13
8	O'Brien Liam	Ireland			0:14
9	Torres Pablo	Spain			0:14
10	Øxenberg Peter	Denmark			0:18

 

[SafeBet]

Three of the top4 born in 2006.

Turns out he did get a time after all. Must have changed bikes or something or had some other issue with transponder.
