Men's U23 races and talents

Good exchanges, think Widar fastest if it goes to the finish?

Primoz Widar has reported for duty.

Torres' season has been pretty poor.
The complete opposite of Mateo Ramirez, the Ecuadorian signed by UAE.

After Dauphiné I thought Seixas would be far superior here.

Think that crash in Hungary has cost him a lot this season.

 

[Brullnux]

Quite close between the top five, but Widar is just so explosive in the final km.

Seixas looked the strongest through the climb

France took no advantage of the GC before the stage.

He was already underwhelming before that.

He was already underwhelming before that.

He was a 19 year old WT debutant learning WT-races before that.

 

[SafeBet]

That kick by Widar is insane. I mean I've seen him doing it a number of times now but I'm always in awe.

 

[Brullnux]

Tomorrow will be intense. I fancy Seixas to win, though, I think he's the best suited to recovering after a hard day's stage (or at least has the most experience of it)

Someone please describe tomorrow’s stage(s) to me like I’m a 4th grader

Big mountain.

Fat man slow.

Small man fast.

 

[Brullnux]

To be honest, I wonder if the early start will affect some riders and produce some weird results

Colle San Carlo will be interesting tomorrow

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Decent standard...

Yeah very interesting looking at Directvelo to see what's happening

2021 Pogacar. Good times.

So Widar did still have the legs for his famous last km. Impressive. Happy for the kid. Even tho you just know media will start acting like he's about to win the Tour in a few years, while he's beating guys that are younger than him. He's winning pro races next year tho, or at least if Lotto doesn't just let him ride WT the whole season (and honestly he can win in the WT too with a bit of luck).

He was a 19 year old WT debutant learning WT-races before that.

Well, if you compare him with Seixas for example who is a year younger and also learning WT races then it's sort of night and day between them.

Widar really gives me purito vibes

anyone else?

I was literally thinking the same 10 minutes ago

Lotto has two good young leaders in Widar and DeLie and something too build around in the future.

Let's be realistic here, they ain't holding on to Widar for more than 2 years lmao. I think their only chance is his loyalty to his friends. They have his close friendgroup in the team too, and apart from Driesen they are also good enough to become pro (Eeman and Donie).

2021 Pogacar. Good times.

We were happy and we didn't know it.

Was this Peter Oxenberg best performance uphill in a race?
First good performance actually?
