Men's U23 races and talents

[the asian]

Dijkman the winner !

Surprise, didn't think he was the fastest in the reduced group

 

[Netserk]

When are they either going to remove this race from the calendar and let Fleche Ardenaise be the real LBL u23 or make the parcours way harder... reduced bunch sprint, a joke.

i dont know why they cant have the pro finish

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE winning is quite funny, at least televise the last part please, bit of a farce really.

Dijkman wins 2nd Ward and 3rd Stiansen. A sprint of about 35 riders. The parcours wasn't so difficult anyway. Fleche Ardennaise is millions times harder.

Guess not a lot of people saw that coming:

20 out of 1197 players in the PCS game picked DIJKMAN Daan as the winner today.

Cause they still we're in 2010 and u23 riders need soft routes.

Cause they still we're in 2010 and u23 riders need soft routes.

they could still skip raf , plenty of options for a softer substitute

but please finish the same place

 

[Red Rick]

Bit of a 2016 moment for me going from "nice, a Dutch guy won" to vomiting in my mouth about which team won

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

It wasn't a dominant victory by any means. He was the only UAE rider in a group of 35, so it's unfair to despise him for that.

He finished second, 9 seconds behind Seixas, in the Junior edition, despite being a year younger.

 

[hayneplane]

Seems pretty impressive from Dijkman to win a reduced group sprint whilst being only a reported 55kg featherweight rider.

 

[Brullnux]

Apparently Finn did Redoute in 7:11, 14 seconds faster than anyone else? Which seems unlikely as he was caught soon after, though maybe there were attacks behind on the flatter section.

Anyway, if true, that is fast. Are there any highlights at all of the race
