Re:
Sosa won GC at Burgos as a 20 year old ahead of Lopez and a pretty good field of minor GC men. He finished second on GC at the Tour of Colombia this year as a 21 year old, behind Lopez but ahead of an absurd list of riders. The 3rd to 9th place finishers were Martinez, Bernal, Quintana, Uran, Alaphilippe, Henao, Carapaz.
Maybe he will never be a consistent three week racer. Or maybe his TT will always crucify him. Or maybe he is a freak early developer and won’t improve much. Maybe. But he is certainly extremely good for a 21 year old. So it’s a little surprising that Sivakov and Dunbar, the latter a last minute call up, were so much more visible. There was more hype about Sosa and based on palmares to date deservedly so.
