Stybar riding a good Tour de Suisse

[Moose McKnuckles]

Guess who outclimbed some top riders in the Tour de Suisse yesterday?

That's right. Cyclocross WC Stybar. Finished ahead of Hincapie, Schlecklet, and many others. Very impressive riding in his first roadie year.

hincapie is not a climber. But yes still very impressive.

And he managed while still pedalling like a 'crosser.

Bite your tongue. Hincapie is the one and only revelation that destroyed Pereiro on that climb to Pla d'Adet.

Seriously though, amazing that Stybar is riding so well and finishing ahead of some very impressive company.

I was more impressed by his top 10 finish on one of the tough uphill sprints. Also in the stage Sagan won it took quite a while before he was dropped from the main group, think there were only about 20 guys left when he was dropped. So he's certainly a huge talent.

Yeh the guy is doing very very well in his firt season on the road. Very curious to see how he will develop the next years.

Anyone who knows what such results translate to among the pros always reserves judgement.

The Giro delle Regioni almost never lies.

Anyway, do what I did recently, go back to old editions of Giro delle Regioni, Tour l'Avenir and World Ch U23. So many of those names have become good to very good pro's, I'm not talking about just the top 10, but 70% of the participating field.
U23 races DO tell you more than you think. I'm hardly ever suprised at a young rider breaking through because I've seen his name before in some conti/U23 race. The only time I'm ever suprised is when riders come from different sports that I don't follow. Like mountainbikers, thriatletes etc... I don't know them so I'm baffled when they suddenly pop up.
