I remember playing Junior rugby and there's sometimes be one player on the opposition team who is already shaving and is built like a 25 year old bloke. Philipsen looks like one of them.

The two best first pro races of riders who skipped the U23s are Evenepoel's GC 9th and TT 3rd in San Juan and Tarling's TT 2nd in Bessèges. Considering that those are the two most successful such riders, 150-200 points would be incredibly disappointing for AWP if he's this good already.
I wouldn't be too surprised if he was there by the end of the week.
This would require either fourth on GC or tonight's stage + sixth on GC. Don't think he's quite at that level yet - if he is, we could well see Evenepoel's 2019 score threatened and it goes without saying that that would be a massive shock.
Look, guys. I'm trying to make repre feel less bad for ommitting Withen!
Perhaps. I was thinking of him riding more of U23 program still like Nordhagen, Torres or Widar from last year but I guess he's not eligible for that now with the new rules.
Hold on. Is there something weird going on the percentage (return?) of Withen because he was a zero-pointer?
@Shakes, can you look into it?
| Full Name | Current Points | 2024 Points | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHILIPSEN Albert Withen | 10 | 0 | 0.0000 |
@Shakes, can you look into it?
It is dividing 10 with 0. Which should be divided by 0 error but that is 'error catched' and put to 0 (can also have it be empty). There is no real solution to this. Instead of dividing by 0 I can divide by 1 but that is not really correct either.

Less ugly (imo) than an error code, and it is clear from column 2 that he has points; is it really an issue?
I suppose it could be avoided by having a profit/loss column instead of %age.
Looking forward to a decent weekend. Hopefully Onley, Gloag, Philipsen, Nerurker and Torres will pick up some GC points between them.
In Spain I have a bunch that I am looking forward to seeing:
Krijnsen
Izqeardo
Christen
Penhoet
Romeo
Unfortunately not very well represented in next week's Majorca pointsfest.
