The Jan Christen is the illegitimate child of Mathieu and Wout thread

Great talent! But don't see him as a MVP / WVA type rider.

Anyway strong win today!

Del Toro, Morgado, Arrieta and Christen has been nice signings already for UAE
And they have been given an impressive amount of freedom to express their talents already this year.

The sheer joy on Christens face today when Torres swung over and he was given the green light to attack was wonderful to see. There is a very Pogacar like zeal for racing and just ripping into it having fun on the bike.

Looks a real talent for the 1 day races at this point, in the future who knows?.
 
It was a shame about Brenner, DSM are usually quite good with younger guys, though he did show promising signs of life last season, perhaps one day he will justify the absurdly early thread made in his honour.

Christen benefitted yesterday from not being 100%, he had to use his head to win, he was stronger yet lost on Sunday and at the WCs because he rode like he had somewhere to be right after the event, hopefully for him the lightbulb goes off.
