Dutch are taking over, hugely talented GC riders coming up and now loads of sprinters. Next 3-4 seasons the colour oranje will be in demand. :D

yeah right, most likely they'll still be overshadowed by more talented generation of gc riders (schleck/contador) and sprinters (cavendish/kittel)

You'd have said the same about Kittel last year (that is, if you'd called him a sprinter at all).

Anyway, for a crappy team the Dutchies are doing okay. Too bad that none of our biggest GC talents got a spot (or they're injured).

Nah, just Theo Bo.

But seriously youngest, since when?
No idea, I don't think the sprinting field is that strong currently at the U23s... I mean, Kelderman won a bunch sprint in Thuringen against guys like Rowe and while reasonably fast, he's no Cavendish in the making.

The interesting thing is that the Dutch U23 sprinters with the most wins to their name, Jetse Bol and Barry Markus, aren't even there.

Nah, it will be like Belgian national football team.

Talented, but always manage to screw things up.

Good comparison, but for a different reason: like the Belgian football team, the Dutch talents just aren't good enough.

Thanks. Barry Markus sounds lame.

Rowe isn't really a sprinter, he's more of a guy with a fast finish. I haven't seen the sprint where Kelderman beat Rowe, but Rowe has certainly beaten Markus, Bol, Wippert in sprints this year.

Maybe you've heard of him because he won today's stage in the Tour de l'Avenir?

Lol. I actually remembered him from his 8 place in the first stage and because D_T mentioned his name once.
Didn't really pay attention to who won today, only noticed the remarkable Dutch dominance.
