First time ever that a rider wins both the Ronde de l'Isard and the Baby Giro in the same year. Massive win for Sivakov.

CT Friuli also raced the Vuelta a Juventud, rather odd for an Italian team, but they did.Bye Bye Bicycle said:Vermeltfoort actually has his best ever pro season this year.
Italy is lacking stage races for amateurs/U23. Apart from the Toscana two day event in April there hasn't been a single stage race on this level in Italy so far in 2017. Giro d'Abruzzo - died years ago. Giro delle Pesche Nettarine - defunct since 2015. Giro delle Regioni - RIP. Giro di Cosenza - gone since 2006. And so on.
Some teams try it abroad instead - Colpack at the Bidasoa Itzulia, CT Friuli in Austria's Bundesliga races, Delio Gallina in Hungary. But it's not the same.

Honestly, I prefer the route of the GIRO CICLISTICO VALLE D'AOSTA, even if it's nothing but mountain stages, even the prologue isn an uphill prologue.DNP-Old said:No ITT in this years Avenir.

DNP-Old said:Adrien Costa change of schedule, proceeded by DNS in Palio del Recioto, DNS in US Nationals TT, DNS in US Nationals RR, DNS in US Nationals TT U23. Is he even going to ride l'Avenir at this point? Also very odd that Axeon isn't communicating a thing.
