Will Kern Pharma still continue?End of an era. Lizarte is no more.
Yes, even as sponsor of the Lizarte team as well.
Ah, just to clarify I understand this properly as google isn't telling me much, the u23 team continues but Lizarte as a sponsor will not?
Yes, that is what I understand from the articles in the press.
Man, Segaert is freaking special. Currently in the midst of ruining Waerenskjold in CdN. His European kit looks freaking trash, though.
First race between the elites, first podium for Jan Christen
2nd in Trofej Umag, just behind the already seasoned Adam Toupalík (don't know how he hasn't got another chance at least at ProSeries level since leaving Corendon)

The new and improved Ruben Guerreiro with a strong result in Rhodes in his second race day as an U23.
Intermarché talent (not sure if they actually signed him for the pro team already) Bussato wins Liege Bastogne Liege u23. Sprint of 10-20 rider group.
A couple of weeks ago he told me he hadn't signed for the pro team yet. Don't think it will take much longer.
I'm very happy for him. He had been waiting for a win for so long.
The guys was already 14th in BP a few days ago, 4th in the Muscat classic and 7th in the Veneto classic at the end of last season. Fast, punchy guy who can climb a bit, last year he was 2nd on the Zoncolan from Sutrio (minus the final 3kms) mtf olin the Giro del Friuli.
De Pretto finished 3rd
Italy actually has a few good guys for hilly one day races in the u23 ranks.
Bagioli, Covi, Battistella all were pretty good for hilly one day races in the u23 ranks but they are struggling to adapt to the higher level. Better not get too excited about these kids, but Busatto surely is a talent.
Apparently Joshua Gudnitz from Coloquick was alone in the lead with a gap of 25 seconds and 8 k to go, when he got led the wrong way by race marshalls and motos. That’s incredibly disappointing if true.
Wow, his face on this starting picture looks like Davide Rebellin… And today he won LBL U23. May he ride with Davide Rebellin‘s spirit and enthusiasm…
Was LBL broadcast somewhere? Don't know how the race unfolded, but looking at the results i would have expected the illegitimate son of Wout and Mathieu to have been on the podium at least, if that was a bunch sprint. Or did a few groups fuse right at the finish perhaps? Also good to see Ramses Debruyne on the right track again. I must have first mentioned him when he was a first year junior, but i think Samamba mentioned him having had some problems the past two years.
Headwind all day long, especially in the final. Hard to make any difference (parcours also isn't the hardest). Segaert and the Dane mentioned above went up the road with 45k to go. Peloton catched them with around 20k to go. Some attacks here and there, but nothing sticked. Sprint with 15ish guys in the end.
Debruyne had serious knee problems in his first year, then when he was fit he fell into a ravine and had serious injuries. Was ok in the 2nd part of last year, but now it's time to show more. He definitely is having some throuble to get the results that were expected.
Segaert and Gudnitz attacked with 20 km to go, Segaert couldn't follow on the hills at around -12 km, Gudnitz was 25 seconds ahead when he was directed straight with the correct road to the left blocked by race organization around -8 km. Moto, race vehicles and neutral service also went the wrong way. (from feltet.dk)

A wet Paris Roubaix u23 got dominated by Belgians today.
Very surprising winner and podium imo. Tijl De Decker solo'ed to the victory. He's having a good season, but I wouldn't have expected him to do this.
More than a minute behind Gil Gelders got 2nd and De Deckers teammate Orins 3rd.
Lotto Dstny ended with all of their 6 riders in the top 20. Funny thing is that pre race favorite Segaert had the worst result out of them.

Trinity doing well in the Orlen Grand Prix with Donaldson and Nerurkar finishing ahead of Busatto. Nerurkar will surely be signed by a WT team next season? A British rider for Trinity used to mean automatic promotion to Ineos, but maybe that's changed with Gloag's defection to Jumbo last year?
So RCS took over the Baby Giro, gave it a new English name for no reason (Giro Next Gen) and put Vegni's son in charge because nepotism. Now don't get me wrong, he might prove himself to be a capable race director, but it's clear that he only got the job/opportunity to prove himself because of his father.
That said, the route ain't bad. An opening ITT, 2 stages for the sprinters, 2 hilly stages, a short stage with a Stelvio MTF and the final stage looks really good:
