Never heard of him? Is it a joke or a superstar talent.

I thought del torro was a nice add of a youngster he seems to hold all the credentials you would want to be a top top rider in this sport. Uae are moving and buying smart not that I give em to much credit with their balance but nevertheless they use it well. Most of uae best top riders are at the best age aswell besides Politt and Wellens, Yates they are all age wice on the upwards basicly with a insane depth aswell ....

and will just improve add that with adding more top riders which they will do it might just be getting out of hand in the coming years.

UAE neo-pros are having a really good season

Only Arrieta doesn't have a pro win yet, but he has been doing a very good domestique work in races like Itzulia.

Mostly down to their signing a certain sprog for2019 and the squeezing out of the Italian crew, plus of course money.

Once the Saunier Duval crew took over from the old Lampre stuff it became a successful team.

Lefts you baffled how Saronni was able to unsuccessfully run a team for so many years. Because 20 years ago Lampre even had a decent budget.

Also the organization did some calculations by extending many contracts including Fisher-Black ,Del Toro and a few others and didn't give an encouraging thumbs up to Marc Hirschi , and he is certainly not an old man at 25..

I remember the glory days of Lampre with Cunego, Ballan, Bennati and Scarponi.

Where have all the good Italian riders gone??

I'm a bit tired of reading this everywhere. They just have the most money, so they can afford to buy all the youngsters that everyone can see are the biggest talents. But for some reason Matxin is lauded as this genious 'scout'.

I dont disagree or emphasizes the importance of money in various situations cash is always king.

But they still clearly buy many very young and the hitrate is still nevertheless very impressive so some sort of influence is def there for sure.

Just like any other team signing the best youngsters, there's usually a Camilo Ardila, Alex Riabushenko or Cristian Muñoz for every Pogacar, Ayuso or Morgado. They don't do anything different to Team Sky when they were the big dogs and signing Sivakov, Bernal, Halvorsen etc.

Ofc im not trying to hype Matxin but more so state the situation of affairs. Ineos also kinda good at that I think. I think Ineos have more top tier talents than anyone else besides UAE.

Point is also with cash alone job not done as Kobe would say. But your not wrong.

I'll give them credit for being quite good at developing their youngsters once they have them. The points-hunting in smaller races seems to be a good way of introducing them to the pro peloton while letting them taste some leadership early on. Team Sky wasn't always as successful doing that, though I think they did a better job than they sometimes got credit for.
