UCI World Championships 2024 - Juniors, RR/ITT

There's always a way. Perhaps we could deploy the 'Declan Rice' rule as he hasn't made his full international senior debut yet.

Pretty sure riders can still change nationality, even if they have made their full international senior debut.

 

[Brullnux]

Just listened to his interview and he's obviously from Yorkshire(?). Has he always ridden for Italy or is there a chance we can steal him back?

Just Froome him, not sure there's much difference in competency between Italian and Kenyan federations these days

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Looking ahead to next year, we'll have the likes of Benjamin Noval, Kristian Haugetun, Gabriel Genter, Jinze Joris, Enzo Hincapie, Karl Herzog and Finn Bastiaanssen coming in, amongst others.

We'll like anybody who wins anything at this point. We're that desperate.

I’ll like anybody from Italy who wins just for the national anthem.

They literally tried to get Djokovic to play for GB way back when.

We should make mandatory that any rider called Finn acquires Italian nationality immediately.

Italy rugby and football are also pretty adept at this. Recently convinced a man called Matt Gallagher to move to Treviso so that he might end up playing for Italy.

Perhaps Finn Fisher-Black could be persuaded to switch nationalities every few years, too.

Ashlin Barry will return next year for gold.

I didn't realize he was Michael Barry's son, until I went to his PCS page and saw he was born in Girona. Then looked to if Barry was Dad. I assume his mom is from USA?

Yes. His mother is Dede Demet, the Olympic silver medalist in Athens '04.

Family names ending with a consonant are fairly common in Veneto so nothing to see here, a true Italian...

If one of you're dog's grandparents was Italian and you're decent, they'll try to get you.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Awesome race today. Let's hope for similar weather conditions on Sunday!

Spain became European champions with a central defense duo from France

 

[Juan Pelota]

Yes. His mother is Dede Demet, the Olympic silver medalist in Athens '04.

Wow! Talk about good genes!

 

[MLKarlos]

Looking forward to see Widar having to work for Finn next year.

Best comment of the week. Still have to laugh about it

Since you mentioned Karl Herzog, I assume that you are talking about Grenke Auto Eder. Do you have any sources about the transfers? I just know from the two red bull athletes Herzog and Tjumins.

I definitely read that post as just a generic "in the junior ranks" post.

 

[Danskebjerge]

No fractures for Philipsen.

But not much left of the season anyway, so ...

This is correct.

Yes, he has everything at his disposal to become a world class rider, talent included. As explained in the OP, I am expecting the sweepstakes for his signature to approach legendary levels.

However, at the same time I am kind of wary and cautious. His mom and dad were professional athletes, and Ashlin himself has been killing top level juniors and high level amateurs/semi-professionals since the age of 14. In this age of young professionalism, it makes me wonder how much of it is due to having a physical and professional head start.
