World Championship 2025: Mens U23 and Junior ITTs and RRs

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Van Kerckhove might be able to take gold next year. When some of those other guys are gone.

 

[Potomac]

I don't follow junior racing much.
But I'm glad to see USA take 2nd and 4th.
I have been keeping an eye on Ashlin Barry, but this is the first I've heard of Beckham Drake.

 

[Unchained]

UCI still thinks 8+ follow vehicles is necessary

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Visma's foreign recruits getting destroyed by a non-Visma Dutchman... something not quite going to plan there.

Gotta go back to the lab....
Congrats to Mouris. Solid TT'er wins.

I got a little confused by Sage's nose-strip there.
For a sec I thought he'd managed to grow a moustache while going up the climb.

We've learned that he's a massive liar, so I wouldn't have been surprised if his nose had grown bigger.

Solid TT, but he's also the only 2nd year out of the top 4. The three other guys are over a year younger.
Nevermind.

You Americans really need to tone it down with the ridiculous names. What's next, Bergkamp Snoop?

Lol, "solid TT". You think? He won!

What?
Van Kerckhove is the only 2008 born rider in the top10.

Goddamnit, so i was right the first time. I think i was probably just checking age instead of birthyear. Both Americans still have to turn 18 this year. Means they still are over half a year younger than Mouris though.

Did you read what i responded to?

 

[RedheadDane]

Fun fact: Both Barry and Capello will turn 18 on Thursday.
Which means that they did the ITT as minors, but will be doing the RR as legal adults.

That actually is a fun fact.

Mouris is the third-oldest winner of the junior TT. Considering that the rest of the top four consists of Jurgen Van Den Broeck, Remco Evenepoel and Josh Tarling, I doubt that what little age gap there is will bother him much.

I don't think i said anything about it bothering him. But not only does that list not mean anything unless you assume riders born in jan-feb are better riders by default, you also are missing some context. Evenepoel became WCC JR ITT by 1m24s to Plapp and 1m38s to Piccolo. Tarling won by 19 and 33 seconds. Mouris by 6 and 8 seconds. Van Den Broeck barely won and went on to neglect ITT's to become a climber.

The point was that when you win by a handful of seconds from a guy over a year younger, that age difference is very likely what made the difference in this age category. If you win by 2 minutes, that age difference would likely not have mattered.

Did you know why Schoonvelde arrived 48th behind the Ugandan champion?

Time to sticky this @Armchair Cyclist @Cookster15

I don't know much about U23 and Junior riders, but I do like to watch WC. According to Sporza these are the names to watch for the Junior race:

- Mattia Agostinacchio and Roberto Capello (Italy)
- Jan Jackowiak (Poland)
- Benedikt Benz and Zeno Levi Winter (Germany)
- Seff Van Kerkchove (Belgium)
- Johan Blanc and Théophile Vassal (France)
- Benjamin Noval (Spain)
- Ashlin Barry (US)
- Max Hinds and Dylan Sage (UK)
- Michiel Mouris and Gijs Schoonvelde (Netherlands)

I'll repeat a point from the weekend: WTF is that outfit for Spain?!?

I like the front, not a fan of the back

 

[Netserk]

I didn't catch how the previous group with Noval was made, but the race has been reset with 35 km to go as the peloton caught the breaks.

Hudson Harry attacked after the break was caught and is still ahead

 

[Netserk]

~15 motos between the front and the peloton.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Harold is an exceptional talent, I look forward to seeing him on lidl, again not sure what Ineos were doing there.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Hudson on his Quick Pro bike would be nice! Guy is sponsored by Pandapodium (webshop for chinese bikes and related stuff)
