A little update, now that these talents have turned 24

Climbers:

M. Lindström: 82-59-79-50-48: Already 4 trainings missed, not good. 82 at 24,25 is not inspiring at all. With his other skills he really needs that mountain! What he misses in skills, he makes up in results-points so far. 30 races, youth jersey at the TdF, 2141 eternal points. But to continue like this he needs training.

G. Loosli 83-60-78-48-58 now, so not really outstanding training, goal should be 85 at the end of this month, probably had only 2 mountain trainings at 23. Unlucky, but nothing luck at 24 and 25 can't compensate. 2 races only so far, 30 points. His manager is missing lately, looooong holiday? Or he finally realized c4f is too difficult for him? But with Loosli he should try a bit again...

Classics:

C. Kelleher: 68-80-79-48-51: One mountain missed so far, but now the difficult month starts, most likely was this training that he missed. Good flat training, +6, nice to be at 80 already. Training for classics this month and next month are important, so too early for conclusions. 79 races already, 1 win, and 515 eternal points. But his time should be coming now

H. Herzog: 67-80-70-65-65. He started at 55, so same training as Kelleher in the mountain. 1 missed. Flat +7 even it looks like, so very good. But is it needed with that TT and sprint? Weren't trained, but ok the Donkey admits he wouldn't know how to train a guy like that. 7 races, 55 points, his manager is still or again on break.

Sprinter:

J. Sancho:54-51-49-46-90. 90 sprint, nice +7 in the last 11 trainings. +3 mountain, +2 flat. I would have thought flat up, mountain at 51 can stay, but it's not shocking that the manager decided to do something else. To become a star he needs to get up that flat skill. The sprint skill is already there, the way the sprinters look at c4f right now, 90 is sufficient. 39 races, 179 points, no win.

Pavé


J. Börjesson 53-80-77-48-50-79.7. 10 of 11 flat trainings, probably missed the last one. But good. 3 mountain, so RVV doesn't seem to be a goal, but that was difficult anyway with those starting skills. So far so good, now he needs to continue though. 28 races, 11 eternal points, probably will increase from now on, now he is on a level where in pavé races he can already score more points.

Flat

R. Tiekema 51-84-61-56-58. 8 of 11 flat trainings. 3 mountain. Flat probably a bit less than hoped, looks like 2 at 23 or 2 at 23 and the first training at 24. For climbers 85 is the goal at the end of 24, so for flat riders that train that only, or primarily should be 86? Still possible, but of course it's better to take 3 at 23... 27 races, 26 points. 58 sprint is quite good, but there's 5 better guys in the team, 2 of them young flat riders as well, so doesn't look like he'll be the first man in a 3 man train very often. Plus with his reg he's more the early pace maker. But as a flat helper he already is well developed, 4th best flat rider in the team, presumably riding rather early?


So not much to say about this generation yet. Climbers with rather subpar training. But Lindström with good results. Kelleher with a win already, but otherwise being a classic his important training month comes now.

Don't punish bugusers. We all have to use bugs, since most of them are declared as "features"!
