Dude, Roby, you forgot the most important rider: Ndale Mbeki 55-73-73-52-56, 62 Reg. Complete rider, has everything, can beat the Guggisbergs aswell as the Grandlacs.^^ wrote:

Arnje Nyard 56-74-73-60-65, 65 Pavé, 42 Reg, Team Kajutschka (Sweden)

What a perfect rider we do have here...

Yann Laflèche 56-74-56-52-51, 74 Pavé, 49 Reg, OLcycle (France)

Interesting breakaway rider for the flemish races.

Robys picks for 21 year olds in March

-Carlos Gardel, Alk 55-74-79-56-56 36 reg. Very complete, has everything. Downhill and 56 sprint, if he trains that could be a real star. 1,813 the price. Very nice, Roby wants him!! 64-85-78-56-56. Not the type of rider I thought he would become, but of course 64-85 is nice too. Already 2 wins, hate him. Kill him. Will never be a real star I think, but a very good support rider that can go for the win too, as he's shown.
-Benoit Chellis, OL 56-74-51-60-66 49 reg. 2,263, very expensive, Roby doesn't want him! But he'll be Grandlac succesor, similar skills, but starts with 2 more in the mountain. Will be the leader, with his 66 sprint will be a typical OL parasite, will get his results, has the potential to become a better Grandlac basically.As expected basically. 72-79, 66 sprint. No wins yet, but a few days in yellow and already 1700 points.
-Gino Cutunio, Ariostea: 56-73-68-52-65 46 reg. No TT, so a bit cheaper, 2,065. Similar starting skills, but will become a different rider, will become the new Renti, 70+ with 70+ sprint. Note to self: Avoid Ari races if you want to win..71-74 with 75 sprint. The expected horror rider. Already 3 wins and one small tour win.
-Kjell Lindelöf, Kaju 55-73-77-47-45 46 Reg, 75,1 Pavé 2,295 Pavéstar for Flanders 11? Will be 34, should be no problem. If he goes up to 80 flat he'll have 80 pavé, mountain 70+ can be expected too. Will have to win solo with his sprint probably, but nice offensive hilly pavérider. The question, will he still be there in 13 months?The answer to the question is: No, of course Kaju sold him already in April. Got a new team in June. So now 61-79 with 79,3 pavé, not a bad rider, but not what he could have been. Now it's a good helper, for hilly races and for pavé races, nothing more. Could have been MUCH more.
-Enzo Locatelli, LARAPANA, 53-73-56-47-66 46 reg. 73,3 pavé. Same thing, Flanders 11, less pavé, but winner sprint. Unknown team, new french team that has had good results, so get's mentioned here. Not sure he even realizes that he has one of the potential favourites for Flanders 11 in his team. So will see what happens with the training and the team, 2,138 the price, good I think. Exactly the same, sold in April, 61-78 now, still 66 sprint. From a potential Flanders winner to a normal support rider, like Lindelöf. A shame. And in both cases the training wasn't really bad when they were sold.
-Didier Chatelain, ZL 73-54-77-48-46 51 reg. Good enough flat, good downhill, good reg. Nice rider, plus I like the name. Usually don't like ZLs climbers names..2,892 normal.He, very strong start, first 13 training took mountains, now 5 trainings nothing at all. Still can go up of course, still open.
-Marijn Vandewalle,CCS 73-54-74-49-50 50 reg Same rider basically. 2,918, a bit more expensive, TT and Sprint slightly more. Both are close to the "standard" climber that Roby would buy if he doesn't look for something else (reg usually) for Roby that is 73-54-77-50-50 Doesn't exist anymore and CCS stopped? A shame.
-Babacar Kolda, fresim 73-56-79-54-53 45 Reg 4 max skills, only sprint not, and sprint is close, only 3 under the max. Excellent. With his TT (that I expect will be trained) could become one of the favourites for the Vuelta, Andes and the rest of the winter. Tour at 25 already with chances too. 45 Reg enough, might need a good support rider though, but a young one is there already. 3,042 good price. The question is only if fresim will keep him long enough and if he does if he will be online enough. Sold after missing the last moutain training in April. 80 mountain and 59 TT 4+4 training with 21, above average, then 3+1 in the first 3 trainings in April, above average as well, taking risks, then misses one and bye bye. Boring.80 mountain and 59 TT beginning of 23 could still have become a 90-60... or a 86-60 or something. Which for example in the Tour at 14h would have been one of the favorites. But 1 training for too many managers seems to be enough to kick riders.

Generally not that many young riders that I really like, saw no sprinter that I think is really really good either, some like Franconias too much Reg, others like Neutrogena not enough flat...
