Oomen looks to be in some fine form, PCS has him listed for Vuelta. It will be exciting what he can achieve as a 21 year old, so far he has been really great in some smaller stage races.

Ganna looks like quite a really promising time-trialist, haven't noticed him before but he's 21 and he got 5th at California's ITT and 12th at the Italian ITT champs before today, last year when he was 20 he had some really great U23 results too - actually won Paris - Roubaix Espoirs + 2nd in the U23 EU ITT and 6th in the Road Race.
Also looks like UAE is trying to keep him out of the biggest races for now so as to not overwhelm him while his still young and keep the pressure off him.

He also set the (World? not sure) record in track cycling individual pursuit last year. Amazing talent.
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Very interesting race, I think TdP should end by mountain stages like this in future, 3rd Poels lost to Teuns only 3 seconds in final GC. Bora missed great chance for victory thank to bad tactics (Sagan looked like he wasn't know what to do, he shouldn't wait for Majka), as always, fully deserved win by Teuns.

I said it a while back, Enric Mas is a beast. He will ride the Vuelta. As will other interesting and young climbers (all taking part in Burgos) such as Rosón, Miguel Angel, Marc Soler and Richard Carapaz. Will be interesting to see the next generation!
