Boonen sprinting has been very good so far this season

First time in a while I see name of 'Jetse Bol' in results. Seems like another Dutch rider that dominated U23 rankings to become very mediocore.
He was very strong during this years Ronde van Vlaanderen. I could see him becoming a very good rider for the cobbled classics
re: Jetse Bol, he had a string of injuries. Regardless of that, he's not really more than a classic rider. Besides many riders are good in the youth categories because it spans only 2/3 years of a generation. At the pro's they have to compete with the best of each generation. So many talents will fail. It's only normal.

One of best all rounders at the U23 level, Sean de Bie takes the European U23 title, ahead of very impressive lately Vakoc and Skujiņš.
Fantastic, hopefully OPQS or any other ProTour team will give him a contract after this performance.

Pff, the Dutch u23 riders weren't even participating
Who cares about them, they suck in elite category anyway.
Great 2nd place from Vakoc, he is incrediblly improving and i can see him in OPQS soon, could be very good rider in the future.
Van Avermaet just edges out Van Asbroeck on stage 3 of Wallonie. It was a terrific final 35 kilometers with lots of attacks because Kolobnev found himself pretty much isolated and so only 25 or so riders came in together.
*facepalm* thought there was no cycling today...*totally ignores Other Races thread*
