I won't add any rider born in 1995 or later. There's not a lot to go on from Junior races about a rider's ability.

 Björn Thurau - 23rd July 1988
Pretty surprised to not find him in the DB. He really is having a great season so far already. Very attacking rider. Comes well over hills. Probably has some potential as well. Improved from season to season. Since starting for Europcar he really made the next step in the WT.
Christoph Pfingsten - 20th November 1987
Allrounder. Good time trialists. Decent puncheur. Was 3rd in last years Circuit Ardennes behind Zoidl and Eibegger. 3rd in 2012 Royal Smilde Olympia`s Tour just ahead of Rohan Dennis. 16th in the 2013 Castilla y Leon.
Not sure if adding riders is still possible. I mentioned those two earlier but as they are not in the DB, I ask again. 
Is it due to the amount of talents added already as with the Norwegian example? In especially in Thurau`s case after he is having a great season so far. |

I it still okay to post talents? Dont know how, but i somewhat forgot to suggest (if i did not miss it in this large thread when scrolling back) big slovakina talent in person of Michael Kolar.
 Michael Kolář

Coming from Dukla Trencin, this young sprinter became part of Saxo-Tinkoff this year and already is gaining nice results for his team, like 9th in last stage of Tour Down Under or now in Langkawi ( four top8 places including winning the sprint of the bunch in semi-hilly stage, finishing 4th).
Last year he did well in some U23 races and won Kosice-Miskolc and stage at Tour of Serbia.
About his skills. He is a pure sprinter, but not bad over the speedbumps and also very decent prologue rider. I think he is very talented for the future, that is the reason why Saxo signed him in the end. He is no Sagan, but can become mini version of him maybe, just more for the flat stuff...

Oh gosh, now i spotted him at Milka, i missed him beacuse of mispelled first name. 
And i see he is becoming a climber, not a sprinter.

To be honest I feel that we don't really need more talents this year. I think we got spoiled last year when we had a crazy influx, but this year is closer to more normal (Season I started the biggest talent was Guldhammer iirc)
There has been some nations that hasn't got top talents this season, but for example Switzerland got Schelling + last year. Aslo, poeple shouldn't just look at the level 1 talents, there has been added some sneaky good riders at level 2/3

Well, you maybe have a shitload of talents in your focused countries, but there are very few from eastern Europe this year (bar Russia maybe). But yeah, there are some nice talents for everybody...

Ukraine got more riders than almost any other country last year so didn't need many this year.

I was not pointing out lack of Ukrainian talents...

Yep, France has very few this year but when you consider last year's influx none of us can complain. |

Also, dont forget that we have 20more teams in CT division now, that was probably the reason for bigger influx of talents than seasons before (in times when Guldhammer was biggest talent).
But regulation of this influx is good, especially when one country should have massive amounts of riders coming (like mentioned Norway).

Well, I don't know if guys that never have done anything, or even completed in official races, should be added, but a young rider added from Macau would be very interesting for our nationality focus at least |

Sorry, the link didn't work, but I searched for riders with Macau-nationality. Should be about 5 in the database there. |
