+ 1st and 3rd in GC. Impressive but I remember Albert climbing very good in the past in this race aswell
Herkotz isn't a cross rider. Or would you say that a cross rider/mountainbiker won the green jersey in this years Tour?
His definiton was probably "rode cross last winter", which indeed fits to all three riders.
On that subject: Next race for Silvio should already be Avenir, and that might very well be his last race this season as well.
And does someone know what happened to Matej Mohoric lately?
He crushed everyone last season, and now finishing 18th overall in Qinghai Lake is his best result so far.

Will he continue to race some cyclo-cross in the winter or focus completely on the road?
No idea.
He isn't active at all in any social network, and the Stölting FB page is obviously focusing on the present.
I tried contacting them a few times, but to no avail so far.
Worst thing is they raced in my university town last weekend, but I was at a concert and couldn't attend.
After more than 3 hours of racing, he did 7 minutes with 430 watts during the last climb, which translates to 6,2 watts/kg.
5.3 W/kg for half an hour is quite good I suppose? It also says that Italian youth races are much cleaner now then in the last 10 years?

It's good figures, but nothing impressive compared to a good pro conti rider, or a decent pro world tour circus rider.
But it's nothing freaky like what was announced for his hills title (6,9 W/kg during a dozen of minutes at the end of a race).

His 6,9 W/kg were at a TT where he had nothing but warm-up-time in his legs.
Oh lordy this could be tight as well. Within 3km of the finish in whichever stage of the Tour of Denmark and the breakaway has 25" advantage over the peloton, reportedly.
Time for another "Phinney" by Lars Bak?
Edit #1: Nope, Lar Bak caught just in time and Magnus Cort Nielsen takes out the stage victory!
