The regens are coming soon, I think.
In the mean time, has there been one (or several) rider(s) that has stood out to you as either being really good or really bad?

Yeah.
Betancur surprised me.
While I expected guys like Aru, Mohoric etc. To get in the mix by now.
Oh, and Kelderman disappointed ofc

Dan Martin surprised me by doing nothing when he should've been in his prime, but winning the worlds and Lombardia wheb he should've started declining.

2020, the turn of the decade! A new decennium full of possibilities and new faces! Well, no... not really, the faces are pretty much the same as before.
As tradition dictates, someone rather anonymous must win Tour Down Under, this time it was Ian Boswell. This was followed by Betancur winning P-N, as a sign of what was to come from the Colombians. We've seen nations dominate, but not since 1943 has someone dominated Europe in such a fashion.
Marcel Kittel took his first win of the season by coming in just ahead of Cav in Milan - Sanremo, a race Cavendish was hoping to win for a 7th time, thereby equaling "The Cannibals" record. Sadly for him, this was not to be and since he isn't getting any younger one must wonder if this was his last chance. He did however show himself in the Tour, as before, by taking his 48th stage win and his 6th green jersey, equaling Zabel. With perhaps just one good season left in him, can he accomplish the three feats; 7 Sanremos, 7 green jersey and 50 stage wins? All that is certain is that Kittel will be right on his tail.
Alexander Kristoff, the 2-time World Champion, showed that there is no such as the "curse of the rainbow jersey" by winning E3 Harelbeke, Gent-Wevelgem and Paris-Roubaix all in the same year, before taking a nasty fall in the 19th stage in the Tour, a fall I will come back to.
In the first Grand Tour, Froome was back to see if he still had it in him. Having stated he would go for the 5th Tour, this was also one of his major goals. Sadly for him, he "only" came 2nd behind Nairo Quintana who took yet another GT-win for Colombia. As mentioned earlier, this was just the start of something bigger. Kittel, argueably the best sprinter in the world, and perhaps of all time, took a 5th point jersey and his 35th Giro-stage win.
Heading over to France for the second GT, everybody hoped for excitement, something the Tour certainly hasn't been lacking in the recent years. Even though he had been showing clear signs of weakening, Froome was still among the favourites, along with Betancur. After only a few mountain stages, it was clear that Colombia would dominate and after 18 stages they had three(!) riders in the top 4; Betancur in yellow, Quintana in 2nd and Henao in 4th.
This was before the 19th stage where Henao went down in a crash along with Kristoff. Both had to retire, Kristoff was out for the rest of the year and Henao for just about a week. This ruined Colombias hoped of getting the full podium. Betancur won for a third time in 4 years, but it was incredibly close behind him. Only 9 seconds seperated the 2nd and 4th rider. Froome had to see his dreams of a 5th Tour dissapear, being beaten by even Boasson Hagen, who took the Polka jersey.
Rigoberto Uran who had been out of the GT-circus for some years was back and determined to make it three out of three for Colombia. He wasn't the only one with that idea; they ravaged the Vuelta, getting four in the top 5, only Sagan ruining the perfect result. This is the first, and only, time since 1964 that one nation have won all Grand Tours in the same year, the acchievement was first done by Anquetil and Poulidor for France.
Germany also made a real steal, taking both WC-titles. They had come close in the past with Martin winning and Kittel taking 2nd, but now they made it. Martin, who now has 8 ITT-titles to his name, is a red hot favourite for breaking the barrier many thought we would never speak of; double figures, 10 WC-titles.

Don't get too excited; the only reason why they won is because during the last three years there have only been 4-5 riders below 25 in he GTs. The ones who win the youth jersey always finish something like 2 hours behind and in 150th place in the GC.
In this years Tour, Luke King was the only rider in the Youth-competition.

Doesn't sound like Daily's xml's are doing too well... maybe they need to be modified a bit. |
