In order to keep track of the development of riders, the Tour de l'Avenir is usually a good place to look as that is where glory first struck many riders. Some grew to become superstars, others not so much. Here's the chance to see who did what and when.
I need to remind you that the Tour de l'Avenir is often a collaboration between teams, so the team name next to the rider, may vary from his actualy team at the current time.
