Power Poll Youngster of the year 2009
Don't know the excast meaning of it but when Chris put it up there is ranking involved. Excactly what I'm going to do.. I wrote a post of th Youngster 2009 (with help of some comments) here. Here I'm going to rank some, not all, in number.. Why now? Eehm why not? Youngsters doesn't usually very well in GT so no need to include the Giro.
So start!
1 Edvald Boasson Hagen
What a surprise! But what a beautifull win in GW. Pure gold and on his age such a killerinstinct.. They rode with 25 cyclist in the breakaway! And he manage to get the win! And if that's not god enough. 4th in Monte Pasachi el blabla.. (You know.. Where the Swedish guy won.. What is his name again?) and 2 second places in the Trofeo's.. Not a bad start but a little predictable for everyone.. Ooh we can enjoy him in the Giro! Excited? Yes! Maybe a Greipel stage!?
2 Taaaaraeme
That Cofidis guy. I admit I underestimate Taaraeme. 3 in Romandie.. Almost winning a stage and the only one who where found close to Kreuziger. Let's hope he can because I like the guy. His look a like, in cyclist perfomance, Kangert is nowhere to be seen. (Think I read that he has some injury and he's afraid he is nevver going to be race anymore)
3 Swift.
What I said
Great Brittain has talent!
And indeed they have.. He didn't know what he could.. Was trying stuff out he said after his second place in Nokere Koers. And so he did.. He was close at the Vuelta el Pais Vasco and Nokere Koers with 2 second places.. The new Cav? Why can they only time trial and spring in Great Brittain?!
4 Uran Uran
Rigoberto. Quiet season so far.. But watch out.. Don't think he is at his top form. Already was fifth in Romandie and was draging the group of favorites.. Couldn't hang on by Kreuziger but he has lots of changes left.. Suisse, Spain?
5 Coppel
French guy (D'uh!) Haven't seen him but in the shadow he's perfoming ok. Won the Route Adelie de Vitre a catagorie 1.1 race. Did ok in Criterium Jens! with a 6th place. What can we expect more? Some climbing and tt.. Wait for the Dauphine, I think, or some of the numerous French courses to see him in action..
6 Galimzyanov
Ok.. I never heard of the guy but he can sprint? 5th in Nokere Koers and second in some Italien race behind good looking ass, just heard that, Bennati. Maybe he sprint again in some smaller stages but with Swift, Steegmans, does he sprint? and McEwen not too much chance..
John Lee Augustyn
Not ranked. Raced to few/less. But watch out.. He's racing the Giro.. Don't know who it is? Remember.. Downhill and TdF 2008.. You remember
20/21
Ciolek/Mollema
What I said about Ciolek.
This is gonna be the future of spring. A Freire type who's gonna rock..
Or something like that.. OUCH! The shame.. Where was he.. Afraid of camera's.. The pre first year season.. Don't know but dissapoinig Herr Ciolek.. Phil will explain..
Mollema
Too early to put some conclusions on it? Maybe.. He was 19th in Californio and after that.. Misere as we say in Dutch. Hope he's going to be OK. He will doesn;t he.. Maybe Lopex or Tedvdw has a explanation? Saw nothing in the news but I have to get a nice , ahum, talk on school so I'll search later..
Edit: Mono he has. Thanks to Lopex
Please correct me or put riders in do anything.. I love discussions!
p.s. As you know.. Grammar is not that good.. Sorry for that!

Mollema has mono

You missed Mauro Finetto. Tenth in 3DdP, first in Hel van het Mergelland, 2 stages and 6th place in the tour of turkey. If Sella wouldn’t have been such a &$&(* last year Finetto would be winning the Giro.

Where should you put him?
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
Franzoi wins Parijs-Roubaix and I win a date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak..
Gesink and Goos are doing good too
i remeber seeing GOos at front in some cobbles classics, and finish in third in Gent.
About Gesink, he did nice in ToC, Amstel finish in the front group (3th) and in Tour of Pais Basco i think finished in top 10 too. This year he improved in his ITT skill.
He can TT so much better as Nibali!

But I'm not going to include Gesink.. He seems sooo old and wasn't there in the previous post..
About Goss.. I’ll check it out… Maybe he get his sentence :)

Ben Swift is won for the future, if he keeps to the course.
Not the new Cav, he rode Pais Vasco. Cav may have died at the hands of the Basque if he’d ridden.
Nut Swift is younger?
Give him some time and I admit. The new Cavendish is probably to high but he’s surely doing great. Give him some time and maybe he founds out he can climb well. Than it’s gonna be a Cunego type

Swift held the mountains jersey for several days in the Tour of Britain last September.
Ended up coming in second for KOM after Di Luca, but not bad for a sprinter.
You need to do this race two or three times before you can win, despite what Cunego showed us last year: winning in his first try--Frank Schleck, on Amstel Gold
Nothing to do with this thread
but methinks someone from Cycling Weekly has been spending too long here.
most of the tourists and tifosi were their to see Armstrong
Something contagious in the water, perhaps?
