Cycle Sport picked off one of my pet subjects for the spring... assembling the roll of excellent young riders pouring into the sport. It occurs to me, though, that this story will take some work. So for now, let me recite their list, give you some names from my list, and then let's hear yours.
CS:
- Frank Schleck, CSC
- Simon Gerrans, AG2R
- Saul Raisin, CA
- Thomas Lovkvist, FdJ
- Markus Fothen, Gerolsteiner
- Danilo Napolitano, Lampre
- Pieter Weening, Rabo
- Jose Angel Gomez Marchante, Saunier
- Linus Gerdemann, T-Mobile
- Daniele Bennati, Lampre
Of course, the obvious flaw in my list is I haven't bothered with the French, Spanish and Italian teams yet. So this is a start.
Yours? How about top 5?
