6th in the World Juniors last year. Talented.

You do realise the OP was in relation to a World Tour race?

The one I'm interested in is Thibaut Pinot. Only two days of racing so far this year but this will be an important part of his build-up to the Giro. Hoping for big things from him this year.

TMN to @Dogtrousers...

Can I be the first to express the traditional outrage at the use of the word "minor". How dare you!

Great to see Terpstra back on top form at E3. I didn't see Le Samyn a few weeks ago but it sounds like it was a very similar kind of race - identical outcome, at least, including Gilbert taking 2nd place.

After his quiet 2017, I thought he might be past his best. Happy to be proved wrong.
