Young Rider

Ok, just remove Thijsse.


Yann

checked, Thijsse definitely weakest of the 8.

Unfortunately 1 has to go, because 7 is the max. I'll explain why I think Thijsse should be that one. Because all his wins are from Div5 or lower. It is much less difficult to be a young rider in lower divisions, and he isn't even that young any more. A 24/25yo is basically a regular contender down there.

On Deferme I kinda agree with you though, because he actually got results with competition, aka a tour

Ok i'll add them both.
They had less points and had success in only 1 or 2 Tours so i considered it was less impressive than 5 victories for Thijsse and Deferme.
But i'll add both of them and we'll see what the community decides.


Yann

Agreed that Uchman should be in instead of Thijsse.
Baatar over Deferme is a difficult one, what Baatar did was really impressive in Volta, but also his only result. Deferme had a better overall season I would say.
edit: could also just add Baatar considering it's 6 names on this list now.

Did you consider adding Baatar Ariuntungalag and Gracjan Uchman? They impress me more than Thijsse and Deferme.

Small thing: spelling of Vuelta a Valparaìso
