We finish the keys to the year that begins with five outsiders to keep in mind
Let’s go with the icing on this cake of keys for the new year and I want to give five names to be outsiders in specific and key moments of the season.
Just as with Kike Molares we made a splash in the general predictions for 2024, in the podcast, here we stay in first and last name.
Bean Healy, a mantenerse
One of last year’s characters, a runner who did not emerge from nowhere, came with a certain baggage, but who burst into the middle of the Ardennes to put up a battle with Pogacar himself in the Amstel.
I admire his courage beyond all question, proposing the race as the great names that we all have in mind would do.
A triumph? I see him adding a classic from the Ardennesyou didn’t see this one coming.
Mads Pedersen, at the doors
If there was a rider who knocks at the table of the best in the classics, it is Mads Pedersen.
Leaving behind that stigma of unexpected world champion that many attached to him, He is one of the most valuable cyclists in the pelotonmanaging, every year, to add something important to their select record.
A triumph? He will repeat his success in a stone classic, like that time he won Ghent-Wevelgem the day Van der Poel and Van Aert neutralized each other.
Arnaud De Lie, everything to take the step forward
Intangibly, Arnaud De Lie has turned the tables on his team, with a clear path -without Caleb Ewan- to continue adding.
Furthermore, its versatility The way he connects with people gives him a “new Sagan” role. that with the original giving its last blows in BTT surely it does not despise.
A triumph? Stage in the Tour.
Mattias Skejmose, candidate for the Vuelta
Outside of the Tour de France, where last year some placed him as one of the outsiders on the podium, he is one of the stars who already knows that he will be in the Vuelta a España.
He does everything and everything well and I see him, inserted in a great team and drinking in the sweet moment of Danish cycling.
A triumph? The Walloon Arrow
Christope Laporte, deserved stripes
Although Visma may be an “all in” for Van Aert in the classics, we do not hide that behind the Belgian there are cyclists who have such a powerful amount that they could perfectly take the lead.
Apart from Van Baarle, we have Christophe Laporte, now European champion, whose nose for great things would be appreciated by good old Wout.
Be careful not to give the big names a few meters while they are monitored.
A triumph? The Olympic gold, which runs at home.
