There are many young riders who, once again this year, have stood out by winning prestigious races and obtaining important positions in the races of the World Tour calendar and in the Pro Series.

We have analyzed some protagonists for you: in addition to the 'usual suspects' Evenepoel (22 years old), Ayuso (19), Girmay (21) and Carlos Rodriguez (21) , there are some athletes who, after a brilliant 2022, have the opportunity to to be talked about again next season.

Write down these names!

This is the case, for example, of the youngest winner of the year: Madis Mihkels (19), a talent acquired by Intermarché Wanty Gobert who won a stage at the Tour of Estonia at 18 and finished fourth in the Under 23 World Cup. and sixth in the Gran Piemonte.

The Bahrain Victorius saw in him great qualities thanks to family quality (his father raced in the past in Liquigas): it is Fran Miholjevic , first at 19 in a stage of the Giro di Sicilia.

And what about Mathias Vacek , 20 year old from the Czech Republic second in both the European Championship and the Under 23 World Championship. Next year he will race for Trek Segafredo, a team convinced by his brilliant performances such as the victory in a stage of the UAE Tour and from the sixth to the Veneto Classic.

Arnaud De Lie needs no introduction: nine career victories and he turned twenty last March. A lot of races await him and, perhaps, a great stage race, Lotto permitting.

Who has exploded, and still has ample room for improvement, is Magnus Sheffield , a 20-year-old American who won the Brabant Arrow. At Ineos they believe in him and in his teammate Ben Tulett, a Brit who has already raced the Giro d'Italia and finished in many one-day races.

Finally, pay attention to these three names for 2023: Olav Kooij of Jumbo Visma (21), already fifteen career victories in sprints, Bastien Tronchon , French Ag2R who won a stage at the Vuelta Burgos as an intern (20 years old ) and Mattias Skjelmose Jensen , another Trek Segafredo talent who at 21 took home the Giro del Luxembourg and finished the Giro d'Italia.

Italians? For next year we are confident in Jonathan Milan , Olympic gold on the track and winner of two stages at the Tour of Croatia (just before turning 22) and Antonio Tiberi. The 20-year-old from Lazio won a stage of the Tour of Hungary and closed the Vuelta di Spagna. We await a decent leap in quality from him.

We are preparing their value in ghosts for 2023, who will you bet on?
