Who has the class from the younger ranks to win a classic/semi or big tour stage?
Any other popular selections and I'll add them to the poll.
No d r u g s comments - lets be positive for a change(Pardon the pun)

I hope he will step up but it will be difficult to have such a good year as the one just gone. |

Richard Hill - no doubting it - based on last seasons performances he's just bubbling under the surface.

 AJ does get carried away!
One step at a time he is only officially a 1st year junior this year. |

I voted for Ciolek as he's proven himself against the German pro class to win the title in 2005 against Zabel/T-Mobile/Gerolsteiner,etc and then went to the Worlds last year in Austria as the favourite and delivered and also snagged a pro win last year as well.
Has all the makings of a good solid sprinter who can do well in the Classics like Museeuw, Boonen, Zabel, Freire,etc
Janez is about another 2 years away I think from making it big - he's scarily skinny though

| Iban Mayo - I definitely think he could snag a stage in the Giro. Good climber on his day. |
