It's no secret that the top riders in men's cycling are getting younger and younger every season. Just look at the recent Strade Bianche, for example, with four riders in the top six still being 23 or younger, and 19-year-old Paul Seixas grabbing everyone's attention by taking second behind Tadej Pogačar.
Riders often speak of a post-Covid-19 pandemic boom, with the peloton's level since 2020 exploding upwards and only continuing to rise as advancements are made to training methods, equipment, and nutrition, but also as a more professional generation of juniors look to pave their way into the WorldTour.
