Viewed as one of INEOS Grenadiers' big general classification hopes for the future, Carlos Rodriguez continued to show off his immense potential by claiming the Best Young Rider's jersey at the 2023 Critérium du Dauphiné.
"Happy with the way we’ve finished this Critérium du Dauphiné," said the 22-year-old Spaniard in a post-race update to his official Twitter account. "It hasn’t been an easy week for the team or me, but luckily we managed to win team GC and I got the white jersey."
On the final stage of the race, Rodriguez came home in 10th place, just over a minute down on the eventual stage winner, Giulio Ciccone at 1:03. In terms of the GC battle however it was another positive performance for the Spaniard who moved up to 9th overall and claimed the Best Young Rider's jersey by 1:34 from Team DSM's Max Poole.
"Looking forward to what’s coming next," concludes Rodriguez's Twitter post.

- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
- If you hold onto then, you blowup in a minute and then you finish 5 minutes down like Ben O'Connorabstractengineer21-12-2024

- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Lot of contradictory information floating around world cup contenders, someone should do some tidying up.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024
- The likelihood of RE improving enough at this point to outclass TP or JV is less than zero.verve82521-12-2024
