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.

- Oh, so now you know Pog better than he knows himself? Saying that when at the same time you can see an article quoting Pog saying “sometimes I don’t know why I attack” and not ever analysing emotions as men tend to is really rather naive and reductive. Hardly worth wasting our planet’s energy and ressources for. How about elevating the discussion to think over things a bit deeper?Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- They couldn’t convict him criminally because he paid up to escape it (that weird American possibility that ensures not all are equal before the law). He was convicted civilly but technically for committing crime. I on the other hand live in a country where unexplained damage to a baby in your care in theory leads to minimum 5 years of prison, if you admit an accident it’s more lenient but telling the truth that you don’t know how a bump on the skull happened exposes you to the as much risk as some who murder and rape. The developed world doesn’t deserve that designationMistermaumau20-11-2024
- Doesn’t deserve criticism considering all he won with all the crashes plus how close he got to a TdF (Pog had luck). If Pog and Jonas battle and wipe each other out we have Remco and Primoz to put on a show.Mistermaumau20-11-2024
- Agreed. Until he can stay upright on his bike, he’s at best an incomplete for a grade. That doesn’t mean that on his best form he can’t win it all. We just haven’t seen it.mij20-11-2024
