Kärsten has pent two seasons in the developmental system of Team DSM-Firemenich but despite showing signs of his promise, most notable at the Circuit des Ardennes, where he came close to a stage win, the German has not done enough to secure himself a contract with the senior team.

A strong transfer for the team that will get a new leader for hilly races and small stage races.
Kärsten has a decent TT and likes to attack to be in breaks. He can handle hills and in his 3rd U23 season needs some UCI results.

- Those are all impressive names on the multi year win streaks. Sure there will be some impressive names missing because of injury, illness or bad luck, but the doesn't reduce the fact that it is impressive to win across a lot of seasons like that.mobk05-03-2025

- Statistics say very complicated, is that before or after considering Remco’s setback? In any case, going for it will probably be a good base for maybe winning some other year. No need to force dreams.Mistermaumau05-03-2025
- Bit of a weird list if you compare the “insignificance” of certain wins against others, seems to be equating the latest off-beat village races à la Froome with monuments and WC. Also not really a reflection of talent or quality when injury or crashes can split your career into 2 series of 7 or 8 years to remove you from the list or even top, in that respect it’s interesting to see Primoz is still so high up ;-) Anyway, it’s only active riders, it’s only road results and it’s only pro so no mtb or cyclocross or junior results, a bit like considering winter Olympics aren’t part of the Olympics, which strangely we often do, maybe the time gap is too big for human memory to collate it all?Mistermaumau05-03-2025
- Sounds like it, not only conflict of interest, maybe racketeering, organised crime and corruption? But again, this is from reporters not journalists so it doesn’t really seem to have been investigated yet. If 2nd & 4th and director and jury president are surprised, WHO had the authority and took the decision, who (apart from own team-mates are these “many” riders and which phone card, bank account got credited with unusual sums around those days? That’s just for starters. The fact he’s already been fined seems this all somehow happened through some back alley.Mistermaumau05-03-2025
- He found a new way to cheat. Surely the conflict of interest meant he needed to step aside as a spokesperson.Pogboom05-03-2025
