Australia u21
The current best 19yo's are also in this u21 list.
This week I make a u20 list again, so with just the 19yo's. Today one less 19yo compared to yesterday, at the moment just 23x 19yo's.
About the question :"
what is the best to recruit/scout ?"
According to me this can be the best answered by looking at the big picture, and not just looking at one generation.
In CFF3 the cyclists are 7 seasons at their peak, and 8 seasons if you count the 31yo's as well. The real top cyclists are still good then.
The best is to look at all youth generations ( = 5 seasons ) to see what Australia needs,
ánd to look at the most common NT races on the calendar.
The
6 types of NT races that are almost every season on the calendar :
Flat-TT, flat-sprint, hills, cobblehills, flat-cobble and climb (sometimes with 1 or 2 flat sections).
By memory, so correct me if I'm wrong ; after these 6 most important types, there was 3x flat-hills and 2x hills-TT in all 9 NT seasons.
But sometimes one of the 6 most important types had 2 (the same) NT races on the season calendar.
So let's look how Australia will do in the future in those 6 most important types.
flat-TT =
flat-sprint =
hills =
cobblehills =
flat-cobble =
climb ( sometimes with 1 or 2 flat sections ) =
Blanc spaces, because it is a nice puzzle for all Australian managers to try to solve.
What helps to puzzle ; I posted lists of every generation, and most Australian managers can see the u23 DT and all golden CFF lists.
Of course, it is too difficult to estimate how good a very young Australian really will be ;
the talent rating is of influence, and even more important can be how good a manager trains the young Australian talent.
For those who don't like to puzzle ; it seems to me that recruiting/scouting in 19yo
cobblehills talents benefits the future of Australia.
But there are more good options (such as flat-cobble and even climb), and every toptalent (in no matter what) is welcome Down Under.
