I read that they presented the best young rider jersey on the podium to the 2nd placed rider and not to Louis, even though he won it !!!

 

What tjops !!

 

Great ride though.

A good race for MTN: a fifth on GC, second in points, first young rider and fourth in team classification!

 

Brilliant

They're nice and steady on that learning curve

He has a famous South African cycling name:

Lourens Meintjies was South Africa's first world champion in any sport.

In 1893, three years before the first modern Olympic Games in Athens, Meintjies won the 50-mile cycle race in a world-record time at the first world championship event in Chicago. He never made it to the Olympics, SA missed the first couple and only participated from 1904.
