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 !!

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

I reckon Meintjies is building for the Vuelta

 

Gonna be interesting as he is the best candidate for the GC

Meintjies will come off a high level having ridden with the pro's. Well done

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.
