Looking good for promotion to Conti Pro with 2 of my riders progressing to 4-star and another rider of that caliber signed. Cole Kessler is the most exciting signing though, he has grand tour winner potential.

Jez Cox You mentioned Everesting just now, and while Cole Kessler is in the breakaway, i thought i’d mention as a junior, he held the US National record for junior everesting (and was second in world as junior everesting!!)!! fun fact!!

Allez Cole Kessler!! Tour de Wallonie & GP de Wallonie

3rd in the Giro + a stage win is a great first grand tour for Cole Kessler. Gonna call it a save after this season, I've won a monument, a few WT level one-weeks, and podiumed a grand tour so I've accomplished what I want to. Finale is trying to win the Vuelta with Kessler.

Hints getting dropped everywhere. Just got this sent over by one of my American followers. Any ideas? #devoremix

Cole Kessler has been crowned U23 US National TT champion 👑🇺🇸 Congrats, Cole! 👏🙌

🇺🇸Cole Kessler, the next "El Tractor" in line? Lets have a look at what kind of rider he is, his power and how he can be a valuable asset to a team. His weight is 74kg. #DomestiqueData by Dieter Loos

1) His timetrial As he recently became the U23 timetrial champion (40' at 410w), it's obvious that he has a good timetrial. Add to that he's never been in a wind tunnel, that's even more impressive, so he could be even better.

2) His huge engine He uses that both to domestique and in the breakaway. - Worlds U23 Zurich: 370w for 120' - In the break 3 out of 5 stages in Tour de Wallonie last year - 20' power Janaury 2023: 440w (460+ now) - 4* back to back 15' at 400+ - 4* back to back 5' at 500+

3) Other stengths - His punch: for example 1' at 840w - Not afraid to work: his dream is to have a Tim Declercq like role - Perseverance: endured a lot of bad luck (crashes, sickness), but always kept going - Positioning: always at the right side of a split

If you want to contact him, his agent is Wasserman cycling!

Only 1 day later and Cole Kessler is already proving his worth. Domestique for Quinn Simmons (who has some very nice words to say about Cole) and still only dropped on the last climb of the day in the battle for the bronze medal. Amazing ride🫡🇺🇸🦅

6th in Lombardia u23 as a 2m rider, whom else can say he did that?
