This winters UIV Talents Cup for riders under 23 consisted of seven legs, starting in Amsterdam in October 2011 and ending in Copenhagen in the start of February 2012.

The seven winners:
Amsterdam: Jasper de Buyst – Jochem de Weer (BEL)
Ghent: Simon Yates – Owain Doull (GBR)
Zürich: Jan Keller – Stefan Küng (SUI)
Rotterdam: Dylan van Baarle – Ivar Slik (NED)
Bremen: Lionel Wust – Dominik Stucki (SUI)
Berlin: Ivan Saitsky – Atur Ershov (RUS)
Copenhagen: Lionel Wust – Dominik Stucki (SUI)

There were no official overall-competition in this year’s UIV Cup, but on an in-official ranking, based on the same points-system as in previous year, the Swiss team Wust – Stucki ended as No. 1 ahead of Danish team Casper Degn – Frederik Schwartz. Both the Swiss and the Danish team participated in four of the seven legs and Wust – Stucki won in Bremen and Copenhagen.

With a total of 96 riders from 13 nations the participation in this year’s UIV Talents Cup might have been a little less than in previous years – perhaps because of the World Cup’s and Olympic qualifications. Within the UIV must be discussed what shall be the future of this competition.

The final of the UIV Talents Cup proved a dramatic one. Danish boys Degn-Schwartz started strong by winning the first two sprints and fighting off attacks. Krigbaum-Poulsen and Folsach-Møller Nielsen both tried to get the decisive lap to win the race but to no prevail. The Swiss Stucki-Wüst rode very intelligently and when it came to the end they were simply too strong and claimed a double victory winning both the Copenhagen UIV Cup and the Overall UIV Cup. In the final sprint Degn-Schwartz still had a chance to win but Stucki-Wüst were strong and attacked with ten laps to go and held the lead, winning the final sprint.

The Fight Is Not Over

Folsach-Møller Nieslen /Reinhardt

Today’s stage of the UIV Talents Cup was quite intense. The Swiss team Stucki-Wüst fought hard to take the lead away from Danes Degn-Schwartz. The roles were turned completely around today as it was now the Danes who had to close gaps in order to defend their lead. The Swiss minimized the Danish advantage by 6 points so that before the final day only four points separate them. The stage was won by Folsach-Møller Nielsen who managed to win two laps and are now also on equal laps with the race leaders.

Decisive Stage?

/Reinhardt

Today’s stage of the UIV Talents Cup seems to have been a decisive one. Local boys, Degn-Schwartz won the stage but more importantly won 10 points on Swiss rivals Stucki-Wüst. The race was filled with attacks from several teams but in the end no one managed to win the lap and the stage was decided on points. Swiss team Stucki-Wüst fought a tough battle to keep their lead but in the end, exhausted, they had to accept defeat.

Danes Win the Stage - Swiss Claim the Lead

/Reinhardt

On today’s stage of the UIV Talents Cup, one team managed to win a lap. Folsach-Møller Nielsen showed great determination and spirit and won the lap which meant that they could ride defensively for the rest of the stage. In the GC, top teams Stucki-Wüst and Degn-Schwartz were watching each other like hawks. The teams were more or less even in the regular sprints and both showed great flair but in the end the Swiss proved the strongest, claiming the overall lead by 1 point.

Overall after 3rd day:
1 Dominik Stucki – Lionel Wüst (SUI), 50 p., 2 Casper Degn – Frederik Schwartz (DEN), 49 p., 3 Mathias Krigbaum – Jonas Poulsen (DEN), 28 p., 4 Michel Sandstød – Elias Helleskov Busk (DEN), 23 p., 5 Steffen Thomsen – Nichlas E.

The Swiss Fight Back

/Reinhardt

On today’s stage of the UIV Talents Cup in Copenhagen Swiss team Stucki-Wüst fought back. Yesterday local boys Degn-Schwartz claimed the lead but today the Swiss had changed their style a bit and, naturally, left it for the Danes to control the race. The stage result was never really in any doubt as the Swiss showed great strength in the sprints and quickly claimed a comfortable lead. The GC however was getting closer within the grasp of the Swiss riders but in the end the Danes defended their lead. A superior stage win for the Swiss however showed that this race is far from over.
Mathias Møller Nielsen was sick the entire day and therefore Casper Folsach rode the day alone.

Overall after 2nd day:
1 Casper Degn – Frederik Schwartz (DEN), 32 p., 2 Dominik Stucki – Lionel Wüst (SUI), 31 p., 3 Michel Sandstød – Elias Helleskov Busk (DEN), 17 p., 4 Mathias Krigbaum – Jonas Poulsen (DEN), 17 p., 5 Patrick Clausen – Alexandar Lander (DEN), 8 p., 6 Steffen Thomsen – Nichlas E.

The Russian team Ivan Savitsky – Artur Ershov won the expected overall victory after four stages of the UIV Talents Cup in Berlin. From start to finish they were the strongest team and only the Germans Maximilian Beyer – Hans Pirius ended up in the same lap as the Russians, but with far less points. Best of the rest were the Danes Frederik Schwartz – Casper Degn in 3rd place, one lap behind.

Final Result of UIV Talents Cup in Berlin after 4 stages:

UIV Talents Cup in Berlin, 26th to 29th January 2012
Russian team towards the Victory

The pattern in this leg of the UIV Talents Cup has been very "traditional". Already on the first stage one two teams manages to take a lap from the rest – and then control the race until the very end. The last stage today, Sunday, will show if this also will be the case in Berlin.
It looks very much like it. In every case the strong Russian team Savitsky – Ershov demonstrated their strength by winning the 3rd stage Saturday evening. When you look at the overall of the Elite 6-Days in Berlin, you might wonder, if the Russians should perhaps have placed the two Russian teams, participating in Berlin Elite/U 23, opposite…

Result after 3rd stage:
1 Ivan Savitsky – Artur Ershov (RUS), 51 p., 2 Maximilian Beyer – Hans Pirius (GER), 41 p., at 1 lap: 3 Frederik Schwartz – Casper Degn (DEN), 43 p., 4 Mateusz Nowak – Mateusz Nowaczek (POL), 35 p., 5 Dominik Stucki – Lionel Wüst (SUI), 31 p., 6 Max Stahr (GER) – Gerd Jan Immerseel (BEL), 26 p., 7 Sebastian Wotschke – Philipp Zwingenberger (GER), 20 p., 8 Samuel Horstmann – Nico Heβlich (GER), 15 p., 9 Michel Mracek – Jakub Filip (CZE), 13 p., 10 Patrik Konrad (AUT) – Harry Kraft (GER), 6 p., at 2 laps: 11 Berry Miller – Collin Berry (USA), 0 p., at 3 laps: 12 Achim Burkart – Michael Schmidt (GER), 7 p, 13 Nichlas E.

Nobody managed during the last four days of the UIV Talents Cup in Rotterdam to take the lap back from Van Baarle – Slik, which the Dutchmen won on the first stage and consequently they were the well-deserved winners in Ahoy. The last stage-win went to outsiders Kendler – Deweer, not unusual in a final where the top-teams watch each other’s. The Danes Lander – Degn (two times stage-winners) tried at the end of the stage a final attack, but in vain. In the overall Van Immerseel – Stahr took 2nd place ahead of the Danes.

Belgian Victory after hard fight with the Russians!

The Belgian team Jasper de Buyst – Jochem de Weer looked more and less as a certain winner-team before the final in the UIV Talents Cup in Amsterdam, but in the end they were hard challenged by the strong fighting Russian team Baranov – Yatsevich (coached by our old friend Marat Ganeev, himself and excellent 6-Days rider some decades ago). In the first Madison on Saturday the Russians managed to get even with the two leading teams, and in the final chase of 20 Minutes they tried again several times. But in the end they had to be content by taking 2nd place from the Swiss boys Stucki – Wust.
The Belgian winners made a fine impression, to the like of sportdirector Patrick Sercu: - We so much needs new Madison-riders in Belgium, and it looks like we have two very good candidates here, was his reaction after the race.
