Just 22-year-old and riding for the Leopard Development Team since 2012, Alex Kirsch is turning out to be one of the best all-rounders in the U23 ranks, with solid results in the Classics, individual time trials, sprints, and even some stage races, like the prestigious Tour de Normandie and Le Triptyque des Monts et Châteaux. This season, he had 11 top-10 placings, the highlight being a podium he got in the prologue of his home race, the Tour de Luxembourg.
