Yates gave an early season indicator of his road form with third in La Cote Picarde in the UCI under 23 Nations' Cup back in April. Noteworthy performances followed in the Ardennes Challenge, where Yates went home with the overall, king of the mountains and best under 23 rider jerseys, and May's An Post Ras, as Yates topped the youth classification. If its exploding on the climbs then hopefully I can try and get up there on them but with being an under 23 it is going to be hard, but I'm looking forward to giving it a shot. In 2012's edition, Yates rode alongside Josh Edmondson in the Great BBritain team withthe latter's exertions earning praise. The 21-year-old signed for Team Sky for the 2013 season as a neo-pro and for Yates of what a strong ride in the event can do for aspiring riders. Yates said, it's a perfect showcase. If a lot of the big teams are riding it, and you show yourself as Josh did on a couple of stages, it really opens their eyes and you can show them firsthand how good it is. It's a massive opportunity. Ironically, the future of the most promising double act ever in British cycling looks to be in Australia. Well-placed sources maintain that the Yates brothers have signed for Orica-Greenedge, the Australian equivalent of Team Sky. Adam will not be drawn on it. If they live up to the promise they have jointly shown this year and do so at Australia's flagship team, Sir Dave Brailsford and his fellow managers at Team Sky could end up kicking themselves. A lot of the time that's the best way to do it. Its decided on the road. Yates told.
