At Under-23 level Visconti was winning everywhere and looked like the next big thing whereas Nibali that was riding in the same seasons just a good time trialist, the history is full of similar cases. Heck, Popovich looked like Merckx so dominant he was.To think that Power had a better palmares at under 23 level than Moscon.

Watching him on a technical downhill gave me anxiety, he did pretty much everythin wrong from a technical perspective.Rumour is, he's switching to downhill MTB.
