Kokoso said:For me not so big surprise, he's really, really good. Doing some great first grand tour of his, with stage win then clever fighting for top ten, even putting in a good survival fight with little virosis. He'd need another ITT but In the third week he can climb up through the GC, or fall down, or stay right where is now, which actually is pretty good. But any place higher is obviously better and somebody can suffer crisis.
konig being on smaller team has probably helped him,. hes their focus so had his objectives set early, hes one of few riders here who knew back in march hed do one grand tour and it would be the vuelta.
net app have certainly earned their place, might hire brammier or an irish rider to get into giro next year.
