Firsanov trained at Seiser Alm before the Giro! Apparently the whole Gazprom squad did!?

Oh, well that makes it normal, then. A training camp can turn any non-climbing tt specialist into a mountain beast.
No, really. Just ask this man.

What does a 4th place in l'Avenir mean then? Look at who's in front of him... Lopez and Power are good climbers too.

So was Slagter. So was Jaco Venter. So was Gilbert.
As a pro he's been nowhere. Even in this very Giro.
