Astana

Yes, hence the "very promising rider" bit. He still took a ridiculously large step forward all of sudden in this Giro.

Agreed. If he was top 10 with one good stage probably about right.

But he's got strong and stronger and today will tell us a lot.

Now in saying that. Good climbers sometimes don't get seen when young as the stages are too short and the climbs not lot enough.
