Re:
We first discovered Landa as a GT talent in the 2015 Giro.
He rode nearly all the 2015 Giro as a domestique
He rode the 2015 Vuelta as a domestique
He DNF'd the 2016 Giro due to bad illness
He rode the 2016 Tour as a domestique
He crashed in the 2017 Giro
He rode the 2017 Tour as a domestique
So, the way I see it, Landa has gotten a podium in a GT and just missed a podium in the Tour having never ridden a full GT for GC.
That deserves insane hype, in my opinion.
