Looked like Brennan couldn't shift his gears for the final sprint?

It's not a great field with his main rivals out of form perhaps. But it's another race that leaves you wondering what he might be capable of?

Markus Sander Hansen preventing Sweden from getting their first men's pro win in 10 years, winning the final stage of Estonia.
Salvarani's famous Hansen Hate just intensified.

He also won the GC.
Sander Hansen, not Salvarani.

Brennan does it! Had to come a long way around in the end but he got it right infront of Kristoff.

Impressive from him yet again.

Feels like a baton being handed from one generation to the next? Could see Brennan having a similar palmares to Kristoff, but quite a few years earlier?

The ability to sprint really fast uphill gives brennan a significant edge on Kristoff's historic capabilities methinks. So, yes I think he will ring up wins faster.

Kristoff wasn't all that great earlier in his career. Brennan is a way bigger talent. So was Edvald Boasson Hagen though, so you never know.

Brennan could have won all 4 stages of this race, very much like a young EBH.
