For various obvious reasons it's tempting to name the thread "Marc Hirschi is the new Cancellara", but I think that joke's pretty played out, and I don't want to stereotype him.
He does clearly deserve his own thread though. Only just 22 years old, has showed up with panache, instinct, style and power everywhere in the WT in the last two years. After his two impressive almost-stage wins at the 2020 Tour especially, I don't doubt he'll rack up wins in the coming years in many different sorts of races, so I'm getting on early on the Hirschi-support train.
Is he the new Cancellara? He sees himself as a puncheur and Classics racer, but there's probably always some pressure to ride for GC. I just hope he won't lose his aggression somewhere on the way.
