VeloHuman said:Another rider who really impressed me this season was Jon Izagirre, now headed to Movistar. His versatility was surprising: we knew he could climb, but he did a beast time trial in the Tour de Pologne on the way second place in GC in that race, and took a top 10 (with a fast finish) in a one-day race, the GP Montreal. He's still only 24, so it looks like the rich get richer at Movistar.
