Re:
10 wins actually, plus the points jersey at the Giro. A bit disappointed he got beaten two times by someone like Benett, but this is the first GT he finished since 2015, so he was always going to be a little rusty I suppose.
I wonder if he'll ride the Vuelta.
Zinoviev Letter said:9 wins already this year, including four Giro stages. That’s already much better than last year’s breakthrough year. I like watching this guy sprint - he is one of the very fastest sprinters, but probably slightly slower than some of his peers in the top group. So he beats the second and third tier guys with raw speed and beats top tier guys with his head. He consistently makes better decisions than his rivals. His positioning is superb, his timing is superb. You can learn a lot more about sprinting by watching him than you can by watching a rider who wins simply by being the fastest and loses if he isn’t.
It’s worth noting too that he has learned to make the right decisions. It isn’t some innate knack. He wasn’t always this good at it.
