Hmm, no stage wins, a couple of attacks but mostly hanging on to the Astana train, 1m 53s lead over Aru in the end, mostly thanks to 2 stages; TT and Mortirolo. I'd think it would take a strong rider to win a race like this year's Giro, but 'incredible' is not a word that springs to my mind. Had he done much less, he wouldn't have won and we probably wouldn't be having this conversation.
Incredibly strong and incredible are two different things. My point is he did not look "quite human." He was clearly the strongest rider over the three weeks, and only looked "quite human" on one day. Unless I'm forgetting something.
