Perhaps because of his nationality or because of his lack of English, Zakarin is not being talked about much. But of all the up and comers he has the best combination of time trialling and climbing skills. I can see him getting a GT win in the next year or two. Sadly, he really is a convicted doper so for the next five or ten years another grand tour winner will be linked with drugs.
I'm still not convinced about Thomas. He won Paris-Nice (by 4 seconds from Contador) after the big mountain stage was cancelled and a couple of wins in Algarve don't persuade me much.
