I think the only other rider in my lifetime to have come in to their first TdF and performed like this is Jan Ullrich. I mean obvs, he was probably doped to the gills in hindsight, but at the time he was a total prodigy. Many of us on here were saying, just 6 weeks ago, it was too early for Bernal. And maybe it still is, young uns have that risk of burn out, but shit.... even his TT today shows he could potentially be winning it next year.
