Yeah, he looked really strong. Needs to work on his pre stage IV though. His very relaxed "not sure if I'll have a go today or tomorrow, will have to see" screamed "I'M DEFINITELY GOING FOR THIS ONE!"
It’s a great result although I’m sure he hoped for more from the Vuelta.
Interesting aside (well I find it interesting) - there are not actually podium places for 2nd and 3rd in GT stages. Only the stage winner and the various jersey winners go to the podium.
