That’s a fair point, though judging by the opposition at the races, not just how prestigious the races are confirms that he is a rare talent (stating the obvious)
It will be really interesting to see how he gets on at the Giro. I think I’d like to see him get a bit of a kicking by the likes of Nibali. Remco is probably a good shout for the first pink jersey though...

Not to take anything away from him, as his performances so far have suggested he has the talent to compete at WT level, but he's won a few minor stage races so far. His only major race win was the Classica San Sebastian, and there he benefitted from other teams underestimating his abilities.
I'd like to see how he does in a more keenly contested stage race with a decent field, something like Paris-Nice, Romandie or the Tour de Suisse. It'll be interesting to see how he does in the Giro, but given the disrupted calendar, I'd not read a huge amount into it if he doesn't have a stellar race.
