No palmares until the age of 26, when he breaks through with second at a grand tour. Possibly explicable because the Vuelta is 'a chipper', but now he is lighting it up at the tour as well. First mountain finish, and he leaves an elite field in shreds then finds the extra to leave Evans and Wiggins as well.
Either he didnt train until the age of 26, or he is benefiting immensely from the marginal gains of Sky. If they can take a rider who seemed anonymous at pro tour level until last year, what could they do with a rider like Gesink (who Froome is now head and shoulders above)?
