I love these comments in particular:

He was a national champion ice hockey player (true!) and dabbled in triathlon before starting road racing just over four years ago

followed by

A 10-month season is rare among modern professionals

You gotta be kiddin' me! This guy is off the charts: dual professional athlete, just took up RR a four years ago, dabbled in triathalons, then WHAM...2 years later 3rd in the baby Giro, now the guy is completing a 10 month season with UCI Pro's.

Would love to see his power #'s. i wonder if most UCI Pro's start off with this kind of destruction of their competition?

Sounds like Lance when he made the transition from triathlon to road racing. That said, there was always Bernard Hinault who just killed everyone from the get go... LOL
