Is it just my imagination or is Brad beginning to take on some
important characteristics of Larent Jalabert? I wonder if this guy
ain't going to start winning polkadots.

I think he's got higher (no pun intended) ambitions.

Have some perspective. This is the Giro, not the Tour.

What, extactly, do you mean? Granted he's looking impressive in the
Giro, but he's yet to go on a long solo on a hilly day in pursuit of
mountain points.

That was very late Jalabert. The Jalabert of 1995-2000 showed himself to be
a threat for GC in the big tours, more in the Vuelta than France, but
still in France was a factor.

Brad seems to be changing from someone that wanted to be either a sprinter
without a sprint (Hardly Aussie at all in that case) or a rolleur without a
long breakaway.

Now he seems to be changing into a GC guy before our very eyes.
