Not taking anything away from his win, I think it's awesome.
You are probably right, he has been around awhile (and with Jumbo Visma), but didn't have a contract just a few months ago and was ready to quit pro cycling. And, according to the GCN commentators this morning, this Giro is Taco's first Grand Tour.

I'm heading downstairs to point my shifters inward. That's gotta be it, right?

It’s for sure the shifters—if only they didn’t look so bad pointed in.

No, it’s not. It’s the name “Taco.” Nine months from now there will be a lot of young Tacos in the Netherlands.

Great to see Dombro win today. He won it like a boss. Long time coming.

I remember Sky principals in 2014 ****-talking him because he wouldn't race injured.

A gritty win for Joe on a day with real ****ty weather. Glad I put him on my fantasy squad. Somehow, I’ve managed to pick 3 out of 4 stage winners—by far the best I’ve ever done in velo games. I know it can’t last but I feel like this:

Palestine Start Up really chose a great line up. In this year’s Giro—having Bernal was key—something I didn’t do thinking Yates or Almeida would be the ticket. *sigh* good times though
