Haha, yeah I remember I started getting into pro cycling again the year he was in the rainbow jersey, and not knowing his age thinking maybe he was someone who had passed his peak since I never saw him win anything.
He won the WC before he won a stage in a WT-race, and I remember people were very dismissive of him as the world champion. But he was literally 23 years old and just starting out in leadership roles.
