Who is he? Hey, no problem, just check Wikipedia. His entry is four whopping lines long!

Hoping that this result is meaningful and dope-free, we’ll look forward to finding out more about this guy as the Giro progresses. (VeloNews says he won the under-23 U.S. time trial championship back in 2006 — oh, yeah, NOW we remember!) In the meantime, on the Universal Sports live coverage, he looked quick all right.
