For sure, the rest of the pros will now know that he has immense ability and isn't just a virtual cycling sideshow act. Showing off that level of being right up there at the end of hard stages is bringing him well-deserved attention.
Yeah, Jay Vine wowed everybody. His crash against his team director's car was kind of a rookie self-own, but after cutting himself up he made his way back to the action - that took strength and guts.
By definition, the Zwift Acad. deal was a 1 year contract. I wonder if he'll stay with Alpecin Fenix?
(Edit: Just read that he's signed a 2 year extension.)
I just found out he's from Canberra- my old stomping grounds. Surely he cut his cycling teeth doing hill repeats on Black Mountain.
