My Take
Calmejane is exactly the type of cyclist I gravitate toward, the breakaway specialist who has to be brave enough to ride alone into the wind. Winning stages at both the 2016 Vuelta and the 2017 Tour de France is no small thing; those are the sport's biggest stages, and he left a real mark on them. At 184 cm he was tall for a climber, which makes his attacking instincts all the more interesting to me. I read him as a rider who trusted his own legs and his own timing, and I have a lot of time for that kind of nerve.
