When Michael Storer arrived at this Tour of the Alps, he knew his days of sometimes flying under the radar were probably gone. After an imperious stage win and fifth overall at Paris-Nice earlier this season, there would be no rider or team left who didn't know Storer's name, and the threat he posed on tough stages.
Victory at the Tour of the Alps on Tuesday only solidified that theory, but what's more, Storer's performance on stage 2 has rocketed him into serious GC contention for the Giro d'Italia. If he wasn't on the contenders list already, he should be now.
