One of the revelations of this year’s Giro has been Estonian Road Race Champion, Tanel Kangert. He was the man seen most often at the side of his Capo, Giro winner, Vincenzo Nibali (Astana & Italy) when the chips were down in the high mountains. Kangert was a successful junior in Estonia before moving to France to race in the amateur ranks. He was offered a stagiaire place with AG2R at the end of 2007 and signed with the team for seasons 2008 and 2009. But the results weren’t what rider or team expected and he reverted to the amateur ranks in France for 2010.
