Same here. George is a very cool guy, who has come of age big time, having worked so devotedly for Lance all these past years, he's in a position where if trained right physically and mentally he could very well be a tough TDF contender next year, he is what called an "all arounder", can TT, can sprint, can TTT witht the best and most importanly now, can climb very good. It won't be a Lance, but sure a tough contender who could even match Basso next year. I think he needs to work more on his attitude IF he's to do that, from the "eh, let's see what happens, domestique mentality to the winner, killer instinct mentality of Lance. Basso already have that "killer instinct" look, if you saw his face yesterday leading Armstrong, that's what Georgie needs, the killer punch!
