Had the second fastest time in the prologue. He is in his first year as a pro rider and has not been riding for very long at all. This is really frickin cool if you ask me. There is an interview here, bottom video:

I guess there was a lot of change in the wind directions throughout the day that probably helped him, but it's still cool to have a former college runner doing so well in such a big race.
