Dunno, the seated sprinter himself thinks he was in a good position halfway the last km. Maybe he should have done it like you say.
Has he ever won a sprint in a group of more than 5 riders? Off the top of my head, I can't think of an example.
He's got a decent finish, but he isn't explosive in the way Degenkolb, Kristoff and Sagan are.
He admits in that piece 'I had six world class sprinters in front of me'.
They're meant to be behind you Fabs.
I'd like to be proved wrong but I think the years have caught up.
