He can't TT for toffee. Sky might improve that over time, but it's a medium to long term project rather than a short term one.
He was by far and away the strongest rider in the last week a year ago, and would've challenged Contador if he'd not had to ride in support of Aru. If he's close to that form this year then he'll be in contention again. He'll still lose at least 2 minutes to the likes of Nibali, Dumoulin, Valverde et al in the TT on Sunday, but will have ample opportunity to get some of that time, if not all of it, back in the following two weeks.
