We'll see. I think Thomas can handle himself in the mountains, plus he'll have Landa to play off. I don't think he'll win it but I reckon he can finish in the top 5.
It's a shame you can't do both the classics and the GTs these days. But, as @skinny points out, Luke Rowe is a more than able deputy. He looked strong last year and is another year older and wiser, so I'd expect him and Stannard to have a good spring.

Yeah but them spikey Italian mountains, I remember how badly Wiggins came unstuck going up and then down them. I know G can climb, I just don't think he can climb with the best of them over 3 weeks. And he had the potential to be a monster in the classics, in 2015 he looked incredible.
