I'm really glad that Barguil had such a great tour. If felt like he was never going to live up to the potential after winning those two stages at the Vuelta in 2013. And the guy is still only 25. I don't really go in for the business of supporting a team, but it is hard not admire Sunweb this year.
I think three teams who have relatively low budgets; Sunweb, AG2R and Cannondale-Drapac, had outstanding Tours.
A lot is made of Sky's budget, but these three teams demonstrate that if you have a motivated team with good back up, you can punch well above your weight.
