Who knows. EBH was very good in his first few years at Sky, then he just stopped winning in 2013 and 2014. Perhaps it was because Sky were a bit crap at the classics, perhaps because Sagan emerged as an even better all-round talent. Some athletes are phenomenal when young and then just seem to lose their way.

I heard the argument made, can't remember who, that Sky not only didn't use EBH to his best advantage, but furthermore that they had sort of broken him due to over-use. It's true he was doing poorly for a season or two before the switch to DD, but does it warrant a claim of a 'they shoot horses don't they' attitude towards the rank and file?
