I think he's been promised leadership in week long stage races. He's always been too versatile for his own good, and this has stymied his time at Sky, but he has long held ambitions to be a GC rider stemming from his time as an U23 rider.
The story goes that when Brailsford said that Team Sky's goal was to win the Tour with a British rider within 5 years, Kennaugh was the rider he had in mind to achieve that goal. He's obviously not scaled those heights, but he's still only 28 and is clearly very talented so you'd hope he has his best years ahead of him.
