I would love to see some form from Stannard. A few years back he was being talked up as a potential Paris-Roubaix winner, now his season seems to revolve around making the Tour team and working as a domestique on the flats for Froome.
He’s never been a prolific winner, nor will he ever be. He’d be best used in a QS type role, where he goes away a long way out and forces other teams to chase, but Sky have yet to show any inclination in using that type of tactic.
