Fair to say Sky were very poor, after showing signs of getting their classics shit together in the last few seasons.
Considering the current trend is for riders to become increasingly specialised, the whole squad, both domestiques and leaders, all seem to be specialising in carrying out their duties in stage races, while hoping that the form works the same for one-dayers. Tough to compete with those doing the opposite...although maybe three GC riders on the podium of LBL says otherwise!
Algarve and Tirreno-Adriatico seem so long ago...
Also Sky’s domestique support doesn’t seem strong enough or focussed enough to beat quickstep.
