The best Sky rider today was 61st. When was the last time they were so out of the GC action in a stage race, never mind a GT? That's got to affect how the team performs, so for Tao I think it's about learning how his body reacts to three weeks of racing.
It's interesting that Enric Mas is doing so well, him and Tao had a great battle in the Tour de Savoie Mont Blanc two years ago when they were u23 riders. Mas rode the Vuelta last year in his neo-pro season.

Tao's riding this softly-softly to become acclimatised to a GT, isn't he? I mean, being young and all that.
