Also true. Other teams recruiting big rigs for those roles seems to have opened things up a little.
I think it’s clear Bernal has been telling the truth when he’s said he’s there to learn and he’s not quite the finished stone he’ll no doubt become. So the prospect of him fulfilling team duties until Thomas’s title is in the bag and then being aloud to fly is exciting.
It’s not particularly likely given his team’s history, especially if the race stays this open, but if it happens I’ll be cracking beers and watching with glee

I'm hoping Bernal will get a chance to show us what he's capable of as well-I admire how Thomas has transformed himself but there's nothing more exciting than seeing a really gifted climber forcing a race instead of a bunch of track/tt specialists pacing themselves up a climb and trying to hold on.
Sky also don't seem to have the same engine that they used to with Kiryienka and Sioutsou murdering the pace till half way up every climb.
