I think you’re right, I was just trying to provoke people. He’s a very good rider, but I see similarities with Thomas, in the sense that he’s had a lot of bad luck which means he’s never managed to prepare for and ride the Tour without setbacks.
I don’t think he’ll ever win it, but I’d have said the same about Thomas until 18 months ago.

hehe I mean I'm all for a bloke who keeps trying and finally cracks through for a win. Much more interesting than the genetic freak (or massive doper) that just smashes everything like there's no gravity.
I've never put money on him to win. So there's also that.

It is difficult to see him winning given the new talent. I think 2018 was his year sadly.
In term of aussies, there was a greater sense of inevitability with cadel, he had come much closer a number of times.
