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.
