spend a couple of years riding around major races mid-pack
In a chat last night I said I reckon his best performances from now until retirement would be to hang in with the Valverde type groups.
It's perhaps a shame the crash limited his final gc wins total, but as the racing has been less processional & more exciting of late in the post-Frome era i'm not overly sad.

No, he’s not.
He believes he can come back to his best levels. So far, though, there is no evidence he can, but this truncated season hasn’t helped as he hasn’t been able to get the volume of racing he probably needs.
I think next season will be critical, if he can reach his previous levels he’ll continue, but if he can’t I think he’d rather quit than spend a couple of years riding around major races mid-pack whilst pocketing GT winner levels of wages.
