As for Tao, he's going to win a lot more. He makes the right decisions under pressure and understands what's going on, which a lot of physically stronger riders than him don't do. He's also very disciplined and full of motivation that I'm sure such a great win so early won't dissipate.
Agree. He's also very mature for his age and very psychologically strong which has got to help.
I fully expect him to win more than one GT for Ineos.

FWIW, I have no idea how Hindley and Kelderman are going to do in the future. Both are excellent riders, but as far as I can see, one major reason why they were beaten was because they were separated, whereas Tao and Rohan Dennis worked together. Sunweb might still not have won had Hindley worked for Kelderman, but they might have reduced the time loss for Kelderman, the much better time triallist (although he was only three seconds faster than Tao). I'm sure someone's already said this, and I certainly don't think it's a particularly great revelation.
