  • I was hoping to see more of Narveaz maybe run him as a second protected rider in case something happens to Carapaz.

    For the GC you mean? Narvaez is not, and will never be, a GC rider as he can't climb with the best. He's found his niche now as a classics rider and solid puncheur. I think both Quick-Step and Ineos assumed that because he was South American he was a climber, and it's taken him some time to shake off that assumption.

  • My cycling history memory isn't as good as yours but I seem to remember him getting some surprisingly good results in the last few years. Looking it up now I must have been thinking of the 2020 giro stage he won and it wasn't even that hilly
