You could argue that their TT riders have regressed since Bigham joined. Ganna has been a shadow of his former self in TTs for the past 18 months, and Thomas lost the Giro because of a sub-standard TT ride.

No idea how effective Bigham is/was at Ineos - however Ganna is certainly of the old guard like Cancellera and Martin, when TT'ing seems to have moved on to the lighter top GC riders in recent times.
I'd argue it's more Ineos doesn't have the talent, rather than a training issue.

They certainly don't have a talent to rival Pogacar, Vingegaard and Evenepoel at the moment. That can be applied to most teams though. I think it's interesting that they seem to have switched to a talent development model, with 12 riders under the age of 25 on their roster, given how poor they've been at developing riders previously.
