I still don't really get it.
Hasn't he got a really good team that can always get/keep him near the front?
What if two of his team were really s**t and couldn't do that for him? He wouldn't be so amazing then.
People are obviously more interested in who can do the quickest time over the whole race, which is why he doesn't get the coverage that he necessarily deserves.
The Sprinters suely get their coverage in the Velodrome.
I miss The Milk Race
