Re:
happy for quintana - great climber.
but it does not change the fact that a recalibration in what a GT is supposed to crown needs to happen. In a historically balanced GT, quintana would have been sprinting at the top of mountains for the spotted jersey and finishing maybe top five 5-10 mins down on a more all-round champion.
if you have been wondering why we have all these anorexic riders in the peloton - look no further than the fact that GTs have gotten so off-balance that there is almost no benefit to being strong for 80-120KM of ITT.
