My fault, since I based my opinion merely on the CN front page news title on Andy & never bother reading further that he was merely looking to stay with the top 10 climbers.... Quite deceiving title from the CN folks-don't you think?

Yep, that's CN's for ya.
 
I think somewhere he has realized he needs to take baby steps in other races as well and not leave everything for LBL and The Tour. And I think thats the only way he can make a comeback or at least get some good results.

With Andy its mental as well - he needs to show in other races that he can compete with the likes of Froome. If he can get a leg up here - it will go a long way.

I'd say if he finishes within a minute of the winner on the green mountain - its work done.
