Yes, that's it.SeriousSam said:hrotha said:The point I'm making is about riders who would aim for a decent pacing by following wheels and being invisible, typically without trying anything else.
Are you arguing that GC guys without realistic hope to be on the podium shouldn't be GC riders, or that they should change their riding such that most of the time, they are much worse than they are now, but some incredibly small amount of the time, their huge gamble pays off and they possibly make the podium? Might of course not happen over the course of a thereby shortened career, in which case they'd just always be worse than they currently are.
