Libertine Seguros said:And yet it seems to be absolutely set in stone, at least in the media, that everybody accepts Renshaw as the best leadout man in the sport. It's easy to appear the best when you have a guy behind you so good that he'll win even if you do your job at a mediocre level.
Renshaw is damn good at what he does. But we have no idea if he could do what Hondo does, because he's never asked to. I want to see what Cavendish does if people get under his skin now, since the old trick used to be "hide behind Renshaw".
It's like jumping to the conclusion that hernandez is the best climbing domestique because Contador was destroying everyone in the mountains.
