Re:
Yes I agree, im not sure whether the slight illness he picked up towards the end of the Tour will hinder him too, he had to go very deep into his reserves especially on the Alpe and that can take its toll.
SeriousSam said:It's been quite a long time since he had a dominant time trial performance (was it beating Tony at Romandie 2014?), but I would not be shocked if he rapidly gets back to being one of the best time trial specialists in the world.
Since he's amongst the best in the world when it comes to steep shortish ramps at the finish too, it's really all about recovery.
