Re:
Yea, well...thats not the plan of Sky. G is British, a popular guy in media and Dave will do anything he can to win Tour with him.
Most Brits dont care about anything outside Tour so G focusing on Tour and one week stage is his future, the same fashion Wiggins and Froome have done for past few years. But instead of him doing other GT's , he probably will do more classics alongside. Anyway, the plan of Sky is clear that after Froome is done, G is the next guy in line, and then after him who knows, probably X/Y Yates.
rm7 said:The only GT that suits him is the Tour. Giro and Vuelta are far to explosive and steep gradients most of the time.
No way he'll ever be Tour captain for SKY or beat any of the big GT guys over 3 weeks. He's fine for one week races with a TT in it.
