So has the Cav's, Robbie McEwen's etc. He is a bloke who plays to his strength in the selected bunch sprint and wins.
He has shown in many race's he's good at the tough hilly stuff but has been dropped by only a fraction over what his ability enables many a time. In contrast he has a lot better sprint than those guys who are slightly better. Maybe he is smart? but has learned to sit on a bit more when the going gets tough because he can smoke most non-sprinters in the finish.
I believe wheel sucking to sit on if your an equal and don't contribute, not if your skills are different or your on the edge of getting dropped.
What do you expect him to do, sit up and lose each race or attack and die?
On a side note I think the thread is ridiculous.
