As things currently stand, it looks like it's been a mistake for him to target the GC in the Giro rather than hunting stage wins and KOM. The team has of course got its stage wins anyway, so it isn't a disaster for BORA, but it's still a shame they've taken all his aggressiveness and exciting riding style and replaced it with a jar of out-of-date pickles.
That said, I didn't think Gaudu would be worth much as a GC rider either after he failed in the 2021 Tour, so there's obviously still plenty of time for him to win me over.
