I can't help but wonder if it's the "curse" of becoming too content, he has basically won everything he could reasonably hope to win.
So now he'll just have to try to win something unreasonably, such as... a mass sprint in a Grand Tour.
But anyway; Lutsenko just won in Oman.
Let's be honest here, there are still several races he hasn't won that he could win/could have won. Tirreno, Paris-Nice, Tour de Suisse, Tour de Romandie, Brabantse Pijl, AGR...
Of those AGR and Strade Bianche (if you want to include it) are the only ones he's going to. He's said he'll never race Tirreno again, and definitely isn't going to Paris-Nice or Suisse this year and highly unlikely he's going to Romandie or Brabantse either.
Now the "curse" of being too content may well be accurate for him now that he's won the Worlds, but it's most definitely not the "curse" of the rainbow jersey. If it were that he wouldn't have the podiums he's already racked up.
Interestingly enough he was asked if there was a stage at the Tour he'd like to win, and his response was yes, I want to win the sprint on the Champs Elysees. Don't see it happening, but that was the answer he gave when asked that question. Nothing about a stage that would be realistic for him to win.
