Waterloo Sunrise said:Yeah, the 28 year old who's been a top climber for 4 or 5 years and yet never finished better than 8th in a GT was a pretty obvious choice.
The thing I'm mocking is the deliberate ignorance of any factor other than 1 day climbing capability, that leads people to assume Anton is a top GC guy without any proof, despite having had ample opportunity to prove he is, if he is.
You are right and wrong. Besides last years Vuelta he never performed for a long perion in a GT. Last year he was good until he crashed out, maybe he would've had a bad day if he didn't crash, but we will never know. Fact is that he was really strong last year.
