But you could make the argument that he is a still a Top 5 GT rider, more or less, which should, in theory, be quite attractive to any number of teams.
As a bonus, he doesn't need a team of climbers, either.
I always found him an easy rider to like, probably because he is a bit enigmatic. He seems to be quite shy and not particularly worldly. He seems to need his entourage (Dayer, Winner etc) around him to feel comfortable outside of Colombia. But he's not really a team player. That's just how he is. On the other hand, we've seen lone wolves get into trouble, Clinic-wise, too...
