I was only being half serious with the point being that in 2016 nobody knew that Thomas in retrospective would become quite a handy general classification contender.

Same goes for Martinez. Maybe he becomes a fantastic pure climber on his day with a nice kick to secure points for the polka dots jersey. Sounds entirely legit to me. Then it's not a shame to lose a sprint against Martinez after he had a great day and was able to hang on.

After all that's exactly what he did to Almeida at Romandie last year!

Haters gotta hate!
I will push the Taylor Swift lyric one step further... Lol..
Weird to me that there is a narrative that makes Roglic ( others) of little to no use unless he is capable of the podium. Might just be something I see, but from what I have known of bike racing, racers they lose way, way more than they win and there is still value in racing that doesn't result in a win.
