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!
