It’s certainly impressive, but it still hangs over them that for one of the perennial highest budgets in the sport, and one of the biggest teams, they’re still coming up just short in the individual GC in the biggest race on the calendar, just like every year since Perreiro slipped into a 30-minute breakaway in 2006.
8 top 10s, if anything, just reinforces the idea that they are a collection of individuals, who lack a single team focus.
Ineos, by contrast, have won basically nothing of consequence. Except for one race in July.
