Agree with it being his MO. Evenepoel wins, it's part of the Lefevere grand plan, Evenepoel loses, it's Evenepoel's fault. Ditto with Alaphilippe: starts winning again, it's down to Lefevere, stays losing, he's lost it. It's all about Lefevere, really.
That said, this is also fairly standard schtick: you're being paid for what you're going to win, not for what you've won in the past. (The exception to this, of course, being teams like BMC or IPT which are just pension schemes for a certain class of rider.)
The TL/DR here? Nothing new to see, nothing new to complain about.
