He might have shifted his focus in training for 1-day races, but his schedule until April only has Valencia, Algarve, T-A and Itzulia - and not a single 1-day race. Arguably the classics season hasn't started yet, but he could have done Omloop or SB (which would have been a good test for his sterrato skills), and he could go to E3 or MSR. I'm not saying he should have done that, but like others, I'm confused as to what are his goals this season. So far we have him doing said training, whilst going to 4 early season key GC stage races, with key targets for the later in the year being La Vuelta (even if in a let's see how it goes mindset) and LBL (an old discussion I know, but will he be competing against Ala?). I just think that between QS and Remco's ideas, his goals seem to be getting him to win everywhere, and for such a young rider still trying to establish himself at the big boys' table, he would be wise to focus on one thing at this moment.
