Re:
When on his game yes I agree, however he's spent the last 2 seasons in really poor form for the first half of the year getting dropped on most climbs. Granted he did win le tour in 2014, but last year he got blown away before foolishly getting DQ'd at la Vuelta. I hope to see something better from him this season in the run up to the Giro.
Cannibal72 said:The guy's the best rider around right now, in my opinion. Relentlessly attacking, incredibly versatile, and a brilliant descender to boot. I think he'll win LBL at some point, but no one since Berzin has won that in April and then been able to hold that form all the way into July, and that was a...different time. He's got to be an overwhelming favourite for Rio though.
