>>983440This. The domestiques on team Sky would be GC contenders on other teams. And as long as others don't have the same level of domestiques Sky will ride that train up the mountains and dominate the tdf GC.
Sky is also the only team in the GC contention that is run like a professional team who's only aim is to win the GC. Movistar, Tinkoff, and Astana are all run like shit and while they have some great riders they don't ride the same way as a one unit with the only aim being winning the GC.
Fucking Mollema and Yates are ahead of Quintana in the GC right now because Movistar can't into tactics. And Quintana was supposed to be the only person capable of challenging Froome. Movistar have some excellent riders on their tdf team but you don't see them riding like sky rides.
People hate Sky for their train but personally I have huge respect for them all for doing what they do. They all ride to win, not to look good. It might be a bit boring but that's only because others don't do it. I just can't wait for 3 or 4 GC trains attacking others on climbs.
