I am too, I like to see him do well but perhaps the Grand Tour's are just out of his grasp. With the rise of the new podium crop of GC guys, I don't see it getting easier, Bardet, Pinot, Kruiswijk, Dumoulin etc, that's a lot of riders to beat. Though, I wonder if targeting the Giro or Vuelta would do anything for him versus the TdF.
