^^^ This. He should be doing super-domestique duties for Richie, who is the only man in the peloton with a snowball's chance of beating Froome. I can't decide if the reason Tejay isn't being put in that role is to pull in US viewers with a GC contender, or that he pushes his ego around. He doesn't seem the type but then on-camera and off-camera personas can be quite different (***cough***Lance***cough***).
