So like Barguil who wasn't going for GC? 
Or Landa, who wasn't going for GC? 
Exactly I do not believe that Bardet will not go for GC
I find Bardet not going for GC very hard to understand, although it is the first time he's ever done 2 GTs in one season so that helps me to understand it a small bit...
Ok, according to cyclingnews, Vincent Lavenu and Bardet have said Bardet will start out as going for GC and if he isn't in good enough condition, he'll then revert to going for stage wins. Can the media please agree on what someone is doing for once in my life, or is that a far-fetched dream?

That makes the most sense imo, I believe that's also what Dumoulin said before the 2016 Giro.

Barguil wasn't going for GC. He simply ended up there and grabbed the top-10 along the way, but that wasn't really the goal, just a product of his amazing riding.
And Landa was always riding GC in the Tour in case something happened to Froome |

The massive question is: who'll be the guy at the end of contract who'll finish top 10 in the GC? |

That is the god damn spirit my lad

I expect good things, attack of top5 for sure, maybe even 3rd place.

Not really bold to say that, thats Majkas level, but its very unlikely he gets better than that. |
