In reply to Robert Durran:

Its a combination of the two, (and more)
One could argue that if Landa had been team leader, Sky would have been able to give him the win, same with Thomas. But the riders do have to be good enough. Sagan is the fastest cyclist in a sprint, but he'll never win the GC.
Who's the best runner, Bolt or Farah?
