I think some people dislike him because he, in races like La Vuelta, tends to ride very conservatively, following wheels and relying on his great sprint to pick up bonus seconds at the end. Like in 2012.
But I agree, although he isn't one of my favourites you have to admire how he stays competitive throughout an entire season

Bardet isn't explosive enough. He also said he's going to wait for the final climb.

Valverde has this unless Froome turns on the motor. Etix could also win if they send Martin up the road on the final climb and hope alaphilippe has a good sprint.
