Unless there is a rider out there that can out TT or climb better than AC, you're dreaming. Teams are important, but I think it gets way overplayed. Separation is made on the big mountain top finishes and the TT. AC was clearly the dominant climber and TT'er, the individual disciplines that separate the great riders. With no TTT, the importance of a great overall team is even more diminushed. AC needs a decent team, but he doesn't need the strongest team because he is clearly the strongest rider.
