More Peschel or Rich than Boardman. He can climb but struggles against the climbers to defend.
See Rich, huge physique, O'neill is cut from similar cloth. Maybe he could have made a name fore himself in a leadout train. Not the last man off, but one of the engines like Rich in the saeco express for Cipollini.
