My kid was kinda that way about equipment, as I was. They are racing for 15 sec diff or so. If along with everything else like having to work extra hard, the equipment is not dialed in, an ITT current WC may want to just not play than turn in a bad time. I don't think he handled it well, but I understand it.
If he was a mid level rider, who cares if he gets 20th or 50th, or 150th. But he was going for the win and felt it was out of reach.
As a fan, I think an ITT win would have looked better for the team than where I think there GC guy will finish. But then, I don't know what his agreement was.
