No and Yes. He's clearly the best GC rider in this year's TdF and we'll never know if Bernal could have matched him. It's also great to see him go for winning stages, rather than just marking his opponents and surviving the climbs.

But the best GC rider is only the best rider in the world if GC riding is the most important test, and that's a matter of opinion. He has but one classics victory, for example.
