This is what Jack Haig said about his Dauphine and I can't help but see a lot of shade thrown Padun's way:
Yeah, the last two stages were super impressive with what he did there and he was climbing with some of the best. But also the team was maybe a little bit disappointed that he wasn’t quite there in the first couple of stages when Sonny really needed an extra teammate to help bring back the breakaway. He probably could have had the opportunity to win three more stages if the break hadn’t stayed away.
If he saved all his energy to go for individual glory instead of follow team plans, that'd make him less than popular at B-V.
