Said it several times. he is a time triallist not a racer. We looked at his Tokyo 100m splits which tells a lot about his speed variation, very slow acceleration off start, running hard to catch up, no flat out top gear speed.
Then there is his awkward running style, no lift from hips and short 'air time', painful to watch actually.
Then there is the documented and reported statement fron Nic Bideau that "speed is not important", and hilariously stupid comment even if it came from a bloke in a pub, let alone the coach.
Lots of reasons rather than conspiracies about vaccines whech don't seem to have affected others. How about maybe it was just the Covid hey.
Have mentioned before that he should probably be a pacer, and that's probably where he will end up
