Yes he is very good in the mountains. The toughest terrain is where slight differences in rider's abilities can result in minutes of difference in finishing time. So even though he has enjoyed an advantage there in years past, it is also where any weakening of his ability due to age will most likely show.
It was two years ago, it was a lunch bag, and it was accidental. The fan was an idot, but not malicious.
