I'll disagree because both Gomez and AB have "front pack" ability in the sport to atleast be disruptors at worse and potential to be there in the end at best more often than a guy like LS. So while they may end up falling off by the end of the race, they'll have much more likelyhood to have an actual impact on the race + telecast than a guy with LS's specific ability.
ETA: Sure they want to win and both need to win to cement the "GOAT" or whatever proclaimation people want to make about them. But those 2 atleast have an ability to put themselves in a position to be at the front of the races earlier than what LS has. Thus that athlete can be more easily talked about (and shown on the coverage) than a guy MOP having to "race from the back". It's the old adage, some win the race, and some "make" the race. AB certainly has the ability to basically decide the race by his tactics, even if he doesn't actually benefit in the end by said tactics.
