Considering his performance in this time trail, his ride in the first TT and his performance in the Alps with his constant attacking, should Schumacher have been a real threat for the overall classification?

I'm not nearly as nuanced as all of you regarding cycling and the intricacies of the tour, so excuse my ignorange. He had the legs in the Alps to constantly attack and coupled with his time trailing ability I assumed he should have finished higher than 25.

Thanks.
