Actually it's a very good analogy in this instance. Ignoring his success against the best riders the rest of the year, in this case, is fitting the circumstance to suit an agenda.

You act like I suggested Memphis was his only game....I could have listed a quarter of the season against non-competition, but assumed that was implicit. The analogy is exactly right.
