Not racing the Giro because you plan to race the Tour is completely conventional.
So his complete dearth of results throughout the season is because they were saving him for the Tour? Is that why he climbed off at LBL? For me Porte has been ill, he hasn't raced much in an attempt to get him to the Tour, but he hasn't done it on merit this season anyway.
