Movistar aren't exactly blessed jwhen it comes to bunch engines. And they signed him on a four year deal so I think they really rate what he brings to the team.
So do I. He is a big valuable engine for the team.
I do think they will think about his selection though, as it's true, if he's injured it is harder to heal. And it's caused him to drop out. I do hope to see him back at the tour. I'm sure he'll fight for it.
