I personally think it's strange Landa ended up at Sky at all: would have thought Movistar would have firstly because he's Spanish and secondly after riding the 2015 Giro in support of Aru he showed he was capable of winning a GT. maybe the timing was off and the team felt they didn't want three leaders on the books. Although Valverde is still winning for fun (and this Tour really misses him) surely his time going for GC is close to an end, it makes sense to snaffle the best Spanish GT rider out there.
And being Spanish he might find he leapfrogs Quintana in the pecking order, especially what has been so far a disappointing season by Quintana's standards. Was sad seeing him go backwards yesterday.
