Exactly this - from what I can see his whole approach all along has been to very sensibly not rush his development and to take the next steps when he feels he's properly ready for them - e.g. the amount of time he spent at Axeon before moving on to a pro team.
So far this seems to have really paid off while others who were promising talent starting out around the same time as him have burnt out/plateaued/not really got anywhere (as is unfortunately so often the case).

As Tao is smart in his own right, very switched on. As we saw with doing an extra year u23. He’ll stay with sky as the sky programme is working for him in development terms.
If he went to a gt it would also be only because he thought he was ready. Which it seems he is, but perhaps not for the pressure of the tour, as you say can’t drop out of on his knees.
A gt really buries people. Doing the Vuelta means he can then take as long as needed to recover without loosing part of a season.
