But Ineos have proved that if your riders are playing nicely that you can have multiple team leaders at a GT. I think that works when it's a slightly overcooked Froome and top-form Thomas or a top-form Bernal and a slightly less top-form Thomas but if Froome is fit next year we'll see how friendly Ineos will be.

Yeah, I think Ineos were lucky how that panned out and to an extent that's also a credit to Thomas putting the team before his own interests... i.e if it were for his first tour victory he might not have been so magnanimous, or, if Bernal was a few years older and more confident he might have made demands that he get full backing from day one. If it was Bernal vs Froome they might have had full on civil war, even if Bernal was locked in to win it and Froome knew he only had an outside chance...

Just looked, and disovered that Jumbo Visma has a 14 million euro budget, approx 3 million less than Sunweb.
But then you think 'Dumoulin, Roglic, Kruisjwijk' that's a pretty good GC team', but not if they're all all expecting to be king of the hill. I don't understand how the maths or the politics will work here when Movistar's made a history of trying to do the same with three times the budget and had pretty disappointing results.
