Yes he might well hold on to the pink for a good while.

The bookies have got him down as favourite for the Giro. I've got my reservations as he's never ridden any stage races which were longer than a week. But then again, it's Remco...

Remco winning the Giro in his second pro season, having never raced over three weeks would be the stuff on dynasties.

@Acliff is right - even if he has the legs, who is bringing the bottles 5km from the top of a climb? Nobody.

James Knox probably, but even Remco is going to struggle by himself against the mountain trains.
The quickstep team is likely to be dual purpose, I think Jakobsen was formerly on the short list so at least some people assigned to contest sprints.
