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.

Knox for one yes, Almeida looked really strong in Burgos and L'Ain as well.

Shame DQS had to let Enric Mas go.
