The Olympics are a one day race, using the form you've built in the previous three months, so all he has to do between the end of the Tour and the Olympic RR is rest.
If he wanted to win the Vuelta, he'd need to be going to altitude for another three weeks, whilst hoping and praying that his body doesn't shut down in protest.

He could be the first to do it in a single season though. I'd be after that title rather than pissing about with Olympics.
