remco (as the protected rider at this point in his career) seems better suited for one-days or shorter, one week (or less) tours. grand tours
tend to have way too many ways to lose time/importance. not putting it past him to become one of those dozen or so current riders than can realistically
compete for a gt podium spot but not seeing it. winning weeklong tours doesn't really seem to move the needle in the cycling world. i've said before that certain riders
(miguel lopez, tejay, ritchie, dani martinez, etc.) seem better suited for weeklong tours vs 3 week tours. ain't gonna happen but remco would be a helluva
super-domestique. better than seppuku. better than tgh. better than sivakov. better than brandon. better than Jonas (this last one aged well...)
