not really. remco has always looked capable of doing anything he wanted-just like wout (mvdp maybe down the road). as much as these guys seem
to do whatever the team says/wants/needs, they clearly have the talent to shine in different disciplines, situations, terrains, et al. depending on the day
or race, they seem to have a little more "flexibility."
if remco wins the vuelta, do i see him focusing mainly on gt's and stage races? no. the young punks (i'll throw pidcock in there as well) seem to prize
being able to do whatever they want-and usually winning or close to it-versus being pigeonholed into just classics/one-days or only road vs mtb/cyclocross.
quick-step w/patty l seemed to be the last of the holdouts but it's evident if he wants to attract/retain these exciting young punks, he's gotta be more open than
his usual my way or the highway methods.
