So Cav's down for the Vuelta and not the round of post-Tour crits as he attempts to keep his form for the Worlds in Australia. Given that Greipel won 4 stages there last year and Cav wins at least 4 stages in Grand Tours how many could he win?
Freddy Maertens picked up 13 in 1977 so anything's possible I guess?

He won't finish, at least I doubt he plans to.

+1. I think last year a trend started of peeps pulling out before they got 'too' tyred so they could then recoup for the tour.

Yeah they don't want to go to the Worlds deflated.

Most riders tread lightly before the Worlds. |
That's why they start the Vuelta - good low-pressure build-up.

Exactly. Stop some time second week to avoid a blowout. |

Not sure, he'll have to tread carefully.
