Because Dainese replaces Pedersen in RvV, and he's already in Belgium.Appears Dainese has been replaced with Sütterlin.

Valverde, Rojas, Erviti, I thought I had seen them together forever, although it'll 'only' be the 10th GT, 5th Vuelta, and 3rd Tour - Vuelta combo they start together, out of 71 GTs, 33 Vueltas, and 23 Vuelta-Tour doubles among them individually if they start this one.Movistar's Vuelta line-up:
Mas
Valverde
Soler
Verona
Olivera
Rojas
Erviti
Arcas
The big question is who knows what any of their form is going to be like.
Valverde and Erviti do race almost everything together. Rojas doesn't race as much with the two of them although still a lot. About two years Movistar actually put up the number of races Valverde and Erviti had raced together at that point and it was crazy. They hadn't realized it was like 95% or higher of all the races they've raced since they both got to Movistar in 2005 have been with each other.Valverde, Rojas, Erviti, I thought I had seen them together forever, although it'll 'only' be the 10th GT, 5th Vuelta, and 3rd Tour - Vuelta combo they start together, out of 71 GTs, 33 Vueltas, and 23 Vuelta-Tour doubles among them individually if they start this one.
Has the final roster even been presented yet?So the final EF roster is not final?
JV takes the team selection to another level!!!
Do EF even have 8 riders left?So the final EF roster is not final?

Has the final roster even been presented yet?
All available riders went AWOL when they saw the Giro kitHas the final roster even been presented yet?
From what I understand, the big problem wasn't so much the people crashing in front of him, but the people crashing into him.(Stage 1 TdF was not him falling, but others falling in front of him)
What about if one of their leaders get Covid-19? This disease seems to have a strange tendency to mostly affect the leaders during GTs.I looking forward to see what JV do when they are number 1 and 2 but one of there domestique gets Co-vid 19. They would have to the same as in Giro - Otherwise they will look pathetic!
Not my point.What about if one of their leaders get Covid-19? This disease seems to have a strange tendency to mostly affect the leaders during GTs.
Well, we can't know what they do if they get a positive in the Vuelta until they get a positive in the Vuelta, and let's hope they don't.Not my point.
My point is if Chris Harper got Co-vid and not Kruijswijk. JV would still have been in Giro. That's why is pathetic if they don't pull out of The Vuelta if the get's any positive tests. Don't care if the number 1 or not. It is super hypocritical!
No they wouldn't.I looking forward to see what JV do when they are number 1 and 2 but one of there domestique gets Co-vid 19. They would have to the same as in Giro - Otherwise they will look pathetic!
They choosed to pull out of Giro because health was more important that riding Giro. And I understand.No they wouldn't.
Life is largely about risk vs. reward.
They won't. Jumbo absolutely had zero business in the Giro d'Italia anymore once Kruijswijk was out. So it was kinda logical to pull the team and not risk the infection spreading around the peloton with more cases emerging in their team in the upcoming days.I looking forward to see what JV do when they are number 1 and 2 but one of there domestique gets Co-vid 19.

At the Vuelta a Espana it would be like with Sunweb, which of course is a bit of a gamble!
About as pleasant as a mosquito bite on the finger.This Vuelta requires @Descender verdict.
