Yes. He said that he has "kept just enough fitness" so that he can race for 3 weeks and hopes his form will grow during the race.
INEOS will look silly if he DNFs due to fatique.

Pidcock will be better off for (even most of
) a Vuelta in his legs for Worlds and Roubaix. And even if he comes out cooked, we've seen in previous years how often a Vuelta in one season is good prep for the following Classics season next year.

All the talk about Movistar's tactics has clouded discussion on Ineos new approach to racing during this Vuelta. So much action for so little gains and so much chaos in two epic stages. It was fun.
What do you all think about Sivakov and Tao GH? Not top tier talents, but they showed a lot of promise before, but haven't had the best seasons, to put it mildly.
Tao in particular has been consistently mediocre. A former Giro winner, even though it was defo a team effort and in the first COVID year.
Sivakov - considered to be the bigger talent - was a good stage racer before the pandemic hit. Haven't seen much of that anymore.

I wonder if Tao's early season concussion has had a longer term impact, certainly set him back to begin with.

The thing with Sivakov is that he was already super professional and on big teams as a junior and u23 rider, so it could be that he has less room left for improving than others. He also has some descending problems, but those can be fixed.

Van Baarle and Rowe should be able to do a good enough positioning job and as TourofSardinia said, Ganna could ride. He was very useful for Bernal in Strade stage of the Giro this year.

This.
And the way that people have given up on this guy, you'd think he'd won the Giro 5 years ago rather than 1.

Ganna is not a replacement IMO. He was already there and is a bit different kind of rider. I was expecting Moscon and Ganna to be next to Bernal's side in next year Tour. They need to explode the race in the first 5 days if they are expecting to have a chance.

The one thing that has impressed me with Ganna this year that we didn't already know about were his bike handling skills. Howw he rode on the sterrato and hiss cornering in the ITTs was really good. It makes me think that he should bee good on the cobbles.

Yeah, but u23 or junior Roubaix result often don't translate that well to the pro ranks...

LOL. If true, then it is a bad sign. What is UAE doing. But I doubt it is true.

That rumour sounds like a Conti's dig at Grenadiers.
The numbers are way off the realm of reason.
And not even taking the breach of contract into account.
Kerrison's departure comes as a surprise to me.
The riders do look a bit subpar, but not sure it's about him.
If they think Pogačar's main concern, Grenadiers need a resource that exceeds his boundaries.

While this is clearly insane/nonsense, I have no problem with the salary if it were true. Everyone else would need to be paid more to reflect this insane salary. From his rivals to the lowest domestique.
