The possible arrival of Miguel Lopez would be good for Soler. Less pressure in the GT's for riding a GC, so that he can focus on what he does the best: attacking and hunting for stages. And he will have the freedom in plenty of stageraces of one week to lead the team. A bit like a younger Luis Sanchez in his Caisse days.
Thing is Movistar has to stop designate every competent climber in their GT squad as GC leader. Maybe all this awkwardness come from Valverde still being there and not completely awful. They chose to vacate the Giro leadership just to build a trident in other GT because they think a joint leadership of one real contender plus Valverde will be more awkward so let's make it three?
If they once put Landa and Quintana to wrestle with each other and Valverde, there is also chance they will put Mas and López in the same GT, plus Valverde, and funny thing will happen again. If they're lucky it can be as funny as Carapaz winning Giro, but to this day I still think it's not how they meant it to happen. Soler, meanwhile, will hopelessly still lead a GT with a leftover squad.
Valverde has been a problem in GT lately. But he's so big and he's done so much, I can understand that he has the right to be a problem.
