It's a bit weird if they let Nordhagen do one when they wouldn't let Uijtdebroeks do one.
It has never been said as far as I've read that Uijtdebroeks was denied riding a GT. It's that he wanted to ride for GC rather than being a domestique. He probably would have ridden one last season as well if he hadn't still had issues with his nerve injury.

I imagine something will happen and the Vuelta lineup is in flux. I'd have Yates as nominal Vuelta leader, tbh but I guess you have to give Matteo a shot at GC at some point...

You might be right, that's just what I read, but it might have been manipulated or taken out of context.
