Would have been good if he had raced the Vuelta for stage wins / experience, IMO. He would have likely gotten stronger, too.
I think his current level is more than enough to handle a full Vuelta, if he doesn't race for GC. No pressure, drop time early, what's the problem?
So what if Almeida is the leader and was promised leadership? (one of the reasons given) They're both (young) adults. They may not like each other that much, but it shouldn't be an issue.
