On the basis of the question, "No" Ben shouldn't replace Wout. But that's not the actual question. The question is, "Should Ben be the one to fill Wout's abandoned spot." I think it should be Jonas's pick. Where does he think he needs help? He might choose an engine, thinking he can handle the mountains without more help. But me, I love having a first-timer get a chance to shine.
For every dollar above a set limit, a matching amount could go into a shared account allocated to developing teams/nations. Competition is good for the sport, funding cycling clubs is good for the sport.
