His schedule up to June has been announced as follows:

Paris-Nice
Gent-Wevelgem
Three days of de Panne
Tour of Flandres
Paris-Roubaix
Gran Premio Llodio
Vuelta a Rioja
Vuelta de Asturias
Tour de Picardie
Bayern Rundfahrt
Dauphiné Liberé
French national championships

I fear that might be too much for him. Yes Euskatel have to make the numbers up when they send a team to De Panne (why bother?) but this guy's a real talent and needs nurturing, not a Belgian kicking. That said, despite a scrawny build, he's a very good rouleur.

It would be interesting to know what his specific objectives are along the way.

Contador has that useful ability of being a great rouleur despite his slight build.

I agree about the overkill schedule.

Looking forward to seeing him in some big races - and surely there's some room for adjustment?
