    Yeah, I expected less impact of the winter crash. Apparently it still has a big toll on him. Lucky for Pogacar really.

    Evenepoel literally won WC, LBL and Vuelta in the same year, and a year later WC ITT. The only thing he hasn't ridden yet is on cobbles. He clearly is a generalist.

    Evenepoel is riding on his climbing bike with TT handlebars on top of it, that are positioned a bit higher so it's easier to breath. I guess that means he'll ride the full 11km's in those handlebars.

    I'm also still waiting on 1-2 seasons without a crash for Evenepoel. It might take a while before I'm right. Vingegaard is not winning the Tour, that's clear to me now that he can't even reach TDF 2022 level of performance.

    Except that he completely destroyed Pogacar at the WC. He was indeed not close to Pogacar's level, because he was better.

    What does that have to do with anything? It's about a whole season, not about a single race.

    You literally said he was lucky that he avoided Pogacar in LBL, or Pogacar/Vingegaard in the Vuelta. And we ignore that he beat everyone at the WC. But that also doesn't count for some reason. He clearly was the best rider in 2022.

    Because you are comparing a specialist (Ganna) to a generalist (Pogacar). While Evenepoel (generalist) and Vingegaard (GT rider) are much more similar to each other.

    Vingegaard followed an attack in the wheel, while Evenepoel reeled a 50km attack back in.

    Yeah, Evenepoel is always lucky when he wins something significant.

    Lol, not remotely the same

    I would find it very questionable if Evenepoel would take such a step suddenly

    Definitely, if he rides podium this year he should get his shot at a GT as sole leader next year.

    Since he can push the same wattage in TT position, why not ride with handlebars as long as they don’t weigh too much?

    I think that if today was a bad day he'll finish 2nd tomorrow.
