Would be brilliant if the two of them work together on Sunday. If one of them wins, I don't mind the other one looks like Sivakov.

Roglic does his own thing, so I don't think that matters much. If Pogacar has his legs does any tactic matter? The only thing you can do then is hope he attacks early and blows himself up. But why would he attack early if his team is still around.

If you isolate him, you can create chaos with Van Wilder/Uijtdebroeks/Hermans which means Pogacar has to do more work himself. Which tires him. Evenepoel can just cruise along.

I actually like the new jersey from Spain

Wouldn't you want to isolate Pogacar? So that if you get over mount Kigali and want to create chaos, they don't easily deflect that?

Tactically what should Belgium do in the RR? I'm in between 2 strategies. Take the lead in the peloton, close gaps, and eventually follow with Van Wilder/Hermans/Uijtdebroecks when high profile rider attacks. Make the race as hard as possible from the start. Use Vermeersch, Vervaeke, and...

Impressive that his best training is at altitude, in this heat and humidity. Complete bs or no need to race.

27C, but feels like 33C, and combined with humidity 52%

I think some riders will also be too hesitant in leaving early.

With how hot and hard the race is, I wonder if we're going to get a very boring race until the last 2-3 rounds.

But winning TDF is not going to happen. Giro or Vuelta might be possible

Depends on what you think is funny. Maybe the expectations of LIDL-Trek are top 10 and if everything goes perfect top 5. I wouldn't send him to TDF though. Giro/Vuelta double.

Belgian riders had the opportunity to prepare for this. Even the younglings.

Some training pictures from Rwanda

That's the OneCycling layer of paint they threw on it. More circuits, men and women on the same day.
